step 1

How will you compete?

Choose solo or team before you can start the assessment

How team selection works

•Only one person (team lead) fills the team form. Teammates are added by their email address.
•If your teammate has already added you to their team, this screen will update automatically — you don't need to do anything.
•Each teammate must have their own account (they need to register with their email first).
⚠️Once confirmed, teams cannot be changed. Solo is locked for Round 1 only.
