The competitor limit for this competition is 100. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 100 competitors on that list, it means the competition is full, and any future registrants will be placed on the waitlist.

Waitlist Information
We will be keeping a waitlist for this competition. To secure a place on the waitlist once the competitor limit has been reached, simply pay the registration fee. If a competitor emails us to drop out before the cancellation deadline (Thursday, July 31, 2025 at 7:00 PM CDT), you will be notified if you are the next competitor on the waitlist. After that deadline, all remaining competitors on the waitlist will be emailed letting them know they did not get off the waitlist and will be fully refunded.

Stationary/Fixed Seating w/ Running Judges

In this format, there is no competitor waiting area and competitors will complete all their solves for the round at the same solving station.
When the competitor’s group is called, you go up to the table where your scorecard is, take your scorecard and choose any open station. You will stay at this station throughout your group. If there are no open stations, please wait a couple of minutes or see a Delegate to see if there are open stations at other stages. A station may open up as competitors from the previous group finish.
Before starting your solve, make sure the running judge has the correct numbered cover at their station. There is a number on the box.
Once you have completed your solve(s) a Running judge takes the cube cover to the scramblers.
A Running judge then drops off your puzzle and takes the next available scrambled puzzle to the corresponding competitor/station based on the number on the cube cover and proceeds to judge their attempt. NOTE: The running judge may not be judging the same competitor each time.
After each attempt, the running judge packs the solved cube and competitor scorecard in the cube cover and brings this to the scramblers.
Repeat this process until all competitors in the group have completed all their attempts.
