BOSPRE 2003 GENERIC Schedule: Fri Oct 17 08:37:19 EDT 2003 [IMPORTANT: If you are a coach and want a catered box lunch, email bospre@deas.harvard.edu 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 Wellesley College and one for MIT. Check the web the day before the contest for updates.] 8:30 - 9:45am: checkin, get assigned rooms and termin- als, get hardcopies of handouts that are on the web, practice at your terminal using your contest account. (8:30am - 9am we will be setting up so expect delays in terminal access 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 off the web and were given in hardcopy when you checked in. 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. The team contest accounts and locations are: [Teams will be assigned to host sites 1-2 weeks before the contest.] [As both host sites are amost equal distance from everyone, there is little reason to assign any team to one site or the other. If any team is planning to come by train tell us and that team will be assigned to MIT. Teams from the West within driving distance will be assigned to Wellesley, teams that do not have to drive to get to MIT will be assigned to MIT, and otherwise team assignment will be random (if there are two teams from the same school they will go to the same site, of course). Tell us if you have a good transportation reason for preferring a particular site.] AT WELLESLEY COLLEGE: hc3-wc1 Boston College Eagles LocationTBD hc3-wc2 Fitchburg Falcons LocationTBD hc3-wc3 WPI Engineers 1 LocationTBD hc3-wc4 WNEC Team 2 LocationTBD hc3-wc5 Wellesley WACs LocationTBD hc3-wc6 WNEC Team 1 LocationTBD hc3-wc7 Providence Friars LocationTBD hc3-wc8 Stonehill Chieftains LocationTBD hc3-wc9 Wellesley Wackiers LocationTBD hc3-wc10 Stonehill Chieftains II LocationTBD hc3-wc11 WPI Engineers 2 LocationTBD hc3-wc12 Providence Friars 2 LocationTBD AT MIT: hc3-mit21 Brown CS LocationTBD hc3-mit22 Norwich Terminators LocationTBD hc3-mit23 Colby White Mules II LocationTBD hc3-mit24 Middlebury Blue LocationTBD hc3-mit25 Laval Rouge & Or LocationTBD hc3-mit26 UMaine LocationTBD hc3-mit27 Colby White Mules I LocationTBD
