Plagiarism checks are being done on all the Snackdown rounds, and will be announced within a week, after which the Pre-Elimination ranklist will be finalized. Cheaters caught will be permanently banned from the platform.

The video editorials of the problems will be available on our YouTube channel as soon as the contest ends. Subscribe to get notifications about our new editorials.
