Frequently Asked Questions

Only the Team Lead is authorized to complete the registration. Team members should not register independently.

Yes. Solutions may be submitted by any team member, provided all details (Team ID, Team Name, Problem ID) match registration data exactly, including capitalization, spelling, and formatting.

Only the Team Lead. All official communications are routed exclusively through the Team Lead, who is responsible for disseminating information within the team.

No. Teams must complete assigned problems sequentially. Progression to the next set is enabled only after successful evaluation of current submissions.
