Request to extend the deadline of Phase 1

Given that the leaderboard was re-evaluated only a few days ago, while new ‘flopscope’ bugs, commits, and PRs are still being reported, and the grader hasn’t yet been updated, we don’t currently know what the real scores are and how the final scores will look like.
Teams will also need some time to test and optimize their solutions once the final ‘flopscope’ version is confirmed for grading phase 1. Considering all of this, could the organizers please extend the deadline for phase 1?

We are currently finalising a new release of flopscope that addresses many of the concerns raised by the community, including several benchmark loopholes identified through recent submissions. We will share the full details in an upcoming announcement.

We also agree that an extension is warranted. We have therefore decided to extend the Phase 1 deadline by one week. The revised timeline and additional details will be included in the same announcement.
