Competition
This competition is only holding blindfolded events, Fewest Moves, 3x3x3 With Feet, and Clock. There will be no "standard" speedsolving events like 2x2 or 3x3. There will be other competitions in the area with more standard events if those are what you prefer.

The only events Friday evening are Attempt 1 of 3x3x3 Multiple-Blindfolded and Attempt 1 of Fewest Moves. If you are not participating in these events you do not need to show up on Friday.

Registration Fee
There is a $25 registration fee for the event, payable through the WCA Stripe payment system. Your registration will not be confirmed (moved from the waiting list) until payment has been completed.

Please note that even after payment, registrations need to be manually approved before appearing on the registration list.

There is a 30 competitor limit to the competition. Registration closes at the end of the day on November 1st. We will grant 50% refunds to those who let us know before November 1st, but no refunds are granted after that date.

This competition is recognized as an official World Cube Association competition. Therefore, all competitors should be familiar with the WCA regulations. If you are new to competing, you may want to look at CubingUSA's Competitor Tutorial.

Lunch
There are a variety of food option in the Memorial Union. These options include Panda Express, Togo's (sandwhiches), and Joe's Burgers. There are a couple other cafe style restaurants as well as a small convenient store style shop. Of course, you are also welcome to go elsewhere on or off campus for lunch.
