Google 2024, 67 qubits, 16 cycles, 2^30 elements (67 qubits, 440 two-qubit gates). Fewer multiplications rank first. Equal counts are ranked by submission number (lower first). Each participant appears once, with their best accepted submission. Scores are public; a participant can keep the file itself private.
