Rules & Guidelines

The prefects behind the KLSMC 2026 will attempt their best at maintaining integrity and fair and clean competition, to ensure this the competitors must follow the rules and guideliens:

  • AI chatbots such as DeepSeek, GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT are discouraged, as all teams are required to make the small intuitive leaps to answer difficult questions, on their own.

  • Misconduct with other teams is prohibited. This includes answer sharing between same school teams, and general bad manners towards any team.
