Only two entries are allowed, and late registration will close at the start of Day 2. One reentry is permitted, and there will be a short break after every two levels, with a 75-minute dinner break after Level 6 at approximately 7:10 p.m.
Shot clocks will be implemented from the start, with each player receiving four time banks.
