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. Each solving station is numbered and a cube cover will be already at the station with a matching number.

When the competitor’s group is called, the competitor goes up to that stage’s scorecard table and collects their scorecard.
Competitor goes to any open solving station with their scorecard and puzzle. 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.
Competitor makes sure they have the correct numbered cover at their station. Competitor puts their puzzle and their scorecard in the numbered cube cover and holds it for a “running judge” to pick up. Competitor will stay in this spot throughout the entire round.
Running judge takes the cube cover(s) to the scramblers.
Running judge drops off their puzzle(s) 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.

Time limit

If you reach the time limit during your solve, the judge will stop you and your result will be DNF (see Regulation A1a4).

Cutoff

The result to beat to proceed to the second phase of a cutoff round (see Regulation 9g).

Format
