Parent Notice
Families and proctors can review the access rules, timing, and device expectations in one place.
This section is designed to reduce confusion before competition day by clarifying sign-in requirements, arrival timing, and supervised device use.
Access rules
Students must sign in using the exact email registered by the school and the shared school password issued before competition day.
Arrival and timing
Students should be ready 10 minutes before the scheduled round so devices, seating, and instructions can be checked calmly before the timer begins.
Devices and supervision
The preliminary and final rounds are designed for supervised school computer labs and school iPads, with no communication allowed during timed attempts.
What parents should expect
Practice helps students learn the platform, but qualification depends on preliminary performance, and final results are confirmed after the monitored event ends.
Live Scoreboard
The leaderboard area is ready for final-round live visibility between the two schools.
The guideline document confirms that live dashboard monitoring is part of the final round, so this placeholder is positioned to become the public-facing school comparison area.
