# 3.3 Rolling start

Teams are assigned unique numbers at the start of the competition. A random draw determines the starting participant, creating excitement. On Tuesday, the 15th, at 10:00 AM, the chosen team begins, marking the official start. A new draw will be done at the start of each day.

Upon completion or forfeiture in a category, the next team starts promptly, ensuring a time buffer and a dynamic flow, replacing fixed start times. This fosters camaraderie as teams are forced to be present, enhancing the experience for participants and spectators.
