Following the success of our previous Student Cluster Challenges the competition will return in 2024 for it's fifth edition. As in 2023 this years' Student Cluster Competition will be a hybrid competition with a series of online challenges leading up to the conference followed by some in-person challenges during the conference itself.

The points scoring for the competition is the same for every round. The team that wins the challenge will be awarded 30pts. All other teams will then be awarded points based on the performance against the winning teams score. For example: if the first challenge has a maximum of 100pts available and the winning team scores 90 out of 100 that team will receive the maximum 30 competition points. If the team in second place scores 80 out of 100 they will receive 27pts because their score is 89% of the winning score (90pts) so they get 89% of the maximum 30pts available to the winning team. If the team in 3rd place scores 70 out of 100 they will receive 23pts because their score is 78% of the winning score (90pts) so they receive 78% of the maximum 30pts available to the winning team. All points are rounded up or down to the nearest full number. We do not score half points.
