Hi James,
I'm one of the organizers of UKIEPC in DCU this year. We are currently
unable to accept your team due to missing registration information. Could
you please ensure you have everything filled out down to the bank
information (it is not necessary) for all your team members?
Please let me know when you have completed the registration forms and we
will try to accept your team again.
Regards,
Lucas Savva
Redbrick Committee - UKIEPC Organizer

Hi all,
So far, we have 52 teams ACCEPTed or PENDING - which we expect to grow. We
are currently 16 sites, with a 17th pending. There are still a number of
sites that do not have any teams registered. Other sites have teams from
more than one university.
TODOs right now are
1) advertise to the student groups that you hope will attend - letting them
know that the 17th October is the registration deadline (!)
2) make sure you have booked anything you need (based on previous email)
3) ACCEPT teams that you are happy with.
More from me next week about setting up communication channels etc for the
event.

Folks,
The School of Computing, DCU, will once again be sole Irish host site
for the UK & Ireland Intercollegiate Programming Competition on
*Saturday 20th October* from *11am-4pm*.
The UKIEPC is a practice competition for the ACM International
Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) where teams of undergraduates have
5 hours to solve a set of ten programming problems. The same problemset
is used at all sites and has both very easy and very difficult problems.
The competition takes place online with separate score tables for Irish
universities and the UK universities.
Please mention it to your students, as not only is it a fun get
together, but also a good test of their programming skills and
computational thinking.
Thankfully Redbrick have offered to the heavy lifting of the organising
this year.
*Registration closes Wednesday 17th October.*
For more information about the competition please the main UKIEPC
competition page:

Regards,
Gary

-------- Forwarded Message --------
Subject: [ukiepc] UKIEPC Update + TODOs
Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2018 16:12:15 +0900
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,
Good news everyone, we are now covering all 5 countries in the UK &
Ireland. and Registration is open. Some teams have begun to register,
and now that the new ICPC website is looking a bit more stable (still
with some problems), there are some TODOs for ACCEPTing teams.
1) ACCEPT/REJECT teams
Right now, the main task is to manage your teams at your site. The new
website has finally allowed me to add you as managers of your site. So
you should now be able to log in to icpc.baylor.edu
<http://icpc.baylor.edu> - and on your desktop, you should be able to
see your site in your 'dashboard', and if you go there, and view teams.
you will see a list of teams that have registered.
It is up to you to ACCEPT teams (green tick), based on your
limits/rules. Dont accept teams from other universities if you dont want
to. You should 'prefer' to accept eligable teams, by the eligability
rules - although this feature in the new website is not working
correctly yet. You may know for your own students. Here is a decision tree
-
https://icpc.baylor.edu/regionals/rules/EligibilityDecisionTree-2018.pdf
Also - you may wish to 'prefer' complete teams of 3 people.
It is acceptable to have ineligable teams, and teams with less than 3 -
but you may wish to prefer full eligable teams if you have limits.
You may reject teams with the red cross - to status CANCELLED
You may leave teams as PENDING with the blue question mark
2) Preparing for 20th Oct
Things you should do are
a) book a room 9am-6pm
b) consider HOW you will let external teams use your computers, if you
plan to do this
c) book food before/after the contest if you plan to do this (optional)
d) arrange prizes for your site, if you plan to do this (optional)
e) purchase balloons, if you plan to do this (optional)
- https://www.quora.com/Why-is-there-a-balloon-in-ACM
- many sites give out balloons for each problem solved. we hang these
from the ceiling in nottingham. Some sites colourcode this per problem
(we DONT bother to do this in nottingham). Its a kind of tradition.
There is no need to plan how to block the internet - we will trust you
to trust/check your teams for not cheating with internet search. They
will need internet to submit solutions to the server.
3) On the day
I will send more information nearer the time, but reminder of the process
a) we will send the 'responsible site host' a PDF of the problems to
print and keep secret until the start of the contest - to give out at
11am start
b) the site manager (may be different to responsible site host) present
on the day will have to communicate with us, on platform TBC (last year
google hangouts)
c) you can optionally have a webcam broadcast on our live broadcast from
your site. This is a bit fun, we manage the broadcast for doing this.
c) you should get teams sat and ready, logged in, at 10:30am, ready for
a broadcast presentation from us.
d) contest will be 11-4pm (with no breaks). you may wish to allow the
students to 'print their code' if they want.
e) after the contest, we will have some mechanism for revealing the
winners and explaining the problems, TBC.

Hi Lucas,
Got that update. I have created an email alias on my system called
ukiepc(a)computing.dcu.ie which forwards to myself and
ukiepc(a)lists.redbrick.dcu.ie. We'll use it as the site contact address.
I'll dump some stuff in a folder and share with you.

Yes. last year, they ran a practice competition on the Wednesday
(evening?) which is a perfect time for us test restrictions in the lab -
my 'exam-mode'.

Once I have confirmation from contest directory, DCU will appear as an
available site when students go to register.

I will send out an email to Computing staff and the Dean that contest is
ON and here is the link to the 'Ireland' scoreboard.

Something, I will set up on the day with one of the laptops here. Just a
hangouts stream.
