2021 General Contest Information

Contest rules

Teams will be allowed to use their own personal computers (1 per contestant, 3 per team).
Each contestant will log into the contest server separately.
Contestants can use any development environment they are comfortable with and are not required to install the contest image but can if they so choose. While we will try to answer questions about the contest environment, please be aware that we did not create the image below and may not be able to address issues you may have (specifically, but not limited to graphics and network issues) - caveat emptor.
A link to the contest image and installation instructions will be provided soon.

Only use of standard libraries will be allowed.

During the competition, teams may communicate about the contest only with their team members and contest officials. Teams may not communicate about the contest with coaches, contestants on other teams, family members, etc.

It is up to the team members to decide how best it is to communicate, ie Skype, Zoom, email, etc.
It is up to the team members to decide how best to share their files, ie Drive, Dropbox, etc.

Teams are permitted to use electronic and/or physical (e.g. book) resources available to them during the competition. This includes online resources available to the general public.
Teams may not use AI assisted coding tools (eg. CoPilot, etc.), fee-, institution specific-, or restricted subscription-based resources, such as restricted access journals, upgraded websites requiring payments, etc.
All teams (and every team member) that advance to the NAC must be prepared to meet with the judging team within 10 days of the contest for an on-line meeting with video(skype or zoom) should the judges have any questions about your submissions. Failure to comply will disqualify your entire team from advancing to the North America Championship.
The competition will be run under the honor system, according to academic standards of conduct.

Team Names
- Each team name must consist of the institution name (greater than 1 character but less than or equal to 8 characters) followed by a hyphen (-) followed by a team name (greater than 0 characters but less than or equal to 24 characters). Please note that spaces are counted as characters.
- Format:INSTITUTION-TEAMNAME
  INSTITUTION = University name or abbreviation. 1 < length(INSTITUTION ) <= 8.
  TEAMNAME = Your team name. 1 <= length(TEAMNAME) <= 24.
  
  Each individual institution must use the same name for the INSTITUTION field.
  
  Eg. If Binghamton University sends multiple teams each team must fill in the INSTITUTION field with the same name.
  
  BU-TEAMNAME1
  BU-TEAMNAME2
  BU-TEAMNAME3
  OR
  SUNYBING-TEAMNAME1
  SUNYBING-TEAMNAME2
  SUNYBING-TEAMNAME3
  
  Most teams from last year would be valid with these new rules.
  An example of a subtle change would be our champions:
  Columbia - Kington
  The space before the hyphen (-) would have to be eliminated.
  Columbia- Kington or Columbia-Kington would be valid.
