This leaderboard was estimated from the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQAQCOik6DE&t=1447s wrapup video]. The team names are sourced from here, the finish times are from the next slide, and the solve counts are from three slides ahead. The leaderboard displayed here gives the 17 finishers ranked by finish time, and the extended leaderboard (up to 30 teams) are derived from the solve count graph until the dots and labels become too hard to distinguish. |
