-Please note that there can be significant variation in the average difficulty of questions within a single category, and, therefore, directly comparing statistics may be misleading.

-In determining the overall rankings, the following rules apply to standard, complex, and composite tables:

The top finishers in each category in each stage are considered first. If any competitor won multiple stages, they won the category. Otherwise, tiebreakers are resolved in the following order:

(1) Comparison of category scores in stages where both competitors received the category;

(2) If still tied due to 1-1 result, comparison of ratios of scores in the two stages;

(3) If still tied because there is no such stage, then ratio of score with the next ranked competitor at that stage

After application of the above, the next ranked category from each stage is considered, continuing until the table is completed.

For multioperation tasks, each competitor’s best stage is directly compared.
