Prize Structure for Snackdown Announced

Posted by The Chef on November 18th, 2009 Filed in Prizes

Strawberry Shortcakes,
We’re pleased to announce the prize structure for the Snackdown. The online round (taking place this Saturday from 7pm-12am) will act as a qualifier for the finals, where the top five teams will battle it out in-person at the DirectiPlex in Mumbai on January 10th.

The top twenty teams will be receiving prizes according to the following schedule:

1. 82,500
2. 49,800
3. 30,450
4. 23,700
5. 20,400
6. 17,400
7. 14,100
8. 11,100
9. 7,800
10. 6,000 5,000
11-13. 4,500
14-16. 3,750
17-20. 3,000

Payouts for the top five teams will be determined by their rankings in the finals. Payments to teams 6-20 will be made after the online round.

Please note that while anyone can participate in the competition, only teams of students from the same Indian University will be eligible for the finals and prize money. Additionally, prizes above Rs. 5,000 will be taxed at 30%.

We are planning another contest with prizes available for international participants and professionals. More details on this will be coming in the next few weeks. Best of luck!

Cheers,
Amit

    Something is seriously wrong with this website. I am logging in using my team id (Arkitects) and password and am being taken to another teams profile. This is the mother of all security breach.
    @ admin Do something immediately.. contest is just minutes away.

    it's really serious matter.

    unlike ACM-ICPC rules,for online contest is it compulsory for a team to use only one computer or they can use multiple computers for the contest.
  • CodeChef
    teams can use multiple computers...

    Wow..!! Very good prizes for Top-20.
    I am so excited to participate contest.
    But
    I prefer 11-13th rank in the option of 10th for the prize money
    ( if i include tax of 30% ) :P
  • Name
    ya a good one

    10th prize is 4200 (6000 with 30%)
    11-13th 4500
  • ramthegreatcv
    is it true?
    but in IncomeTax only the excess amount is charged right?
    so may be the wont tax he first 5000.put 30% on the 1000.making the total as 5700
    if this isn't the case we must revise this prize structure
