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 cube covers with matching numbers will be available at the cube drop-off table.
- When the competitor’s group is called, the competitor goes up to that stage’s scorecard/cube dropoff table and submits their scorecard and puzzle in a numbered cube cover.
- When submitting their puzzle, the competitor takes note of the station number on their cube cover and goes to that corresponding station. Competitor will stay in this spot throughout the entire round.
- Running judge drops off puzzle(s) at the scrambling table 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 scrambling table.
- Repeat this process until all competitors in the group have completed all their attempts.
This competition is sponsored by TheCubicle! They will be providing gift cards to the podiums.
