🏁 Total number of teams entering the Finals
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Consider video quality | 30% of the total number of participating teams |
| Consider community voting | Maximum 03 teams (not in 30%) |
| TOTAL | 30% to 30% + 3 teams |
For example:100 teams → 30 quality teams + maximum 3 voting teams = 30–33 teams going to the Finals.
