.Each event will consist of multiple rounds, as indicated by the schedule. After a round is completed and is completely entered on WCA Live, the competitors whose names are highlighted will be the ones moving on to the next round. To check if the round is complete, scroll down to the bottom and see if all listed competitors have results. If there are competitors without results, the round is not completely entered yet and the next round has not been finalized.
Each round will be divided into groups to help them run more efficiently. Competitors will be assigned to groups based on previous times. Your group assignments can be found on the pre-competition email and on the card in the back of your lanyard. We will call the groups in order, along with a last call during the last group. Please come bring your puzzle up and wait in the competitor waiting area when your group is called. We are allowed to deny you the ability to compete if you do not come up by the last call.
Competitors are expected to help judge. You will be assigned to judge as indicated in the group assignments sheet.
.You are responsible for providing your own puzzles. Be sure to review Article 3 of the WCA regulations and confirm that your puzzles are competition legal before the event. Some examples of non-legal puzzles are electronic cubes (such as Giiker, GOcube, or GAN356i), cubes with carbon fiber stickers, cubes with logos on more than one piece, and cubes with significantly damaged or missing stickers/pieces. Please also note that if you are competing in blindfolded events, your cube must not have any logos.
You are welcome to film your solves; however, make sure all screens of any cameras or phones you have on the table are facing away from you and that you do not touch them during the attempt—otherwise, this will result in a DNF.
