Algorithm Submission

The deadline for teams to submit their algorithms to their sponsor is March 10th, 2023. Sponsors: Evaluated submissions can be sent to Rick Spellerberg at rickspellberg@yahoo.com by March 21, 2023.

Algorithm Submission

1. On March 15th, 2024 before the tournament field is announced, sponsors will collect all the algorithms submitted.

2. Once the tournament field is announced Sunday March 17, 2024, the 2024 Excel spreadsheet will be constructed and made available to the sponsors as soon as possible.

3. Once in their possession, the sponsors make the 2024 Excel spreadsheet available to their student teams so they can evaluate their algorithms and determine their team lists for eventual submission.

4. For accuracy purposes, sponsors can either check themselves or have teams exchange their algorithms to check for accuracy.  We advise having teams exchange their algorithms as a component of the learning experience. 

5. Once checked, the sponsors collect all algorithm submissions and submit them electronically to the competition founder and coordinator Rick Spellerberg at rickspellerberg@yahoo.com.

6. Sponsors will be provided team scoring updates several times during the competition to let their teams know where they stand as well at the end of the competition. 

7. This competition is run on the Honor System to reduce operational costs in the hopes of never having to require a registration fee.  All questions that come up during the competition can be directed to Rick Spellerberg at any time.
