Submissions will be evaluated based on: Route Quality (70%) Lower total travel distance receives a higher score. Constraint Satisfaction (20%) Routes must: Start and end at the depot Visit every destination exactly once Contain no duplicate visits Invalid routes receive penalties. Computational Efficiency (10%) Faster and more efficient optimization approaches may receive bonus points. Final Score: Score = Distance Score + Validity Bonus + Efficiency Bonus Higher scores rank higher on the leaderboard.
Route
60%Route quality relative to the official dataset baseline, adjusted for delivery coverage and constraint violations.
Quantum
40%QUBO validity plus verified circuit evidence, resource efficiency, and route↔solution linkage. Self-reported-only quantum usage is capped at the classical baseline.
Tie-breakers
After total score: fewer constraint violations, shorter total distance, faster execution, earlier submission.
