Overview
Each challenge posted in Component Development, Assembly, Test Suites, UI Prototypes, and RIA Builds will carry a point value. Placement points will be awarded based on the number of submissions that pass review, as follows:
| Percentage of Placement Points | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| # of Submissions that Pass Review | |||||||
| Place | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | ||
| 1st | 100% | 70% | 65% | 60% | 56% | ||
| 2nd | 30% | 25% | 22% | 20% | |||
| 3rd | 10% | 10% | 10% | ||||
| 4th | 8% | 8% | |||||
| 5th | 6% | ||||||
If more than five (5) submissions pass review, the competitors who place in 6th 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 submissions within 30 days of completion.
