Hi Lucas,
I'll check back with the contest directory that he is using ukiepc@computing.dcu.ie as the contact email for site organisers. This goes to me and ukiepc@lists.redbrick.dcu.ie
I'll handle accepting / rejecting teams on the ICPC registration system. I'll send you regular reports of which teams need to be chased to complete registration or if they are attending etc.

Hi Gary,
This message was received, but we didn't seem to get the message you are forwarding on Saturday.
I'll have a look on my end to make sure the mailing list is correct, although I can't think of any reason your emails would reach us and not theirs.
Do we have credentials for this site management page, or will you be handling the accept/reject of teams? (If I remember correctly you want me to help chase up teams?)
We will be sending out an email tomorrow morning about the event and will let other netsocs know it is happening.

Lads, you are now receiving these emails right? -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [ukiepc] UKIEPC Update + TODOs Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2018 16:12:15 +0900 From: UKIE PC <ukiepc@gmail.com> <mailto:ukiepc@gmail.com> Reply-To: for UKIEPC Site Organisers, current & potential <ukiepc-organisers@cs.nott.ac.uk> <mailto:ukiepc-organisers@cs.nott.ac.uk> To: ukiepc-organisers@cs.nott.ac.uk <mailto:ukiepc-organisers@cs.nott.ac.uk> <ukiepc-organisers@Cs.Nott.AC.UK> <mailto:ukiepc-organisers@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. best Max This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
