The Tournament
In 90 minutes, participants will compete against other students of the same grade level to solve (twenty-five or thirty coding problems) written by the DHS Coding Club. Problems range from Easy to Hard; there are more Easy and Medium problems than Hard problems. The tournament is intended to be a fun experience for students to flex their coding skills that they have developed over the past few months.

Problem Set Format
Problems: There are a total of 25 - 30 problems. Each problem is classified as an Easy, Medium or Hard problem. Most problems are Easy and Medium problems.
Language: Any language available on Hackerrank is allowed.
Points: Easy problems are worth 2 points. Medium problems are worth 4 points. Hard problems are worth 10 points. You may receive half credit if the code you submit is not entirely correct, but close to the solution.
Submitting: Your code does not have to match our solution exactly. As long as your code completes the given task, you will be awarded full credit. However, the code must be written in a neat format. For example, if your code contained 1,000 character long variable names, you might lose points. All in all, think well before you code.

Scoring: Our club members will grade the submitted codes and rank the students based on their grade levels.
