IDI Open - Rules

We generally follow the standard NCPC rules, which may be found here.

Who may compete

Any NTNU students can compete as official participants. In addition we welcome anyone to participate as unofficial participants, either through the online Kattis mirror contest, or by signing up for the onsite event as unofficial participants.

How to compete

Briefly summarized, the goal is to solve as many programming problems as possible and as quickly as possible. Problems are automatically judged using Kattis. Each team consists of at most three participants, competing individually is also welcome. Here are some important details:

• Each team may use a single computer during the contest
• Bringing written materials are allowed
• The only allowed use of internet is to access official documentation for the programming language you use
• You may not communicate with anyone outside your team during the contest
• You may not use any form of automated code generation or AI assistance
