ICPC India Regionals Online Round 2019 - Updates

Best solution is to remove the Game of OR problem and adjust ranklist accordingly. Here is why:

Those teams who didn’t attempt because they found corner-case will be happy with it.
Those teams who got AC during contest, shouldn’t have got an AC then. And even if they knew that, there wasn’t any way they could’ve changed their solution to get it done since there exists none as of now. So it’s not unfair for them as well.

It’s just that few teams got undue advantage during contest by getting AC inspite of wrong solution and few are at disadvantage by not submitting anything. So scraping the problem is the right way to balance it out!

Codechef has already given the ranklist to the regionals. Most probably nothing will happen now. Let’s make peace with this fact.

where can I access the problem statements?

sshhhh · October 23, 2019, 8:49am

Not really. Read the post. Codechef has forwarded the ranklist alongwith the issues and concerns. Now it’s upto the regional directors to decide.

My rank was 1788 according to codechef ranklist…and 1 in my cllg,Is there any chance for selection for onsite round in amritapuri region?As the expected rank list for amritapuri shows it 279.

How about waiting until the results are out, why are people running analytics and making expected ranklists and all…

inou · October 23, 2019, 2:10pm

The same reason as you checked your JEE rank using different rank predictors!

i_64 · October 23, 2019, 2:10pm

Nope I didn’t
I already knew I’d screwed up
Jale pe namak lol

inou · October 23, 2019, 2:12pm

Many others are hopeful though! Just a small relief!

No, it isn’t the right way to balance it out obviously. I’ll copy paste CF comment here

ps: whether or not problem is discarded, our qualification remains unaffected.

pulkitb_01 · October 23, 2019, 4:16pm

What about the leading zeros statement written in question one? Is it fair to put wrong statements in the question.

aman_robotics · October 23, 2019, 4:21pm

As far as I can see from the ranklist, some teams in our college got penalties because of this and now the penalties are removed.

babangain · October 23, 2019, 5:14pm

Yes, I believe. Many applied for both Kanpur and Amrita. They can’t appear on both as it is very difficult to travel in short duration.
People who applied for Amrita would not get train tickets. So, they will not appear.
Pretty good chance I believe.

sshhhh · October 23, 2019, 8:40pm

That’s obviously their fault they spent the entire time behind a single problem and not look at those other 2 which they think they could’ve ACed.

Also coming up with a wrong solution is of no credit. Period.

codenameghost · October 24, 2019, 5:09am

Umm that’s why there are sample input output cases, did u see leading zeros in those? Or did u see the problem statement had written it somewhere that leading zeros are allowed?

ankur314 · October 24, 2019, 7:09am

They are providing compensation for penalties of a problem which was correct, and they did nothing for problem which was wrong

icpc19in0872 · October 24, 2019, 8:45am

Does anyone have any idea about Gwalior regionals selection criteria or when they are going to announce that based on last year observation?

mohit_badiyani · October 24, 2019, 11:19am

Guys… I didn’t participate in preliminary… For iit kgp… Onsite… Is there any chance for me to get selected…?
I solved 3 problem in online finals… And got rank 1 in my college…

ranjan1234 · October 24, 2019, 12:54pm

No , You will be selected only for those regions in which you have registered for onsite .
