## Selection
|
||||
|
||||
(Mostly) based on:

||||
<resources>
|
||||

Factors include (but are not limited to):
|
||||
|
||||
- results of monthly platinum contests
|
||||
- US Open is given more weight
|
||||
- may take into account if you weren't able to participate in one (or more?) platinum contests assuming that you were participating in a lower division at that time
|
||||
- grade level (lower is better)
|
||||
- grade level (lower is generally better)
|
||||
- past camp qualification
|
||||
- sample cases
|
||||
- if you submit all of them ~~then your total score might increase by half a problem across the whole season!~~
|
||||
- "improvement"
|
||||
- increasing >> decreasing score sequence!
|
||||
|
||||
For Guernsey, averaging one problem per contest won't suffice but one problem plus some partial credit (probably?) will.
|
||||
Campers generally average at least one problem and some partial credit per contest (where "some" varies a lot).
