Questions regarding WSC Team Playoffs

[Richard]

All questions regarding the WSC Team Playoffs must be asked here.

If puzzles are handed back because of a mistake, will teams be told which puzzle(s) have errors?

(This should probably be stated explicitly in the rules; also that errors won't be pointed out, both here and for the individual playoffs.)

[Richard]

Judges won't tell in which puzzle(s) the mistake(s) is/are. In none of the playoffs.

We will add a small sentence in the IB.

I have a question about ranking system of the team playoffs.

If team X (1st in the preliminary rounds) finishes in 55 minutes, team Y (2nd in the preliminary rounds) finishes in 45 minutes, and other two teams does not finish (and therefore the playoffs are aborted), which team will be the winner?

In this case team Y is the winner, team X is second. For the other teams the number of correctly solved grids are counted.
