Welcome to "Switcheroo", where coding collaboration meets an exciting twist! At predetermined points in the challenge, teammates must swap workstations, taking over each other's code-in-progress. It's a test of not only your coding prowess but also your adaptability and teamwork.

Here's how it works: team members will be asked to switch positions at regular intervals of time while keeping their laptops in the same place. Each laptop is assigned a specific coding problem, and the team member on that laptop must solve the assigned problem. The team that successfully solves the maximum number of problems emerges as the winner.

General Information

● Event Name: Switcheroo

● Organized By: Coding Club NISER

● Event Type: Group Coding Competition (Team of 2)

● Competition Duration: 1.5 Hours

Eligibility

● Each team must consist of exactly two members.

● Participants should be current students of NISER.

Event Structure

1. Check-In:

● Teams must arrive at the venue at least 30 minutes before the start of the competition.

● Upon arrival, teams will check-in, confirm their registration, collect any necessary materials, and set up their workstations.

● Teams will be assigned specific workstations and are expected to complete setup within the designated time.

2. Competition Format:

● Coding Challenge:

● The competition will consist of multiple coding problems of varying difficulty.

● Teams will begin solving the problems simultaneously, with the challenge being continuous until the end of the competition.

● Switches:

● At multiple predetermined intervals during the event, an announcement will be made for teams to switch workstations.

● Teams must immediately stop their work and move to their partner's workstation to continue from where their partner left off.

● The number of switches and their timing will not be disclosed in advance, adding an element of surprise and testing adaptability.

● Submission:

● Solutions to the problems must be submitted as they are completed.

● You will get five tries to get the solution correct. After five incorrect submissions, the question will become inactive, and you won't be able to answer it.

● The team that solves the most problems correctly by the end of the competition wins.

3. Judging and Scoring:

● Primary Criteria:

● The main criterion for judging will be the number of problems each team solves.

● Each correctly solved problem will contribute to the team's overall score.

● Tie-Breaker:

● A tie-breaker round will be conducted in the event of a tie (i.e., two or more teams solving the same number of problems).

● During the tie-breaker, the time of submission for the problem with the highest weightage will be considered. The team that submitted the highest-weighted problem at the earliest will win the tie-breaker.

4. Tie-Breaker Rounds:

● If a tie persists after considering the problem-solving time, additional tie-breaker rounds with new problems will be conducted until a clear winner is determined.

Competition Rules

1. Team Composition:

● Each team must consist of two members.

● No substitutions or changes in team composition are allowed after the competition begins.

2. Conduct During the Event:

The moderators will report any workarounds. Their decisions must be adhered to during the competition.

● No Sharing: Teams are not allowed to share their challenges, solutions, or any coding strategies with other teams.

3. Cheating and Misconduct:

● Any form of cheating, including plagiarism, unauthorized communication, or any other unfair means, will result in immediate disqualification.

● Misconduct, including disruptive behavior or tampering with other teams' workstations, will also lead to disqualification.

4. Equipment:

● Teams are responsible for bringing their own laptops and any necessary cables or adapters.

● While power will be provided, teams should come prepared with backup power solutions in case of any unforeseen issues.

5. Switch Phase:

● When the switch is announced, teams must immediately stop coding and switch workstations within the given time.

● Failure to comply with the switch will result in penalties.

6. Personal Responsibility:

● Participants are responsible for their own food, drinks, and other personal necessities during the event.

● Teams should ensure that they do not leave their workstations unattended.
