+# IEEE SoutheastCon 2020 Hardware Competition
+__Dates:__ March 12-15, 2020
+__Location:__ Raleigh, NC
+
+## Task
+In honor of Pi Day (which is the actual day of the finals), this year's competition is based on Pi. There are two tasks to complete.
+
+1. Along the nearest wall of the arena, there are a series of 10 LED buttons. The task here is to press the buttons as they light up in the digits of Pi.
+2. The rest of the arena consists of 10 "nooks" in which we can place stacks of same-colored Lego Duplo blocks. Each stack of blocks corresponds to a different digit (based on resistor color codes). The task here is to collect the blocks and create a stack in the digits of Pi (with the leading 3 on the bottom). By the end of the round, the stack must be placed on a base (that we insert) at the far end of the arena.
+
+## Scoring
+
+The total score for a round is the sum of the subscores in the table below. For reference:
+* **N** is the number of blocks stacked in the right order.
+* **W** is the number of blocks stacked in the wrong order.
+* **M** is the number of button presses in the right order.
+* **X** is the number of button presses in the wrong order.
+
+| Description | Number of Points |
+| ------ | ------ |
+| Total Stack (in right order) | 20 * N * N |
+| Additional Stack (in wrong order) | W * W |
+| Total Button Presses (in right order) | 10 * M |
+| Additional Button Presses (in wrong Order) | X (max of 100) | 
+
+All button presses/stacking is considered to be in the wrong order once 1 mistake is made in the sequence.
+
+There is no limit to the scoring with the one exception that only the first 100 incorrect button presses will be counted.
