To choose the participants of the Benelux Algorithm Programming Contest, a university can choose to organise a preliminary round, to make a selection of all registered participants. This page will describe what steps are involved in setting up a preliminary round.

Planning

To make sure you are well prepared for the preliminary programming contest, it is important to start early. The preliminary rounds are usually scheduled around the start of October, so it is usually a good idea to start making preparations right after the summer break. A brief example of a planning is as follows:

  • Four weeks in advance: start preparations;
  • Two weeks in advance: location is arranged;
  • One week in advance: judge systems ready.

The programming assignments for the preliminary are sent by the jury and will arrive roughly one or two weeks before the contest itself to allow for enough time to prepare the judge system. Make sure the assignments are already present in the system a few days in advance, so problems with the judge systems can be discovered in an early stage, allowing for more time to solve them.


The most important things that should be prepared are the location and the judge system. Both are described in detail below.
