FAQ

Is there a way to practice before the Competition Round?
Once you've registered for the DCCC, you may use your username and password to log into the competition arena. Within the arena there is a practice area that mimics the functionality of the real competition. Nothing that you do in the practice room will count against you.

What resources can I use to help me?
You may utilize any reference materials, including those found on the Internet. You may not collaborate with any other person.

Can I use code that has already been written as a part of my solution?
Only code that has been authored by you may be used in a code submission. No third-party source code may be used as a part of any code submission.

I've submitted a solution for a problem, but the time has not run out. Can I submit again?
Yes, you may resubmit. However, remember that resubmitting carries a penalty. Your score for that submission will be adjusted to account for the additional lapsed time since your last submission, as well as an additional penalty of 10% of the maximum point value for the problem.
