Schedule for Saturday (February 10, 2024)
As a non-official side event, we are excited to have the Battle of Alberta! We will sort competitors by Northern and Southern Alberta, with HWY 11 being the cut off.
For the scoring of the Battle of Alberta side classification, for 3x3, 2x2 and Pyraminx (first round only), we will use the best 25 competitors of the north group vs the best 25 competitors of the south group.
We will average their times per group and the fastest group will get 1 point.
For 5x5 and megaminx we will do the same with the top 15 per group.
This way there are 5 points to give away, but there's more!
If someone gets a Canadian record Ao5 in any of the events (including finals) that group gets an additional 2 points per record.
In the rare case the groups north and south get the same average times, the 25 vs 25 getting the same time, then the best Ao5 of the first round will win the point.
If those are the same, then the best single of the first round will win the point. If that is still the same time, the point for that event will be decided by coin flip
The group with the biggest amount of points wins the Battle of Alberta!
Wear your favourite jersey! We encourage competitors and guests to wear their Flames, Oilers, or other sports team wear of their choice, as we hope to create a fun Battle of Alberta atmosphere!
For first-time competitors:
There are multiple things a first-timer must know before competing. All newcomers must be familiar with the WCA Regulations before competing. Watch this video for the basic overview of the rules.
In addition, please read this WCA Competition Tutorial before coming to the competition to learn about the procedures for judging.
All competitors:
When you arrive, you will receive a card/nametag with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in for each event. In addition, you will also receive staffing assignments. All competitors are expected to help at this competition. For each event you sign up for, you will be assigned to help out for just one group of that event.
We will provide a judging tutorial at the beginning of the day. This will allow anyone with questions about how to judge to be properly prepared when they are expected to help. We hope that this system will fairly divide up the judging of the competition and make the competition run smoothly for all.

Spectators must remain at least 1.5 meters away from the solving stations when they are in use, as per Article 7b of the WCA Regulations. No flash photography is permitted.
