Reviewer Qualification Requirements
Challenge Tracks
Below are the requirements for membership in review boards.
All reviewers must have a challenge history with at least N contests with a post-appeals review score of 85 or higher and the submission being in the top3 for the contest. The value of N can be found in the table below.
All reviewers must have at least one contest with a post-appeals score of 85 or higher and the submission being in the top3 for the contest in the last six months or in the last posted 40 contests (this number includes all past contests, not just the ones that you submitted for).
| Track | N |
|---|---|
| Development (includes Code, Assembly, and Testing) | 10 |
| Architecture | 3 |
| UI Prototype | 6 |
Existing inactive reviewers will need to meet both requirements before they are allowed to become active.
Review Board Immunity
TopCoder will occasionally grant an immunity from these requirements to certain otherwise highly qualified members and/or in special circumstances. This will be at the sole discretion of Topcoder.
