Hello again!
I hope you had a good time at UKIEPC! This is an urgent email regarding
teams interested in competing at the NWERC (If you're unsure what this is,
see here: http://www.nwerc.eu/). *The deadline for promotion is Tomorrow
1st November.*
Each University is allowed to send 2 teams. Teams must not have a competing
student as coach, however you may enter Gary Conway (DCU School of
Computing, UKIEPC organizer) as your coach. If more than 1 team from a
university would like to enter, your UKIEPC ranking will be taken into
account and the higher team(s) will be promoted.
This year, it is being held on 23-25 November at the Eindhoven University
of Technology. You will be required to fund or acquire funding for the trip
yourself. The NWERC people did mention the option of staying on campus
(sleeping bag & air mat). Please email mart(a)nwerc.eu for more
information about that.
*If you are interested, please email Gary Conway (CC'd) with your team
details by tomorrow mid day!*
Regards,
Lucas Savva
Redbrick Committee - UKIEPC Organizer

Hi Lucas,
Can you put the call out TODAY to the students that competed in UKIEPC
about NWERC promotion. The NWERC people want all teams promoted
(registered) by tomorrow Thursday, 1st Nov.
NWERC will take place on the weekend of 23-25 November at the Eindhoven
University of Technology, Netherlands. http://www.nwerc.eu/
Each University is allowed to send 2 teams. Teams must not have a
competing student as coach (they are welcome to slot me in as coach if
needed).
DCU teams must fund their own travel and accommodation to NWERC (with
their lovely new MC loot) or try to squeeze more money out of MC for
this. The NWERC people did mention the option of staying on campus
(sleeping bag & air mat). Please email mart(a)nwerc.eu for more
information about staying on campus.
I have to give a preference to NWERC if there is more than 1 team coming
from a University. I will use the UKIEPC ranking for this.
Thanks,
Gary

Hi there!
I'm emailing you to follow up on your registration for UKIEPC this Saturday.
At the moment your team information is not fully complete. In order to
accept your team we need all of your coach + team member's details filled
out *before Friday morning*.
With the numbers we have, we may not be able to guarantee you a seat at the
event if we cannot accept your full registration by Friday. We would hate
to do this to anyone so please be sure your team information is correct,
and optionally email us at ukiepc(a)lists.redbrick.dcu.ie if/when you have
completed the registration. The bank information is the only optional area
in the form.
If you have any questions feel free to contact us at the address above.
Happy programming!

Subject: UKIEPC 2018 Final Details
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2018 15:15:46 +0100
From: UKIE PC <ukiepc(a)gmail.com>
To: UKIE PC <ukiepc(a)gmail.com>
Hi all,
Tomorrow is the UKIEPC 2018! Exciting.
1) You have probably been told to arrive prior to 10:30am by your local
organising site. This is because you need to be settled at a computer at
about this time, and be in place ready for the broadcast of the contest
introduction at ~10:40am (expected). This gives us then time to sort out
any team-based problems across the UK & Ireland, before kicking off as
planned (hopefully) at 11am.
2) The contest is 11am-4pm, and doesnt break for lunch etc. So be
prepped for to consume food/drink in an acceptable manner, as per the
rules at your local site.
3) Reminder on some key details (that'll be given tomorrow too).
a) Only 1 computer per team, and no internet searching. Also no other
digital devices like phones, ipads. Obey the rules of your local site
for this, which may be put phones in your bag, or leave them somewhere,
etc.
b) You can bring printed material - We largely obey the requirements
here - https://icpc.baylor.edu/regionals/rules
c) The scoreboard will freeze for the final hour, and the winner,
therefore will be revealed on the live youtube broadcast after the
contest (all going well).
d) if your solution times out, or hits memory limits, its because
theres a problem with your algorithm, not that the server doesnt have
enough processing power (for example).
4) Asking Questions - your local organisers are not organising the
problems and judging systems. You can ask them questions about where are
the toilets etc.
- To ask questions of us, you should use the Clarifications interface
on the judging server.
5) The contest will use DomJudge - if you want to explore what that is
like, you can do so on https://www.domjudge.org/demo . You can also read
https://domjudge.bath.ac.uk/docs for information about the languages and
help files that will be available during the contest.
6) The finalised available-language information for the contest
is C++14, C11, Java 8, Python 2 (PyPy), Python 3.
7) After the contest, results and information about the correct
solutions to problems should be broadcast, in some form, over the
youtube live broadcast, or locally at your site. In terms of time, you
should plan to be around the contest up until 5pm potentially, if you
want to see all those things.
Apart from this, good luck. And may the odds be ever in your favour.
best

