PROCTOR ELIGIBILITY AND REQUIREMENTS

PROCTOR REGISTRATION

IEEEXtreme 18.0 will take place on 26 October 2024 at 00:00:00 UTC.

In order to be eligible to proctor for IEEEXtreme, proctors must be full IEEE Members of higher grade than IEEE Student.

Proctors must register prior to the date of the competition.

If a team selects a proctor to monitor them, the proctor will receive email notifying them and requesting that they either confirm or deny the team’s request. Proctors are asked to respond to these emails as soon as possible.

During the 24 hours of the competition, Proctor tasks include:

  • Monitor the general flow of the activity
  • Inform students when the competition begins, at the middle of it, when there are 6 hours left and when there is 1 hour left
  • Ensure that no one external to the team helps or assists the student participants in resolving the problems in any way – this includes no assistance from proctors
  • Ensures teams receive adequate rest, nutrition and exercise

Proctors are allowed to manage up to 20 teams. Teams may also enjoy the support of multiple proctors to share responsibilities and take shifts. Assigned proctors are responsible for ensuring that participants do not engage in plagiarism.

Venue

Although IEEEXtreme is an online competition, a physical location, or online means, may be identified for each team to use during the 24-hour competition.

Should circumstances allow, proctors and teams can participate in the same venue. Venues can be in an IEEE Student Branch office, a college lab, or another location on campus. It must be a place that participants can use for the entire 24 hours during the competition. Teams will need some connection to the internet and at least one computer to work on. It is ideal if the venue also has space for team participants to rest.
