This year due to problems with the test server, we decided not to define absolute winners ofUkraineSouthern region.

The test server was mostly unavailable at the second half of the contest. Therefore, we asked team to solve tasks locally, at their working places in the laboratories, and then to store the solutions at a specific folder named with login name of the team. The contents of all the folders was then copied by the members of organizing committees at the sites, and manually entered into the test system after its performance was fully recovered.

As the recovery was made after the official contest finish, to avoid wrong penalty calculation, the members of organizing committees have made a collegiate decision on how to calculate penalties for correctly solved tasks that were loaded into the test system after the official contest finish. The author of the idea – Alexander Antonenko, coach, Odessa Mechnikov National University.

The formula uses data from the two standings available in the test system:

First – standings as at the official contest finish (6:11:50)

http://olymp.sumdu.edu.ua/standings212.php

Second – standings as the actual contest finish (29:37:59, i.e. Sunday, 27th evening)

http://ejudge.sumdu.edu.ua/standings-212.php

After manual submission of all the solutions available at the sites’ organizing committees, we prepared a comparison table of the form

team

tasks solved before official contest finish

 

tasks solved before actual contest finish

 

difference

 

 

penalty before official contest finish

 

penalty as at actual contest finish

 

 

TO

TA

TA-TO

PA =PO+

and use the results to calculate the ranks of teams.
