Blackout

Rules

1. A 3-second countdown, then the GO signal.
2. There are 8 rounds with three cups and one ball.
3. Midway through the shuffle the lights go out for 0.45 s, and the cups keep moving.
4. When they stop, pick the cup with the ball.
5. You pick by clicking the cup or with the keys 1, 2, 3… from left to right.
6. The event lasts 2 min at most.

How scoring works

Every correct pick scores, and more in the fast rounds or the ones with lots of swaps.

Levels

• Gold level1,200 points
• Silver level900 points
• Bronze level550 points

Levels are earned by result; medals are only for the CCI Olympics.

Tips

• Right before the blackout, note which way your cup was heading: it nearly always carries on that way.
• Do not follow every cup: lock your eyes on the one with the ball and forget the rest.
