Stationary Competing

This competition will be using a fixed seating setup for competing – this is different from how many other competitions in the U.S. operate. With fixed seating, competitors stay at their stations for the duration of their attempts – there will be no waiting area. The general process is as follows:

1. When the competitor’s group is called, the competitor goes up to that stage’s scorecard table and collects their scorecard.

2. Competitor goes to any open solving station with their scorecard and puzzle.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Running judge takes the cube cover(s) to the scramblers.

6. 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.

1. After each attempt, the running judge packs the solved cube and competitor scorecard in the cube cover and brings this to the scramblers.

2. Repeat this process until all competitors in the group have completed all their attempts.

As a reminder to all competitors: you are not allowed to watch your neighboring competitors complete their solves, as this raises concerns about gaining additional information about the scrambles. Competitors who are suspected of attempting to gain an advantage may be subject to disqualification.

We will be demonstrating the Running Judges system during the new-competitor tutorial before 4x4. Throughout the competition, delegates will be stationed near the scorecard pick-up table to address any questions you may have.
