　To prevent students from working at midnight, we typically designate five time zones. This ensures that teams from any country can receive the challenge sequentially between approximately 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. in their local time. While there may be slight variations in the chosen time zones from year to year, they typically include East Asia Time (UTC+9), Southwest Asia Time(UTC+5), Eastern European Time (UTC+2), Eastern Standard Time(UTC-5), and Pacific Standard Time(UTC-8).

　The Preliminary Round serves to determine the national teams of countries that have not gone through the selection process in their home countries. If you are NOT from Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia or Mongolia where representative teams are selected at national competitions, you must attend this session. Based on the score of this session, up to three teams representing your country will be selected. The GYEC will be held entirely online, including the Preliminary Round (the first selection stage) and the Final Selection.
