Guidelines for Typing Test

Competition Format:

1. Rounds

2. Qualifiers: Short typing tests to filter participants.

3. Semi-Finals: More challenging text with punctuation and numbers.

4. Finals: Complex passage, including special characters and symbols.

5. Time Limit

Competition Rules:

A. General Rules

1. Use a standard QWERTY keyboard.

2. No autocorrect or predictive text assistance.

3. No external typing tools (e.g., macros, auto-typers, or speech-to-text software).

4. Stay within the competition platform’s interface (no switching windows/tabs).

B. Scoring System

Words Per Minute (WPM): Measures speed.

Accuracy: Determines final score adjustment.

Final Score Calculation:

1. Final Score=WPM×Accuracy Percentage

2. Example: 90 WPM × 98% Accuracy = 88.2 Adjusted Score

Penalty for Errors:

1. Typing mistakes may require backspacing to correct.

2. Some competitions deduct points for uncorrected errors.

Fair Play & Conduct:

1. No cheating (monitoring software may be used in online events).

2. Respect time limits (no restarting mid-competition).

3. Follow event moderator’s instructions.

Tie-Breakers:

1. If two participants have identical scores, a 30-second speed round may determine the winner.

2. If still tied, accuracy takes priority.
