We have updated the information about the contest environment.
因應 ICPC Asia Pacific Rule 明文規定國內隊伍需透過預賽晉級之變革，2024 ICPC Taichung Regional Contest 修訂隊伍選拔規則，大多數的參賽隊伍將依據「ICPC Taiwan Online Programming Contest」提出的隊伍優先序錄取。
ICPC Taiwan Online Programming Contest 隊伍優先序：
備註：各類優先錄取名單如無法在 ICPC 區賽 35 天前取得，則該年度暫停適用。
基本資格規範 Basic Eligibility Rules
請參照 ICPC 官方規範(連結) 中關於 Basic Eligibility Requirement 一節。
The eligibility rules are contained in the official regional
rules on the ICPC website. See “Basic Eligibility Requirement” section.
隊伍組成 Team Composition
每隊由一名教練、三名參賽隊員、至多一名候補隊員組成。
教練為參賽學校之教職員，並獲學校授權，必須負責證實參賽隊員資格，
並負責與主辦方聯繫。參賽隊員與候補隊員需要滿足 ICPC 官方規範，
不可擔任教練。
Each team must have a coach, three contestants and at most one reserved
team member. The coach must be authorized to represent the school.
The coach certifies the eligibilities of the contestants and
is the official point-of-contact. All contestants and reserved team
member must satisfy the ICPC official rules. None of them may serve as a coach.
參賽者應尊重對手，遵守規則，爭取個人、隊伍、學校的榮耀，維護社群的名譽。
Contestants shall respect their opponents. Contestants shall abide the rules.
Contestants shall compete for the honor of themselves, of their teams,
and of their schools. Contestants shall not compromise the reputation of
the society of competitive programming.
賽前教練需上傳表格保證該隊伍遵照規則進行比賽。
如違反下列規則，將導致參賽者失去參賽資格。
The coach has to submit a form to declare that the team abides by the rules
during the contest. Contestants will be disqualified if they violate the
following rules.
計分與排名 Scoring & Ranking
隊伍以解題數量多者排名較前，解題數量相同時，以總消耗時間少者排名較前。
答對的題目的消耗時間計算方式為比賽開始至解出題目所消耗的分鐘數。
如解出前有答錯，除編譯錯誤之外，每答錯一次需要另加 20 分鐘。
總消耗時間為所有答對題目的消耗時間加總。未答對的題目不計消耗時間。
Teams are ranked according to the most problems solved.
Teams who solve the same number of problems are ranked by least total time.
The total time is the sum of the time consumed for each problem solved.
The time consumed for a solved problem is the time elapsed from the beginning
of the contest to the submittal of the accepted run plus 20 penalty minutes
for every rejected run for that problem that was not rejected due to Compilation Error.
There is no time consumed for a problem that is not solved.
平手判定 Tie-Breaker
解題數與消耗時間均相同時，以先答對最後一題者獲勝。
If multiple teams have the same number of problems solved and total time,
then the winner goes to the team which first submitted their last accepted
solution.
