The Instruction Booklet has been published. Please note any issues here, they'll be addressed by the second version.

If I understand the rules of Bhai Bahan correctly, if a circle has clue N with the segment doing a 90 degrees turns , then there needs to be N orthogonally connected cells also doing 90 degree turns in that segment before it goes straight through any other cell. Correct?

And the same goes for for the other type of clues (Bahan)

Yes

The cell itself is counted so there will be N-1 other cells that also have turns in that segment, and once the turns are done it has to go straight on both sides at least one cell to "break" the segment.

New version of the IB is uploaded.

Changes:
1 - Points distribution added
2 - PB page count added
3 - Discrepancies in the presentation of Canal View and Heterocut have been fixed to be consistent with the IB. Please review the examples (and rule text in case of Canal View) to see how these puzzles will look in the contest.

Contest start postponed by 60 minutes.
