Those details are deliberately left pending. In addition, players should ask whether the competition uses Swiss, round-robin, or another format and whether results are submitted for FIDE or national rating. Mountain arrival times can be affected by weather and hiking pace. Therefore, the organizer’s check-in deadline may be as important as the first-round time. Pairings and standings should be checked in the official results file after every round.
