Groups

 * Students are allowed to form a big group of a maximum of 6 people with the students of the same year irrespective of class standings. Even though forming a group is not a prerequisite, forming a group is considered to be more beneficial.

 * No matter how many people drop out in the middle of the exam, the group can continue to function without any issues until the last person drops out.


 * After the special exam starts, the small groups will be allowed to come together and form a big group if they decides to. i.e. 2 groups of 3 people or 3 groups of 2 people or even 6 Solo participants could form one big group. In a big group of more than 4 people, the percentage of girls in the group must be at least be 50%.


 * The small group can come together to form a big group by participating in tasks with the reward being the ability to increase the group size starting from the 4th day.

2. You couldn’t trade within your class, and once a card has changed owners, it cannot be traded further.

3. The effects do not stack when you use the same card.

''A student can hold and use up to 7 cards. The three special cards will be randomly distributed and each school year will get only one of each type. Therefore, it is possible for a class to end up with all three of the special cards. ''

Basic Movement Rule

 * A new designated area will be announced four times a day. On the first and last day of the exam, there will only be three with no random designation.


 * The target intervals are 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, and 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.


 * Three times a day, the site of the next designated area will be within two cells laterally or one cell diagonally of the previous area.


 * Once a day, the next designated area will be randomly selected out of all accessible areas on the map. Random designation will never occur twice in a row.


 * The first three groups to arrive at a designated area will receive an Early Bird Bonus based on their arrival order, with the first getting 10 points, the second getting 5 points, and the third getting 3 points.

※The time in which all members of a group have arrived in the area will be used to determine the ranking of the bonus.


 * Everyone who arrives at the designated area within the time interval will receive an Arrival Bonus of exactly one point.


 * In the event that a group is already present in the next designated area when it gets selected, they will receive the one-point Arrival Bonus, but will not be eligible for the Early Bird Bonus.


 * Groups will be penalized should they fail to arrive at the designated area three times in a row. Points will continue to be deducted based on the number of consecutive misses. However, once the group breaks the chain of misses, the penalty counter will be reset to zero.

Watch

 * The school will continuously monitor the health and well being of all students via a specially provided wristwatch.


 * If any physical or digital abnormalities are detected in the watch, all further point acquisitions will be disabled and a checkup will be required.


 * Provides the user with alerts regarding any health abnormalities. A Warning Alert can be disregarded, but in the event of an Emergency Alert, the user must return to the starting area. Failure to return to the starting area within 24 hours may result in retirement.


 * The watch comes pre-programmed with one of twelve different Tables. The order in which designated areas are assigned differs between each Table.


 * If an Emergency Alert goes off for at least five minutes without being disabled by the user, a medical team will be dispatched to the user’s location. In the event of a dire emergency such as cardiac arrest or a sharp drop in blood pressure, the team will come immediately.

Tablet

 * A small tablet will be issued to every student.


 * Provides a digital map of the island, allowing real-time verification of any active designated area and the user’s current location.


 * Provides information about nearby Task locations, prospective rewards, and so on.


 * Allows confirmation of the current standings of the top and bottom groups. This will become available starting on the fourth day of the exam and last until the end of the twelfth day. Users will only be shown a point breakdown of the top ten groups, bottom ten groups, and their own group.


 * The GPS searching feature will be unlocked from the sixth day onward, allowing the user to find the physical location of any student on the island. However, each search will cost the user 1 point.


 * Displays any notification messages from the school in the event that an exam-wide issue has taken place.


 * Should the tablet’s battery run out, it can be charged at the starting area or one of many designated charging locations. Total battery life is estimated at around eight hours if there is continuous application usage.

Tasks

 * Tasks may appear at any time from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. On the first day of the exam, they’ll appear starting at 10:00 AM and on the final day of the exam, they’ll stop appearing at 3:00 PM.


 * Tasks are split up into three general categories, and it’s possible for the same Task to show up more than once. The category distributions are as follows: 40% Academic Ability, 30% Physical Ability, and 30% Other.


 * Task appearance time is unpredictable. In order to find out the current status of a given Task, groups must physically travel to the Task location.


 * Depending on the Task, successful top-ranking participants will be awarded points, provisions, or even the ability to increase maximum group size.


 * The task for the opportunity to increase maximum group size will reward first place with 3 spots increment, second place with 2 spots increment and third place with 1 spot increment. These tasks would start to appear starting from the 4th day of their two week exam.


 * Once a group has reached the limit of six persons, they won't be allowed to register for the task that rewards them with ability to increase their maximum group size.

Rewards

 * First Place:

300 Class Points, 1 million Private Points, 1 Protection Point.


 * Second Place:

200 Class Points, 500,000 Private Points.


 * Third Place:

100 Class Points, 250,000 Private Points.


 * Groups within top 50% (including groups placed 1st to 3rd):

50,000 Private Points.


 * Groups within top 70% (including groups placed 1st to 3rd):

10,000 Private Points.


 * Class Points rewards for the top three groups will be taken from the class years of the bottom-placed three groups.


 * Class Points are not related to the number of people, but are divided equally by the number of classes. i.e. If a group consisting only students of a single class gets first place, the rewards for first place will be given entirely to that Class.On the other hand, if a group consisting of students from all four classes gets first place, the rewards will be divided equally among the four classes.

Penalties

 * The colossal total reward of 600 class points for the top three groups, will be evenly collected from the years of the bottom three placed groups. i.e. If the first-placed group is a second-year group and the last-placed group is a first-year group, the reward will be taken equally from every first-year class’s class points. The second-placed group corresponds to the second-to-last group, and the third-placed group corresponds to the third-to-last group.


 * In case the top and bottom groups are from the same year, the classes in the last placed group will have to pay 100 points each to the classes in the top group, while the classes in the 2nd to last-placed group will have to pay 66 points each, and the third to last with 33 points each. i.e. If a class wins first place alone, they will receive 300 points, but if that class also has a student alone in a group in last place, 100 points will be deducted, and they’ll only get 200 points.


 * In case a group with a mix of 4 classes finishes bottom, the number of class points to be taken will be reduced reduced to 75, 50, and 25 class points respectively for 1st, 2nd and 3rd last places


 * Students of the bottom 5 groups will be expelled.

''In case a group has to face the penalty for the exam, the group has to pay 6 million private points to be exempt from it. The division of the amount would be based on the number of peoples in the group. For a group of six, a million private points per person would save a student from expulsion.''

''After the exam starts, students cannot borrow or lend points to each other. As a result, the student must have gathered the required number of points necessary beforehand to overturn an expulsion.''
