One scenario goes live every Friday 4pm UTC. You have 60 minutes from open to submit; the same five-dim rubric grades you, but methodology beats raw speed if the tie comes down to it. Public board until Monday 9am UTC. No prizes you cannot pronounce, just the board.
next rush, friday 4pm UTC, 412 competing last week
If two candidates finish within 12 seconds of each other, the one with the higher methodology score wins the tiebreak. Real ops is not a typing race. We added this rule the second week, after a candidate placed top-1 by rm-rf-ing a service we explicitly told them not to; ranked third on retry.
4pm Friday UTC is the slot where the most people in the most timezones can actually steal an hour. The 60-minute cap is generous on purpose: the rush is not a CTF, it is the same rubric with a public board. The cap is there so people who cannot finish in 5 minutes still have a chance to show methodology.
I got hired off the rush board, not the resume I submitted. The hiring manager opened the replay before our phone screen.
