On Saturday September the 26[sup]th[/sup], from 3:15 PM to 6:15 PM, we are hosting a mock DWITE contest. The problems, test data, and possibly analyses will be provided by Amlesh Jaykumar of Waterloo Collegiate Institute ([url=/user/amleshjk]amleshjk[/url]).

I have posted an invitation on the [url=http://compsci.ca/v3/]Computer Science Canada[/url] forums. This contest will be open to everybody. The primary purpose of this contest is to test our bandwidth (and other things, such as speed of database access). It is altogether possible that the contest will be a total failure; if this happens then it will not be rated. (It will also not be rated if A.J.'s problems or test data turn out to be less than satisfactory, but I'm pretty sure he'll do a good job.)

Anyway, if you want to participate, just treat it like all of the other contests we have done so far - you know what to do.

Obviously, the contest will have ECOO/DWITE scoring style - each problem is worth 100 points, you get two submissions per problem, you get a time bonus point for every five minute interval left before the end of the contest (at the time of submission) provided that you got at least one test case right, and you get 10 bonus points for your first submission provided that you got all test cases right.
