IEEEXtreme is a SAC initiative for creating a worldwide programming contest for IEEE Student Branches. IEEEXtreme is a global worldwide student programming contest in which teams of student members, supported by a Student Branch, advised and proctored by an IEEE Member, compete in a 24-hour time span to solve a set of programming problems. The 2008 will be held on 8 March 2008.

• The challenge starts at 00:01 GMT on Friday, 8 March 2008, and finishes at 00:01 GMT on Sunday, 10 march 2008


• Teams will include up to 3 IEEE student members - Student members (StM) or Graduate Student members (GSM). Must be IEEE members to participate on the team.


• Student Branches will host the event for their local team, with easier access to university facilities, branch promotion and awareness building on campus


• Each of the places where the competition is hosted (ranging from Student Branch offices to college labs) is called a Venue


• Each Venue should be equipped with at least one computer and some kind of connection to the Internet

• Each of these Venues should have a Proctor, who should be an IEEE Member of higher membership grade (not an undergraduate student member)


• Student Branch Counsellors, Department Chairs or GOLD members will make great Proctors; you may want to have two, so one can take a break, as it is a 24 hour challenge


• Proctor tasks include:
  
  • Receive problems and provide them to students
  
  
  • Monitor the general flow of the activity
  
  
  • Inform students when the competition begins, at the middle of it, when there are 6 hours left and when there is 1 hour left
  
  
  • Collect the solutions to each of the problems and keep a record of the timing


• Proctor should NOT:
  
  • Let himself or anybody external to the team members help the students in resolving the problems in any way
  
  
  • The problems will be proposed and judged by the Judging Committee, a panel of experts from both Academia and Industry
  
  
  • Preferably IEEE members
  
  
  • A SAC Contest Committee formed by IEEE volunteers will take care of the management part of the contest (such as enrollment or problem submission

• Teams should submit their problem solutions electronically using a contest management page (which will be provided https://ieeextreme.org)


• Each submission gets a time stamp (extra points awarded for early submission)


• Languages supported are: C/C++ (using gcc), Java (using Sun’s JDK) and C# (using Mono)
  
  

• Both the members of the winning teams and their Student Branches will receive IEEE certificates and really great prizes to recognize their efforts.


• All participants will receive a certificate of participation and a big "thank you" for helping us make the IEEE more fun!
