ALL COMPETITORS MUST READ THIS TAB BEFORE REGISTERING.
Before the competition, you will receive groups with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in or helping for each event in an email. We will be relying on competitors to help by judging or scrambling if needed whenever they are not competing as this competition is extremely small. Please be prepared to help and to potentially stay for the entire day.
We will provide a brief judging and competitor tutorial for fewest moves and blind events at the beginning of the day. This will allow anyone with questions about how to judge to be properly prepared when they are expected to help.
Due to the size of the competition, this is all hands on deck and EVERYONE will be helping throughout the day. If you do not contribute, do not expect to receive contribution back. Spectators are encouraged to learn how to judge; you do not need to know how to cube in order to be a great judge. Having enough judges ensures that we stay on schedule and are able to leave on time.
This event is open to cubers of any age and experience, however please keep in mind that these events are not normal speedsolving events.
Please be familiar with the WCA Regulations, found here, especially with the rules of Fewest Moves solving and blindfolded events as these will be the full event.
