As the title suggests, there will be a lockout tournament targeted towards pre-college students, organized by (in no particular order) lethan3, ezraft, PurpleCrayon, GusterGoose27, Apple_Method, codetiger927, qpwoeirut, clcos, jamster, and izhang.

Timing

The opening ceremony will start April 29 around 10:30 AM Pacific time (click the link to see the converted time), where tournament specific rules and the structure will be announced.

It will last for an expected 4 hours. You can check the website for more details.

All problems for the lockout matches will come from the Codeforces problemset, so the starting time may be modified depending on how fast system tests for round 869 go.

Who can participate?

The main tournament is intended for precollege participants.

Non-precollege participants can join to spectate or play some casual matches.

How to participate?

Join the Discord server. Also see the website for more information.

Format

Double-elimination.

Again, for more details, please visit the website or join the Discord server. Most logistics will be handled through the latter.

Also, SecondThread will be streaming and commentating the tournament! The link will be added here tomorrow.
