The competition consists of a set of [[algorithm|algorithmic]] problems which must be solved in a fixed amount of time. For each problem two input data sets (''easy'' and ''hard'') are published, and competitors are asked to compute the correct output data for given data sets. Usually, this involves writing a computer program in some [[programming language]], but producing the output by hand or in any other way is also acceptable.

Teams are ranked by the number of points received. Each team received 1 point for solving each easy data set, and 2 points for each hard data sets. TiesUpon aresolving brokena byproblem, totalthe time taken since the beginning of the contest is added to solvethe time penalty, plus penalties for prior incorrect submissions of the problemsproblem; in case of a tie, teams are ranked with time penalty, with lesser time consumed ranking higher.
