    • The next three teams will receive the Second Prize.
    • The next five teams will receive the Third Prize.
  • For pre-college participants, we plan to have two First Prizes, three Second Prizes, and five Third Prizes. All based on the on-site participants. Online participants with the same score will get certificates but not awards.
