ALL COMPETITORS MUST READ THIS TAB BEFORE REGISTERING.
Competitions rely on volunteers to happen! All the staff at competitions are volunteers, and we need your help to have a successful competition. Helping out by running and judging is invaluable and keeps the competition on schedule. Everyone can help, this includes first time competitors and even siblings and parents! Staffing is easy and we are happy to help get you started, and it is a great way to make time fly!
Before the competition, you will receive assignments to compete, as well as to staff (judging, running, or possibly scrambling). You are required to show up for these staffing assignments unless you communicate with the organizers of the competition prior to the assignment. Failure to do so may result in disqualification from one or multiple events.
For second rounds and finals, we will not have assigned staff, and we will rely on volunteers to make the competition run. We really appreciate it if we get volunteers, but if you are asked to staff by a delegate when you are available you must do so to avoid the same risk of disqualification.
BY REGISTERING, YOU AGREE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND WILL FOLLOW ALL THE INFORMATION LISTED ABOVE.
This competition is proudly sponsored by The Cubicle. Check out their fantastic selection of puzzles on thecubicle.com!
More sponsors may be announced prior to the competition.
