+In each regular game, up to 10 orders will be posted.

+3 time points are attached to each order:
+At its \emph{activation time}, the \ac{refbox} announces the order to each
+team along with a \emph{delivery start time} and a \emph{delivery end time}
+(deadline).
+
+At the beginning of the game, 2 orders are announced, one with complexity
+C0 or C1, the other with complexity C2 or C3. In any case, the first ring
+(if any) of either of this two orders is of color complexity $CC_0$
+(costs no additional bases to mount).
+
+The remaining 8 orders are dispatched throughout the game according to the
+following criteria:
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item 50\% are of complexity C2 or C3, the other 50\% are of complexity C0 or
+    C1.
+    Hence the complexities of orders will be similar for all games within a
+    tournament phase. But the actual production chains are randomized.
+  \item Exactly one order is competitive, while the remaining orders will be
+    \emph{non-competitive}.
+  \item The activation times are roughly evenly spaced between minute 3 and
+    minute 16 (every \SI{120}{\second} with deviations of up to
+    \SI{90}{\second}, but always between minute 3 and 16).
+  \item The time between activation and delivery start (production window) is
+    randomized and based on the complexity of the product.
+    Similarly the time between delivery start and end (delivery window)
+    is randomized as indicated in \reftab{tab:order-time-randomization}

-In each game, up to 9 orders will be placed within the regular game.
-1 of those orders will be \emph{competitive}, while the remaining
-orders will be \emph{non-competitive}. In case of overtime, an
-additional competitive order will be placed.\footnote{The numbers can
-be adjusted during the tournament by the Technical Committee, should
-this turn out to be necessary.}
-The complexities of orders will be similar for all games within a
-tournament phase. But the actual production chains are randomized.
-Each order will require one or more products of a specified product
-type to be delivered. A competitive order always requires exactly one
-product to be delivered. The product is specified in terms of base
-color, rings (color and order), cap color, and possible delivery gate.
-The delivery time slot will have a randomized start time. The duration
-will be randomized between 30 to 180 seconds. The end time shall be
-within the game time. There is not necessarily an open order for a
-particular product at a specific time, or any order at all. The first
-order will be posted within the first 120 seconds of the game (but not
-necessarily at the beginning of the game). Orders for the products of
-complexity $C_2$ or $C_3$ will not begin in the first 300 seconds. An
-order will be announced before the delivery time slots starts. For
-$C_0$ products the lead time ahead of the start of the time window is
-60 to 120 seconds, for $C_1$ it is 120 to 300 seconds, and for $C_2$
-and $C_3$ orders the time is between 300 and 600 seconds. Two early
-orders will be posted that are announced in the first third of the
-game with a delivery time window in the last third. For each of the
-complexities $C_0$ and $C_1$ a standing order for a single product
-will be placed at the beginning of the production phase, which can be
-fulfilled at any time during the game. Competitive orders are always for
-products of complexity $C_0$. A competitive order cannot be a standing order.
-
-The \ac{refbox} ensures that there will always
-be some orders for $C_1$ products where the ring color does not
-require additional bases, i.e., with color complexity $CC_0$ --- but
-not necessarily all $C_1$ orders have this constraint.
+In case of overtime, an
+additional competitive order of complexity C0 will be placed.
 
 Teams playing on the field at the same time will get the same
 production plan. However, each game will use a new randomized order
