The table fills in as each team finishes its eight minutes.

How a place is earned

Score = (successful runs + 1.5 × successful returns) ÷ official time × 1000

Every run that reaches the centre in the eight minutes counts.
A return, the mouse driving itself back to the start straight after a run, counts one and a half.
The official time is the fastest run or return.
Ties go to the faster official time.

For example

4 runs, best 25.0 s: 4 ÷ 25.0 × 1000 = 160.0

1 run of 18.0 s: 1 ÷ 18.0 × 1000 = 55.6

1 run of 20.0 s, 1 return of 18.0 s: 2.5 ÷ 18.0 × 1000 = 138.9

The top 32 go through to the knockout.
