Managing contest triggers

For a contest that is both virtual and team-based, you can specify that only coaches can start the contest for their own contestants. An example that needs this feature is Asia-Pacific Informatics Olympiad (APIO) contests.

Simply enable External Trigger module, then select Coach in the configuration.

The coaches can then start the contest via Teams tab. They can click the start button to start the contest. Once the contest has started, it can’t be undone.
