Prize Winners

We have several medal awards and the Champion award for on-site participants.

  • For the on-site participants of each division, there will be two First Prize winners, up to five Second Prize winners, and up to ten Third Prize winners (the specific numbers will depend on the number of participants and will be announced before the contest).
  • All top 50% participants will receive Honorable Mention if they are not Prize winners.
  • For any division, if the total on-site participants is no more than 10, then the medal award score cutoffs will be decided by the rank among all on-site and online participants.
  • The top 1 on-site participant of each division will get the Champion.
  • If the Champion of the undergraduate or graduate division is not a UCR student, the top 1 on-site participant from UCR in these two divisions will also receive the UCR Champion Award.

For all online participants, if they achieve the cutoff scores of the medal awards or honorably mentioned, they can also receive electronic versions of the corresponding certificates.

For Champions, if for a certain division, multiple students achieve full marks, the champion will be the one who finished the fastest. Otherwise all students with the highest score will all receive Champions.

Fastest Solver

  • There is a Fastest Solver award for each problem (among all divisions), which is awarded to the first participant who gets the full mark in the problem (i.e., passing all the tests).
  • If no one get an accept in that problem, the award will be granted to one of the participants with the highest score in that problem, who was the first to achieve that score.
  • If the fastest solver is an online participant, this participant and the fastest solver on-site will both get the award.

Best Female Participant

  • For each division, the top 1 female participant will get the Best Female Participant award.
  • If the best female participant is an online participant, then this participant and the best on-site female participant will both receive the award.
  • The top 3 on-site female participants among all divisions will also receive Honorable Mention if they are not the best female participant of any particular division.

Best Freshman Participant

  • The top 1 freshman participant (first-year college student) will get to the Best Freshman Participant award.
  • If the best freshman participant is an online participant, then this participant and the best on-site freshman participant will both receive the award.
  • The on-site freshman participants in the 2nd or 3rd place will also receive Honorable Mention.
