2007.5 Development Cup Series

Overview

Each component posted for a development competition will carry a point value - equivalent to the prize money for the component - in 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	100%	65%	54%	50%	49%	48%	47%
	2nd		35%	30%	29%	27%	26%	26%
	3rd			16%	15%	15%	15%	15%
	4th				6%	6%	6%	6%
	5th					3%	3%	3%
	6th						2%	2%
	7th							1%

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

Up to 100% of placement points may be deducted for bugs or late final fixes. 20% of placement point will be deducted for every (24) hours a final fix or component forum issue 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.
