Često postavljena pitanja
Sa kojim prosekom mogu da se takmičim?
Svako može da se takmiči sa bilo kakvim prosekom. Ako volite Rubikovu kocku i želite da upoznate druge koji je vole, trebalo bi da dođete.
Šta treba poneti sa sobom na takmičenje (osim kocki)?
Ako Vam je ovo prvo takmičenje, morate poneti neku vrstu dokumenta sa Vašom slikom i imenom (pasoš, đačka knjižica, lična karta…), kako bismo Vas identifikovali tokom registracije.
Kada treba da dođem na takmičenje?
Na takmičenje je potrebno da dođete 15-20 minuta pre početka prve kategorije u KOJOJ SE VI TAKMIČITE jer registracija može potrajati i par minuta. Ako Vam je ovo prvo takmičenje i niste upoznati sa WCA takmičenjima, molimo Vas da dođete i na Tutorijal za nove takmičare, na kom ćemo Vam objasniti kako funkcionise takmičenje i demonstrirati njegov tok.
Želim da promenim svoju registraciju, kako to da uradim?
Registraciju možete promeniti na sajtu, na tabu "Register". Promena registracije je moguća do zatvaranja registracija.
Ako se takmičim samo u subotu/nedelju, da li moram da prisustvujem oba dana?
Ne, potrebno je da budete na takmičenju samo tokom rundi u kojima se Vi takmičite.
Kako da znam u kojoj se grupi takmičim?
U toku nedelje pre takmičenja, poslaćemo Vam mejl u kojem će biti raspored takmičenja po grupama. Takođe ćete na poleđini svog taga imati svoj raspored, uključujući i grupe za koje ste sudija, raner, ili skrembler.
Za discipline sa tri runde, druga runda je podeljena u dve grupe, po plasmanu u prvoj rundi (prva grupa je donja polovina takmičara).
