Season Info

Participation in seasons is optional. If you intend to only submit your solves to the global leaderboard you can ignore the information in this page.

What are seasons?

Seasons are timed events that will last for approximately 3 months each. During each season, players will compete for who can solve the most bombs that fit certain criteria explained in this page.
The leaderboard for the season is separate from the global leaderboard, and is available through the "Seasons" button at the top of the page.
The season leaderboards are not shared between seasons and players can only add solves to the leaderboard of a season during the 3 months that season is active.
If you want a solve to be considered for the ongoing season, you need to activate the respective checkmark during the upload of the solve.
At the end of each season, the top 3 players in each of these categories will get a reward: Total distinct solves, Team distinct solves and EFM distinct solves. The rewards will last during the following season and are:

1st of each category: Colored name on this site and a colored role on the official KTANE server.
2nd of each category: Colored name on this site
3rd of each category: Colored name on this site

These rules need to be followed for any season solve

Every rule present in the rules page also applies to the seasons.
Each player participating in a solve must record their screen and/or physical tools and submit it as evidence during solve upload. Different roles require different screens recorded:

Defuser: must record the bomb and the audio communication with the experts.
Experts: must record any tools they use (this includes manuals, notepads, calculators, drawing tools and others).
EFM: must record the bomb and any tools they use.

Season solves must be of bombs submitted to this website within the 3 months prior to the current season's beginning date. Each season can have exceptions to this rule

These rules need to be followed for season 1 solves

Experts and EFM can only use notepads with no extra functionalities other than taking notes, non-restricted repository manuals and calculators for basic arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and powers). Any other tool is not allowed.
Modded widgets are not allowed.
Note taking systems and the clipboard need to start empty.
Each team solve needs to have a maximum of 1 defuser and 2 experts.

Are the extra functionalities in the Text Field Calculator, such as variable saving, allowed for season 1 solves?

No. The TFC can be used for note taking and basic arithmetic, but no extra functionalities are allowed.

I submitted a solve to the site before the season started, but it fits the criteria required for the current season. Can it be used as a season solve?

Are base converters/caesar cipher decryptors/macros/automatic line numbering allowed for season 1 solves?

For technical reasons one of the players can't fit their own POV in a single video. Can they submit more than 1 video as evidence?