Hi all
1) Late / Spare teams
- if you get a surprise team arriving - the easiest process is to give
them the username / password for one of the spare teams. Sometime later
during or after the contest you can then add these students into the
teams on the ICPC website, but you dont need to do this before the
contest before. If you run out of username/passwords, this is more of a
problem - you should communicate with us quickly in slack.
2) Live broadcast
- tomorrow morning, we will share with you a URL for the live youtube
broadcast. you should join this before 10:30am. The introduction will be
broadcast on this at ~10:40am.
- as a backup, you can download the introduction video and play it
locally, if needed.
- http://bit.ly/UKIEPC2018intro
3) Webcams
- tomorrow morning, I will send you information about how to join our
google live broadcast, via google hangouts on air, with a webcam, such
that we can share a view of your site from time to time over the live
broadcast. This is optional, and we can easily set this up while we
slowly watch teams compete for 5 hours. It *should* be easy.
- join the #livebroadcast channel in slack.
4) Usernames / Passwords
- the usernames / passwords sent out earlier today allow the teams to
login to the judging server on http://domjudge.bath.ac.uk - you should
give the correct one to each team. If you find that your spare teams
dont have one, please communicate with us on slack.
5) Slack - we now have a range of useful threads on slack
- #balloons for anyone doing balloons, feel free to leave that
channel if not
- #announcements - for announcements from the Jury
- #askjurysomething - to ask the jury something (but you shouldnt be
asking us questions on behalf of students. they should use the
Clarifications part of the system)
- #ineligable - spelt wrong - but for you to tell us about ineligible
teams
- #livebroadcast - to discuss how to get involved in that
6) End of contest - as a reminder, the scoreboard freezes for the final
hour, and we then plan to 'reveal the final rankings' in the traditional
ACM ICPC style, hopefully on the live broadcast, if its all going smoothly.
- we will then hopefully be broadcasting information about how the
problems could have been solved. This too might be a video you can
download and play, and ultimately, we'll provide this resource online
after the contest for students to look at.
- things should 'all be wrapped up' by ~5pm - hopefully you have
booked rooms until ~6pm anyway.
Finally, below is the email I am about to send to students, so you know
what they know. Any other questions, please ask in slack.

That's grand, I let them know they would need to find some team mates
before they could attend.
We will likely do assigned seating yeah. I'll sort out the layout later
today.
As for closing the lab - I'm not on campus today because I'm working, and I
am struggling to find other committee members free at that time whether
they be off campus or in lectures.
Would it be possible to put the machines in lockdown around 6-8 or so? I
could come in after work but I understand that might not be ideal for you
(I assume lockdown mode is a manual process?)

Subject: [ukiepc] UKIEPC Latest TODOs
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 09:11:05 +0100
From: UKIE PC <ukiepc(a)gmail.com>
Reply-To: for UKIEPC Site Organisers, current & potential
<ukiepc-organisers(a)cs.nott.ac.uk>
To: ukiepc-organisers(a)cs.nott.ac.uk <ukiepc-organisers(a)Cs.Nott.AC.UK>
HI all,
Thanks to everyone that has joined slack so far - this is proving a good
fast mode of communication about issues leading up to the contest.
Especially with the registration website going down, and extension to
registration etc.
Here's key updates for the next couple of days.
0) join the slack channel if you havent already (see previous email)
1) Deadline 12noon Friday - ACCEPT/CANCEL teams.
- the tech team need to import teams to the contest server friday
afternoon
- Please do final checks friday morning (you can prob do 95% today)
- and create 1-3 spare teams, if you havent already, using the big
Add Team button when viewing your site. You should put yourself as the
coach of these.
2) Contact contestants for your site
- you should send details to all of the people registered at your
site, about where exactly they should turn up, and when (before
10:30am). And what the process will be (as per previous email). This is
ideally for the specifics of your location, as I will be sending a
global email to registered participants on friday morning.
- theres a tab on your site page for 'Email', you can turn on the
Team Members toggle, and download.
- I would recommend you strongly encourage first-timers to try a few
problems on http://open.kattis.com too, if they havent already. First
basics steps (reading in, printing out) is a slow hurdle for many
first-timers, and they dont want time penalties (20mins for an incorrect
solution) for silly mistakes.
3) Especially external contestants if any
- if you have people travelling to your site for the contest from
other universities, you must communicate to them useful arrival
information, and whether they should bring anything like a laptop to
compete with (or if/how they will access your computers).
4) Answering Questions on the day (and DomJudge)
- During the contest, students should ask technical questions to us
(not you) using domjudge - using the clarifications section. So you
should only need to answer questions for your location like 'where are
the toilets' and 'its a bit warm in here'.
- BUT - there is a demo server for you to look at, if you want to,
prior to the contest. https://www.domjudge.org/demo - you can see an
example of the team user interface and what they'll have to do. how they
can ask questions through it, etc.
- you may find it interesting to look at http://ukiepc.info/2017/ to
see info on last year
- also http://bit.ly/ukiepc2017downloads - which has things like last
years introduction slides, and last years problems, and solutions, etc.
5) Responsible Site Host Persons only:
- Set aside time on friday afternoon for printing the problemset and
putting them in envelopes, and storing them in your office securely
until saturday morning.
More from me on Friday afternoon for final information.
- although feel free to ask Qs in slack.
