As the title suggests, there will be a lockout tournament targeted towards pre-college students, organized by (in no particular order) lethan3, ezraft, PurpleCrayon, GusterGoose27, Apple_Method, codetiger927, qpwoeirut, clcos, jamster, and izhang.
Timing
The opening ceremony will start April 29 around 10:30 AM Pacific time (click the link to see the converted time), where tournament specific rules and the structure will be announced.
It will last for an expected 4 hours. You can check the website for more details.
All problems for the lockout matches will come from the Codeforces problemset, so the starting time may be modified depending on how fast system tests for round 869 go.
Who can participate?
The main tournament is intended for precollege participants.
Non-precollege participants can join to spectate or play some casual matches.
How to participate?
Join the Discord server. Also see the website for more information.
Format
Again, for more details, please visit the website or join the Discord server. Most logistics will be handled through the latter.
Also, SecondThread will be streaming and commentating the tournament! The link will be added here tomorrow.
Update

And we would like to congratulate the winner and the only present participant :flushed: of the Unofficial Division:
Check out the recording of the livestream here!
Thank you, participants, for such a successful tournament! We hope you enjoyed dueling with us and had fun!
In order to take your codeforces journey to the next level ... I recommend participating!
Can it be postponed?
Both Syria and Egypt have their TST tomorrow in the 29th of April, so we would be grateful if some change in the time can be done !
Unfortunately, we can't postpone the round. But if it helps, you can do the registration steps early by going into the Discord server, setting your handle on the bot, and getting the participant role; then you will only need to be present from 11:00 AM PDT onwards. That should be 9:00 PM in Egypt time, so hopefully that works!
