This competition will be hosting an 3-man relay concurrent with part of lunch. Participants will sign up in teams of three, and each team member will go one after the other. The fastest sum of all three solves will be declared the winner! The signup form for this event is open and can be found here. Due to time constraints, we will only be allowing up to 8 teams to compete.
Registration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why am I not on the competitor list yet? I already signed up and paid! | Registrations are approved manually, so it may take some time for the organizers/WCA Delegates to see and accept your registration. If you still do not see your name on the competitor list 48 hours after submitting payment, please reach out via the contact link. Please note that if registration is already full when you register and pay, you will remain on the waiting list with a pending registration status until a spot opens up. |
| How do I change my events or cancel my registration? | You are able to change your own registered events for this competition on the Register tab. If you need to cancel your registration entirely, please reach out via the contact link and an organizer or WCA Delegate will handle your request. Please note that no refunds, cancellations, event changes, etc. will be processed after the deadlines listed on the General Info tab under "Registration Requirements". |
| Are spectators or guests allowed to attend? Do they have to pay an entrance fee? | At this competition, there are no limits or fees for spectators or guests. You are welcome to attend as a friend/family member of a competitor or even just as a non-competitor who is interested in the event. |
At the Competition
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I use my own cubes to compete? | Yes, 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 more than one logo, and cubes with significantly damaged or missing stickers/pieces. |
| Do I use my own timer to compete? | No, all equipment for the competition (timers, displays, etc.) is provided by the organizers/WCA Delegates. |
| How fast do you have to be to compete? | As long as you are able to solve the puzzle within the time limit listed on the Events tab, you are fast enough to compete! |
| What will the average age of competitors be? | Most competitors are between 10 and 25 years old, with the average age usually falling in the early to mid-teens. However, all ages are welcome - everyone can and should cube! |
| Are competitors divided by gender/age/experience/any other distinction? | No, all competitors compete on the same even playing field and are recognized in the official WCA results without any distinction. |
| How do I know when exactly I will be competing? | To see what time each event takes place, check the Schedule tab. At the competition, you will receive a nametag or card with your group assignments to let you know which group you are assigned to compete in for the first round of each of your events. (Each group competes in order - group 1, then group 2, and so on.) If you advance to the next round in any event, information about group assignments for subsequent rounds will be shared at or before the time the round starts. Please be familiar with which group you are in and pay attention as they are called up throughout the day - you may not be able to compete if you miss your group. |
| What do I do while I'm not competing? | In addition to the groups you are assigned to compete in, you will also be assigned to judge throughout the day. Your judging assignments will usually come immediately after you compete (though you are welcome and encouraged to judge as much as you want - it's a fun way to get right up in the middle of the action!) When you're not judging or competing, you'll probably want to hang out at the tables with other cubers and make some new friends! |
| Can I leave in between rounds/go home early if I don't have anything to compete in? | We hope you're having enough fun to stay through the whole day, but you are welcome to leave in between rounds or go home early for the day. Please return at least 15 minutes early for any later round you plan to compete in just in case the competition is running ahead of schedule. If you go home for the day before a subsequent round that you advanced to, though, please let the organizers know so they can accept someone else to the round in your place. |
Results
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where do I find my results during the competition? | During the competition, you can see results on WCA Live as they are entered. Please note that all results are entered by hand and there may be delays depending on the availability of volunteers to enter data. |
| How will I know if I made it to the next round? | As the results are entered on WCA Live, the competitors whose names are highlighted in dark green are the ones who will be advancing to the next round. (Names highlighted in light green are in a position to advance at the moment but still have the potential to be bumped out as more results are entered.) Please note that the advancing competitors are not 100% locked in until every competitor's results are entered - you can scroll down to the bottom of the page to see if anyone is still missing results. |
| Where do I find my results after the competition? | Within a week of the end of the competition, the results of the competition will be uploaded on the main WCA website and will appear on your WCA profile. You will receive an email notification when this happens. |
If you have any other question about the competition that's not answered here, you can always reach out via the contact link and we'll get back to you shortly!
