1. Paper submission process:

After answering the paper, you can hand in the paper. Fill in the following contents in any email box and add paper attachments (don't use the functions of "super-large attachments" or "cloud attachments"). In the subject line of the email, enter the control number of the team. For example: 2022345. Each email is limited to one team solution file. (Sending more than one file at a time is prohibited)

2. Pay attention to the time node:

Although the deadline for submitting papers is (Beijing time: February 2, 20231,Tuesday morning 10: 00), it is best not to submit papers at this time, not to mention the network congestion, and the last time is very urgent. If anything goes wrong, be sure to leave enough time! Of course, if you have strong problem-solving ability, the sooner you submit it, the better!

3. Be careful not to slip by hand:

Every year, many tragedies are caused by hand slip: uploading the wrong document, sending the wrong email, handing in the entries before the deadline, only to find obvious mistakes and so on. And don't send irrelevant documents. The official explicitly requires "Do not include or send attachment files, including programs, software, databases or other files, in the solution email, because they will not be used in the review process."

4. Pay attention to file size:

According to the official requirements, the attachments submitted to the mailbox must be less than 17MB, but some papers with more charts are not excluded. In this case, it is recommended that you either reduce the image quality and compress the image, or use professional software to compress the pdf file, such as AdobePDF. The official requirement is to submit Adobepdf format, but actually wps can be saved as pdf format.

5. Check the file format:

There is a strict format for the submission of American competition papers, such as 22 12345 (team control number). pdf。 If the format error is light, the other party will reject it, and if it is heavy, it will be judged unqualified, and all the results will be invalid! In addition to file naming, pay attention to the format of mail naming. Incorrect formats will also be rejected.

6. Check the mailbox:

If your email prompts a red cross or exclamation point, it means that it was not sent successfully. At this point, you need to resubmit or change your email address.

After the mail is sent, students should take the initiative to check the mailbox and have a look at it every once in a while. After the email is submitted successfully, please confirm it in the fourth step in official website (indicating that the paper has been sent).

7. Query progress:

You can log in to Mercer official website again to check the submission status.
