Have in mind that these safety measures will be in place during this competition:

We will be requiring proof of a negative COVID-19 RTPCR test within 72 hours before the start of competition or proof of full vaccination (two doses) to enter the competition.

• Each competitor may bring at most one (1) guest. If you can come alone, that would be even better!
• Competitor MUST NOT attend this competition if he has any COVID-19 symptoms or if has been in contact with someone that is COVID-19 possitive.
• Competitor MUST wear a face mask during the entire competition. The only exception will be during lunch break.
• Please avoid sharing puzzles with others and avoid any unnecessary contact with non-family members.
• It is recommended that the competitor brings his own pen to the competition.
• After every attempt, rather than the judge putting the puzzle in the cover, the competitor is asked to put the cube into the cover at the end of the attempt.
• During this competition, we will be doing each round stationary. When your group is called, you will pick a solving station and will stay there until you have completed all of your official solves for that event.
• After each use of a solving station, the timer and mat will be disinfected for the next competitior.
• There will be no competitor waiting area.
