B. We do not accept multiple submissions, please submit your engineering notebook once only (as the final version). We will print out all submissions after Jan 23 deadline, hence late submission is not accepted.

F. Judge will call out teams with prior engineering notebook submission to complete judging session first, then gradually open for queue up upon judge announcement, but please noted that the queuing period will be very limited. Please queue up when your teams are ready for the 5-10 mins interview before Judge interview closing time (the discussion may include the introduction of competition strategy, robot design, etc.).
G. Since the tournament schedule will be randomly assigned by computer on the day of the competition, the judging session will take place simultaneously with the tournament, and must be completed before the finals according to the competition rules. Therefore, teams should pay attention to the schedule and participate accordingly. No teams will be accepted after the Judging Session deadline.
