Problems

In contests held on Eolymp, participants solve a series of problems. These problems are configured separately and stored in the space's problem archive. Once a problem is created, it can be added to a contest. Most problem settings are managed within the problem itself, but a few options can be configured when the problem is added to a contest.

Before you can add problems to a contest, you'll need to create them or import them from other sources.

How to Add Problems to a Contest

To add problems to your contest, follow these steps:

1. Open the console and select the space you want to configure.

2. Click on the Contests section in the left-hand menu and choose a contest.

In the form, you'll need to fill out the following details:

• Index: Defines the order of the problem in the list. A lower value places the problem higher in the list.

• Problem selection: Choose a problem from the archive by selecting the space and problem number you want to use.

• Submission limit: Set the maximum number of submission attempts a participant can make. This is optional and applies to all submissions, including invalid ones.

• Scoring mode: Choose how the score is calculated:

  • "Score problem using best submission": The problem score is determined by the highest score from all submissions.

  • "Score problem using best score for each testset separately": The score is calculated independently for each test set, with the total score being the sum of the best scores from each test set.
