Dear Participants,

As you continue to develop your strategies and solutions for the competition, we wish to clarify and emphasize a critical rule regarding the use of indexes.

Once you start to answer queries using the index, no modifications to the index are permitted under any circumstances.

Please be aware that violations of this rule could lead to disqualification or other penalties as outlined in our competition guidelines. We strongly encourage all participants to review this and other rules detailed on the competition website to avoid any misunderstandings.

We appreciate your attention to maintaining the integrity of the contest and your commitment to fairness. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Best regards,
SIGMOD Programming Contest 2024 Organizer

Dear Participants,

We would like to clarify and emphasize some crucial rules regarding the construction of indexes and data usage:

1. The index for base data must be constructed without using any information from the queries.
2. Once you begin to answer queries using the index, no modifications to the index of dataset D are permitted under any circumstances.

Please be aware that violations of these rules could lead to disqualification or other penalties, as outlined in our competition guidelines. We strongly encourage all participants to review these and other rules detailed on the competition website to avoid any misunderstandings.

Thank you for your commitment and effort towards maintaining a fair and competitive environment.
