Scores for the first two contests hosted on Fudge are in! Points are going to be calculated differently, based on what kind of contest they refer to: test case scoring vs. problem scoring.

If scoring is on a test case basis, you may get some points for partially solving a problem. You will get more points for passing individual test cases that have a low acceptance ratio. You will get penalized for everytime you fail a particular test case.

If scoring is on a per problem basis, you will get points for solving a problem entirely. You will get more points if you are the fastest to submit a valid solution, and if you do so with a high success ratio. Every time you submit a wrong solution for a problem, and every time somebody else submits a valid solution to that problem, your chances of gaining more points go down.

Furthermore, contests were judging takes place at the end, as opposed to immediately, will yield about twice as many points.

Once the contests are over, the problems will be added to the Archive. If you were a participant in the contest, you will not get any points for solving contest problems. On the other hand, if you were not signed up for the contest, these problems are treated as normal archived problems. However, you will not be able to view the source code and test cases until the problems grow old.
