Baltie contest platform
  • Enrollment for school
    School is enrolled to the contest when teacher enrolls his/her school in the "Contest venues" in the top folder menu and then click on "+" button to add his/her school into the contest.
  • Enrollment for student
    Student can be onlz enrolled by a teacher. First the teacher logs in on the contest server (with the login to his/her SGP account), in the left menu he/she chooses contest Baltie - the lovest round, then click on the top folder menu the "Commisiion,Groups,Contestants,Protocol", set the contest time and verification code fot the group and and enrolls students.
    Note: Every student has to own the SGP Account. This account creates teacher in his/her SGP Account.
  • Contest groups
    For optimal usage of computers in the contest place the organizer separates the students to groups (according to number of computers) and for each group he enters: name of group, contest time (date and time from - to, when this group will compete) and verification code for the group Thanks to the possibility to define individual contest groups the contest place can have several times bigger capacity.
  • Tasks
    More tasks are solved, typically between 5 and 10.
    Have a look at the form of writing source code... and The List of forbinden commands (icons)....
  • Evaluation
    Every contest solution is evaluated by the contest server Baltie.NET.
    During the contest there are displaying formal errors and errors in the program (S,G,T).
    The overall ranking depends on the total weight and the weighted average ranking in correctly solved tasks. In the event of a match, the competitor who has solved the more complex task is better evaluated.
    Sending unfinished or empty programs is unnecessary because it does not affect the order.
    Detailed description of individual criteria, correct program form and list of forbidden commands are described in detail in the contest Junior (in task n. 0 and in the instructions).
  • Priority of criteria
    Criteria for each task are evaluated in this succession:
    1. Errors in scene(s)
    2. Errors ini picture(s)-graphics
    3. Errors in text file(s)
    4. Number of commands (command icons)
    5. Number of uploads
  • Contest time
    Date and time when contestants can see their submission and upload their programs to the server.
    Contest time is determined by school organizer for every contest group (folder "Commission,Groups,Contestants,Protocol").
    Note 1: In the case of need (technical problems etc.) organizer of the contest place can move the end of contest time by the technical delay during contest duration time for the group, so the group can finish its work and upload files to the server.
    Note 2: If a student couldn't upload files to the server till the end of the contest time of group because of different reasons (even with the help of supervisor), the contest place organizer can do it instead of the student after the end of the contest time. Organizer logs in, selects enrolled student, then chooses "Manage Tasks" and sends the job.
  • Supervisor
    Supervisor in computer classroom ensures that contestants during the task solving don't communicate with anybody else by no means, don't take copies of submissions etc.
  • Verification code for contest group
    Students from the contest group can display submissions and upload files to the server only after entering this code. It ensures that nobody else can login to the contestant account and made the tasks instead of him. Supervisor must ensure that this verification code doesn't leave the room (by handphones, ICQ, Skype, email etc.).
    Verification code for contest group can be changed by supervisor whenever a how many times he wants. For example if he has suspicion that anyone sent the code out of contest room or only for precaution. He tells pupils verification code when they are sitting in front of their computers - he can write it on the blackboard, for example.
  • Starting contest for a student
    The student selects contest Baltie and relevant round in the left menu, logs in with his UID and password. Then the team data appears and he enters the verification code for his contest group. Only after entering the code the tasks are displayed and student can upload his program on to server until the end of the Contest time. Students can always see the time remaining until the end of the competition.
  • IP addresses checking
    Contest server does not allow (except home round) working from a different IP address than the public IP address of the Contest place (which is set by the organizer in the "Contest venues" forlder).
  • Access to the internet (it is obligatory form regional round and above)
    We recommend to forbid everything (web, email, Skype, ICQ etc.) with exception of the contest server SGP - allow only https://www.baltie.net or https://baltie.net. In the case of unclarity, please contact your administrator.
