Please read these instructions carefully. They apply to all participants and guests. They are part of the Championship Terms & Conditions you accepted when you registered.
A. Before The Championship

- The detailed schedule of the 10 disciplines, the reporting time, the scoring rules for each discipline and other practical details will be sent to you before the championship.
- Practise under timed conditions. Read the rules of each discipline before the day.
- For Random Numbers, Speed Numbers and Binary Numbers you will receive a tracing sheet: a transparent sheet with pre-drawn lines that you place over the memorisation sheet. Its lines will be drawn after the number of digits you chose in the registration form.
B. Reporting And Check-In
