• Each challenge has a pre-determined score.
• Each submission for each problem will be scored based on the number of testcases it passes.
• A participant's total score is the sum of the scores earned for each problem attempted. If you submitted more than one solution for a problem, only the highest score achieved will be used in this calculation.
• Participants are ranked by score, with the cumulative time taken (between the competition start time and the time of your correct submission) used to break ties.
