This was mentioned by @meisterT in another PR, so this is a start of documenting the /problems page. I removed the pascal example as it forces us to another page and I suspect it's never needed (not sure how many tries it will save in a year).

The resulting PDF:
domjudge-team-manual.pdf


- all attachments such as 'testing tools' to problems,
- view the submission and acceptance ratio during the contest as an indicator of the difficulty of a problem,
- get the problem statement and clarifications on those statements

I looked that one up and it seems that 'problem set' is the correct form and 'problemset' is something which is informally accepted. I'm fine with both though.

The UI uses problemset it seems so that's why I'm suggesting it.

I like the brevity of this explanation, but I'm not sure if we might want to include a hint that more information is available when hovering the indicators.

Do we need to mention the URL? It's in the menu, nobody should need to enter more than the base URL anyway.

Not sure what this is used for, and the commit doesn't explain it

What about something like this?

- view indicators for problem difficulty (submission and acceptance rates) across contest intervals (hover over the boxes for exact numbers),

The setup of every contest is different so the judges may provide the problemset in hardcopy

I suggest the following phrasing:

Judges may distribute the digital versions of the problems either individually per or as full problemset through DOMjudge.
If the judges issue a clarification for a problem, it will be sent out and displayed in the corresponding problem card.
The judges may provide additional files for a problem, such as extra inputs, testing tools, or other relevant attachments.
You can use the problemset page to help decide which problem to solve next. DOMjudge shows the live contest progress, including the number of successful and failed submissions for each problem.
Use the info from the problemset page and the scoreboard to gauge problem difficulty. A good rule of thumb is: Problems solved often and early in the contest are likely easier. Problems solved infrequently or only later in the contest are typically more difficult.

Perhaps just comment it out, so it can be easily re-used? Also consider commenting out all other non-default ICPC languages.

I would suggest using a screenshot without jury access, so that there is no "--> Jury" and perhaps also without Print functionality.
