Appendix: Configuration reference

DOMjudge has several configuration settings available. They can be accessed in the admin interface under Configuration settings. This appendix contains a list of all the available options with a description of what they mean.

The system has the following types of configuration options:

bool: a boolean, either true or false.
int: a numeric value.
string: a string value.
array_val: an array of values.
array_keyval: an array of values with specific keys (also known as a dictionary).

Public means whether the option is exposed in the API to non-jury members.

Scoring

`verification_required`

Is manual verification of judgings by jury required before publication?

Type: bool
Public: no
Default value: False

`compile_penalty`

`penalty_time`

Penalty time in minutes per wrong submission (if eventually solved).

Type: int
Public: yes
Default value: 20
