There are multiple things a first-timer must know before competing. All newcomers must be familiar with the WCA Regulations before competing. There is a video here for the basic overview of the rules.
ALL COMPETITORS:
All competitors are expected to help out at this competition. In addition to your competing groups, all competitors will receive groups in which they are expected to either judge, scramble, or run.

If you do not show up for your assignments, your times may be subject to disqualification.

Rules for parking on campus can be found here.
