In an attempt to keep everything running smoothly, we have split competitors into "heats," as below. During each event, heats will be called up sequentially to solve. Even if you are not in heat 1 of an event, we advise you to stay close-by until your heat is called to ensure you don't miss your turn.
Highlighted names are our way to ensure we have volunteers evenly distributed; they can be ignored for the purpose of finding your heats.
Time limit
If you reach the time limit during your solve, the judge will stop you and your result will be DNF (see Regulation A1a4).
Cutoff
The result to beat to proceed to the second phase of a cutoff round (see Regulation 9g).
Format
The format describes how to determine the ranking of competitors based on their results. The list of allowed formats per event is described in Regulation 9b. See Regulation 9f for a description of each format.
