Steps to create a new contest:

1. UPDATE README.md file's CPCFI Contests table:
   1. Period: either 1 or 2 depending if its the first part of the CPCFI year (units 1-5, usually August-December) or the second part of the CPCFI year (units 6-10, usually January-July)
   2. Semester: use the following format: <Term> <\YYYY>
      1. Term: either Spring, Fall, Summer or Winter. These last two options should only be used if the CPCFI runs a contest within summer or winter school holidays and should use 1 and 2 for the period attribute respectively. For example, if creating a contest in summer for 2021, the period should be 2 and the term should be Summer 2021
      2. YYYY: year
   3. For example:

      Period	Semester	Link
      1	Fall 2021	here
      2	Spring 2022	here

2. CREATE a new directory with the following format: <Period><Season><YYYY>/
   1. Period: either 1 or 2
   2. Season: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
   3. YYYY: year
3. ADD the following information to step 2 newly created directory:

   1. README.md

      1. Should contain a markdown table with the following columns (use the table template in the section CPCFI Contests table template below):
         1. # of contest: counts the number of contests made for each unit
         2. Unit: number and name of the current unit in the format <#>-<Unit Name>. For example, 1-Introduction to Competitive Programming
         3. Contest: url to the contest problem sets or scoreboard
         4. Editorial: url to the contest editorial. Ideally, the editorial must be created in this repository by CPCFI's current professors and alumni
         5. Editorial Status: one of the following: Missing, Partially Complete or Complete
      2. For example:

      # of Contest	Unit	Contest	Editorial	Editorial Status
      1	1 - Introduction to Competitive Programming	https://open.kattis.com/contests/cfdfas		Missing
      1	2 - Data Structures and Libraries	https://open.kattis.com/contests/xjy9uy		Missing

   2. Contest editorial directories

      1. Name format: <Number of contest>-<Number of Unit>-<Unit name>/
      2. Directory content:

         1. README.md file

            1. Markdown table (see template CPCFI Contest table template below) with one entry for each problem within the problem set
            2. For example:

            Problem ID	Problem Name	Categories
            F	Spiderman's Workout	DP
            G	Plane Ticket Pricing	DP

         2. Problemset in PDF format if possible

         3. Create a new directory for every problem

            1. For example, C-Spider-Trap/, where C indicates that it's problem C (3) within the problemset and Spider Trap is the name of the problem
            2. C++ source file and any additional files required (input or output)
            3. PDF with hand written editorial or url to problem editorial if possible
