Conducting a contest.
By phantom11, 13 years ago, In English
Hello everyone..I have to conduct a programming contest in my school and I want to make it as good as possible.So I am thinking of organizing it like Codeforces does.But I dont know how does a system work when it is given a solution.i.e. how are test cases checked by the main computer and how does it update scores instantly and also gives the participant the verdict instantly
So I need some help on this..Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.
Note:Its a JAVA programming contest.

What about using site's with online judges with acm-server? Or you have your own problem set, created by yourself ?

      So you need full judge system like ejudge,dudge, contester .

      Contest's conducting is very hard work. Try to look at existed judge systems. Some of them are very complex for configuration. Try to install some of them and understand they behavior. May be after that you will refuse from your intention or may be design your own judge system ;-)

      Good luck!

There are ready systems for preparing and conducting of contests - for example, http://www.contester.ru/ (I don't know if this system has English interface, but you can find something like).
