Current UPenn students are entitled to free registration. Please leave your Penn email in the registration comment and pay the fee. We will refund if you are qualified.
March 2025 is WCA newcomer month, so we will have newcomer (competitors attending their first competition, or who have a 2025 WCA ID) podium for 3×3, based on the result of 3×3 round 1.
We recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes before your first event because there are no set times for each group. If your first event is later in the day, you do not have to arrive until then. Missing your group risks potential disqualification from the event.
Groups will be posted and sent in an email a few days before the competition. When it is time to compete, groups will be called instead of individual participants.
Food and drinks are NOT permitted inside the main room. You may eat elsewhere in Houston Hall. There are a few restaurants within a ten minute walk/drive.
Live results will be posted on WCA Live.
