BOSPRE 2002 GENERIC Schedule: Sun Oct 6 06:00:08 EDT 2002 [IMPORTANT: If you are a coach and want a catered box lunch, email bospre@deas.harvard.edu immediately saying how many COACHES lunches you want (teams each get 3 for team members automatically).] [There will be two separate and MORE SPECIFIC copies of this schedule in the end, both posted on the web and handed out at checkin: one for Providence College and one for Boston College. Check the web the day before the contest for updates.] 8:30 - 9:45am: checkin, get assigned rooms and terminals, practice at your terminal using your contest account. (8:30am - 9am we will be setting up so expect delays if you are this early.) 9:45am - 10:00am: VERY short meeting in RoomTBD solely to introduce the people running the contest and answer questions. In theory, everything you really need to know will be in the handouts which you have read. The meeting will end at 10:00am SHARP with problems being handed out, after which teams will go to their terminals. 10:00am - 3:00pm the contest proper. After the contest starts, the contestants can run hpcm_get to set up their problem directories. about noon: catered lunch for the contestants. Please eat OUTSIDE the computer labs. Coaches will NOT be included by default: if a coach wants a box lunch, email bospre@deas.harvard.edu immediately. 3:30pm - 4:00pm final meeting to announce winners in RoomTBD DO NOT eat in the computer labs. The food in the LocationTBD is for you guys: eat, drink, and work hard. You can eat in the halls if you must. Teams may use RoomTBD or RoomTBD to hold meetings or as a quiet work area. The judge can be seen in RoomTBD. We will put a scoreboard up in PlaceTBD.
