The set of problems was considered to be difficult enough according to the contest’s level.

 

The client computers the contest was run on were IBM-PCs, with similar configurations for the two sites, interconnected through a network and running Linux Ubuntu 12.04.

The system's architecture also included two servers, one in each site, with similar configuration and better performance than the client computers.

The evaluation of the results and the scoring were based on ejudge.

The 83 teams totalled more than 300 students, coaches, reserves and guests. There were more than 20 staff members and more than 50 volunteers who contributed to the organization and run of the contest.

 

The first three teams in Bucharest site received prizes sent by IBM Romania.

Also the judges and contest management team received presents from IBM.

Participation in the contest was free of charge.

Also, the buffets, the banquet, and the tour of Bucharest City were free of charge for the teams.

Upon registration, each participant received a contest folder containing: a contest badge, a set of the contest rules, a contestant's guide for ejudge, a timetable and a T-Shirt. During the Award Ceremony, Certificates of Participation or Recognition were given to all participants and volunteers. Everybody was very excited upon receiving the certificates, especially the volunteers, thus proving that the ACM idea of offering certificates was highly appreciated.

Before the Opening Ceremony, IBM Romania organized a press conference attended by more than 15 journalists from the Romanian mass-media. Many press releases were issued, both before and after the contest. Several newspapers published announcements or presentations of the event. National Romanian Broadcast companies transmitted information about the contest in their main news program.
