MATRICES
In this test one must memorize 12 numbered matrices in order, which will appear on the screen. These will be made up of boxes
of two colors, blue and white. When the last matrix disappears, the competitor will have to draw them on the screen. You can't
write them down first on a piece of paper.

You will have 6 minutes for this test. All of the matrices are the same size, as chosen by the competitor immediately prior to the test.
The exposition times will decrease progressively.
The exposition times will decrease progressively.
The score will depend on the number of boxes that each matrix has. Only the matrices that are memorized perfectly will be counted,
thus, with only one error in a matrix, no points are earned for that matrix.

This last test will allow for tactical situations in the championship and a lot of excitement since each participant can take risks by trying
to memorize more complex matrices, in order to get a higher score and thereby improve their position in the final classification.

Here we can see the standard competition matrix. It has 4 boxes, and is worth 40 points.
This matrix is worth 60 points since it has 6 boxes.
