Bij de kwalificatie ronde kan je ook overdag kijken. Alle rondes daarna gaat de tijd wel tellen (je hebt dan ook maar 2,5 uur en dan sluit de ronde weer)!
What are the rounds?
We run different tournaments on the Google Code Jam website, with different round structures. Here is how the round structure works in Google Code Jam 2012:
Qualification Round: The Qualification Round is the first round, and lasts 25 hours. You don't have to be ready to compete at the start of the Qualification Round; it's 25 hours long so that people around the world can compete at a time that's convenient for them. We recommend setting aside up to 2 hours out of the 25 to compete, though of course you can spend as much or as little time as you like within 25-hour period. Any contestant who earns a fixed number of points, which will be displayed on the contest scoreboard, will advance from the Qualification Round and be eligible for the First Rounds.
First Rounds: There are three first rounds: Round 1A, Round 1B and Round 1C. Each lasts for two hours, thirty minutes. You can compete in all three of the first rounds if you want to, or in any one or two of them; but as soon as you place in the top 1000 of a first round, you have qualified for Round 2 and you will not be allowed to compete in later first rounds.
Round 2: The 3000 contestants who advanced from the first rounds compete in this round. It lasts two hours, thirty minutes. The top 1000 contestants win shirts, and the top 500 contestants advance to Round 3.
Round 3: The 500 contestants who advanced from Round 2 compete in this round. It lasts two hours, thirty minutes. The top 25 contestants advance to the Onsite Finals. If any of those contestants are unable to attend the Onsite Finals for any of the reasons listed in the Terms, Google may advance contestants ranked below 25th place to replace them.
Onsite Finals: The top 25 contestants in the world travel to a Google office and compete for the grand prize, and the title of Code Jam Champion!
