This competition features Dual Rounds for 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4.
Dual rounds are a new round format added by the WCA. This is our first time using one at Ohio State.
All competitors signed up will be able to compete in both round 1 and round 2 of each event. Then, the better of your two averages will be compared to that of other competitors to determine whether or not you advance to round 3.
This means all competitors are guaranteed to compete in two rounds of all events. The two rounds are quite far apart on our competition schedule so please make sure you stay until round 2 if you want to compete in it!
If you have any questions, please reach out to an organizer or delegate for this competition.
Links to group sheets and live results will be added closer to the competition date.
