</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Competitors,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Track 3 is scheduled on Thursday, September 14th at 7:00 (UTC). The times are UTC, so you should add +1 for the UK and Portugal, +2 for Western Europe, +8 for China and +9 for Japan. Cross-check the exact time in your location. If you participate
in other tracks, the organisers will send you the calendar in a separate email. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">You shall launch their first scoring trial inside a 5-minute window starting at the above times. i.e., between 7.00 and 7.05 (UTC) on Thursday.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
After the first scoring trial is finished, each competitor has 2 minutes to start the next scoring trial. Please, keep in mind that the order of trials is significant and must not be changed. First, the first scoring trial and then the second one. Do not run
first the second scoring trial and then the first one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The initial position will be included in the Yaml file and has been shared to you privately yesterday. If you have not received it, please let us know as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
One team from Track 3 has not yet requested a testing trial name. As I highlighted yesterday, the integration to EvaalAPI is not trivial and you should be able to work with the API. Please ask <a href="mailto:info@evaal.aaloa.org" target="_blank">info@evaal.aaloa.org</a> for
your testing trials and confirm participation.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">You should let <a href="mailto:info@evaal.aaloa.org" target="_blank">info@evaal.aaloa.org</a> know which server they prefer for running their scoring trials. Some of you already answered my email yesterday, please choose among the European
and the Chinese servers as soon as possible. If we do not receive any preference, we will choose one for them.<br>
<br>
Francesco Potortì will send scoring trial names in time for competitors to start, with instructions on start time windows, trial order and server to use. Francesco will send scoring trial names only to teams who have paid their fee for participating. Unfortunately,
only a few teams sent proof of payment for Track 3, the others should send proof to me and <a href="mailto:info@evaal.aaloa.org" target="_blank">info@evaal.aaloa.org</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<b>Again, this is a show stopper!!! </b><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Francesco will not send scoring trial names without proof of payment.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
