Use when running the final pre-upload audit of a FOCS (IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science) submission — the April HotCRP deadline clock, the abstract-references-plus-ten-pages attention rule, the 11-point single-column format floor, PDF security restrictions, double-blind checks, and SIGACT publication-policy compliance.

# FOCS Submission
Anchor cycle: FOCS 2026 (67th edition), submissions due Wednesday, April 1,
2026, 5:00 PM EDT — a US-Eastern wall clock equal to 21:00 UTC, not an
anywhere-on-earth deadline — via `focs26.hotcrp.com` (CFP checked 2026-07-08;
that deadline has passed, so this audit now serves the next cycle: reopen the
live CFP before trusting any number here).
## What the 2026 CFP actually required
| Requirement | 2026 wording (verify per cycle) |
|---|---|
| Length | No bound; full version encouraged as the submission |
| Attention rule | Abstract + references + first **ten pages** guaranteed; the rest at the committee's discretion |
