digital_run_20061031  Development Cup Series
Overview

Each component posted for a development competition will carry a point value of 500 placement points. Placement points will be awarded based on the number of submissions that pass review, as follows:

    # of Submissions that Pass Review
Placement
Points
Place 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
1st 500 325 270 250 245 240 235
2nd   175 150 145 135 130 130
3rd     80 75 75 75 75
4th       30 30 30 30
5th         15 15 15
6th           10 10
7th             5


If more than seven (7) submissions pass review, the competitors who place in 8th position or below will not receive any placement points.

A maximum of 20 placement points may be deducted for bugs or late final fixes. One placement point will be deducted for every four (4) hours a final fix is late. On a case-by-case basis as determined by TopCoder staff, additional placement points may be deducted for bugs found in components within 30 days of completion.
