Expectations and Clarifications
- You are expected to be familiar with the WCA Regulations and Guidelines. Article A is most important for speedsolving events
- You are expected to help judge. You must judge for at least one group of every event you compete in.
- If you want a refresher on how to compete or judge you can read the WCA Competitor Tutorial.
- You must NOT talk about scrambles or what specific algorithm(s) you did while the event is still in progress. This is considered cheating and grounds for disqualification (Regulation 2g3)
- Make sure all screens of any cameras or phones you have on the table are facing away from you and do not touch them during the attempt, otherwise this will result in a DNF (Regulation 2i2). Electronic/bluetooth cubes (ex. Giiker cube, GOcube, GAN356i) are not permitted under the same regulation.
- Please treat the venue with respect, pick up any trash, and leave the venue better than how you found it. We are not responsible for your belongings or puzzles. Keep track of your own belongings/puzzles and be respectful of others.
Spectators/Families
- Spectators (parents, siblings, friends) are allowed to come watch for free. No prior registration required.
- Flash photography is NOT allowed in the venue as it is very distracting.
- It would be wonderful if we could get some volunteer help from the parents. This would require either being present at the judging tutorial or to have someone teach you how to judge later in the day. Judge for however long you'd feel like. It's an excellent way to make the time fly by!
Live Results and Schedule
- You can find live results for the competition on WCA Live. A few days after the competition the results will be uploaded to WCA officially.
- We reserve the right to alter the schedule in any way. We may alter the number of competitors proceeding to the next round. We may eliminate a round altogether. This all depends on if we run ahead or behind of the planned schedule.
- We may use regulation 9p3 for all final rounds. If you are not present when a final starts, you will be withdrawn from that final.
People You Should Know
- The organizer of this competition is Dalton Padgett.
- Your delegate for this competition is Cady Shields.Ask them if you have any questions throughout the day!

For those of you new to cubing, WELCOME!
We wanted to let you know this event is perfectly fine for cubers of any age and experience. We just ask you know a couple things before coming to compete...
First, please be familiar with the WCA Regulations, found here:
https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/
This video will help explain most of what any cuber competing for the first time will need to know. It is highly suggested that parents watch this video as well.
If you have any questions after this video, we will be having a new competitor tutorial in the morning of the competition. That would be the perfect time to ask those questions and clear up any confusion.
If you are stoked to compete and ready to sign up, head over to the registration tab, click register, and fill out the information it asks for. This will help you get set up the WCA's system and one step closer to your first official solve!
Additionally:
* Please bring some form of identification. This will be used to verify your name, birthday, and nationality. (something like a passport or school ID).
* Please be familiar with all WCA regulations, most importantly Article A. If you have any questions about the regulations, feel free to ask us.
* In each event we will have rounds. We will take the top competitors on to the subsequent rounds. After a round is completed results will be entered into WCA Live. Your name will be highlighted if you made it to the next round.
* Each round will be divided into groups to help them run more efficiently. We will call the groups in order, along with a last call. Please come bring your solved puzzle up and wait in the competitor waiting area whenever your group is called. We are allowed to deny you the ability to compete if you do not come up by the last call.

Most competitions have a break for lunch, and the competing is split up into groups, as to better organize who competes when. (Check the Groups tab and listen at the competition for more info on this.)

Hello Carolina Day Cube competitors and waitlist,
The WCA competition Carolina Day Cube 2020 held in Asheville, North Carolina on May 17th is cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. This is following the current directive of the WCA Board. And obviously the t-shirt order is cancelled since the competition is not happening.
We will issue full refunds in the coming week. However, there is a processing fee taken out of every transaction. Refunding everyone will put the local cubing fund into debt. Additionally we have already paid the downpayment on the North Carolina Championship venue, so there is very little money in the NC cubing fund account.
If you would like to donate your registration fee to the NC cubing fund to help make up for this loss please let me know in the next 48 hours. When you email me please include the full name of the competitor. You can reply to this email or reach me directly at cshields@worldcubeassociation.org. And I sincerely thank you for this donation.
If we don't hear from you, you will be fully refunded. We understand that many people are facing financial troubles due to the virus.
Stripe can take over 10 business days for the refund to fully process, so please be patient.
Stay safe and healthy! I hope I get to see you guys soon!
Kind regards,
Cady Shields
WCA Delegate- North Carolina, USA
