1. In the first round of events with cutoffs, all competitors will get 1 or 2 solves, and only those who solve under the cutoff time will be allowed to complete all solves in that event.
2. The time limits are strict limits after which the competitor will not be allowed to finish his or her solve.
3. The total time of all 3 solves will not surpass 10 minutes. For example, if the first and second solves took 5 minutes and 3 minutes respectively, the competitor will be stopped at the 2 minute mark on the third solve.
