PC² Contest Administrator's Guide

This document gives a complete description of how PC² operates and what a Contest Administrator (or his/her staff) must do to install and configure the system to run a contest.

Currently, the Adminstrator's Guide consists of two components: the Version 7.6 Guide plus the V8.2 Supplement. Users who are already familar with PC² will probably find everything they need in the V8.2 Supplement. New users will benefit from looking through the V7.6 Guide along with the V8.2 Supplement.

PC² Team Guide

This document is designed as a handout for teams competing in a contest using PC². A copy should be given in advance to each team to help them prepare for using the system. (The document is short, and it usually takes even first-time users only a few minutes to learn to use the system easily.)
The V7.6 Team Guide applies to Version 8.2 as well.
