ALL COMPETITORS MUST READ THIS TAB BEFORE REGISTERING.

FOR FIRST-TIME COMPETITORS:

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.

In addition, please read this document before coming to the competition to learn about the procedures for judging.

ALL COMPETITORS:

When you arrive, you will receive a card/nametag with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in for each event. In addition, you will also receive staffing assignments. All competitors are expected to help at this competition. For each event you sign up for, you will be assigned to help out for just one group of that event. If you do not arrive to help during your scheduled event, and there are not enough staff members, we reserve the right to disqualify you from competing.

We will provide a judging tutorial at the beginning of the day, right before the start of the 3x3x3 speedsolve event. This will allow anyone with questions about how to judge to be properly prepared when they are expected to help. We hope that this system will fairly divide up the judging of the competition and make the competition run smoothly for all.

As of announcing this competition, we are not currently planning to require masks or vaccination/negative test status to attend this event, and will not be limiting guests. However, we reserve the right to implement a mask requirement and/or a vaccine/negative test requirement if the COVID-19 situation significantly worsens by the competition.

As of now, we ask all competitors to adhere to the following recommendations:

1. Competitors should not attend the competition if experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or if they were exposed to someone with COVID-19. If this occurs to you, the organizers will offer the competitor a full refund.
2. When not competing, competitors and spectators should attempt to socially distance whenever possibly by keeping 3 feet away from others.
3. When eating, we encourage competitors to eat only with members of your household, use proper social distancing, and/or eat outside the venue.

Remember that you must have a paid registration to be placed on the waiting list.

This will be a loosely Halloween themed competition, there will be decorations, a photo-back drop, and shirts.

Costumes are encouraged, but must be appropriate. Please no blood/gore/or possibly violent or offensive costumes. If a costume is deemed inappropriate by one of the delegates, you will be required to change. If you refuse, you may be disqualified (regulation 2H).

Due to the theming of the competition, we will have a special, unofficial event! We will be hosting a single round of Rubik’s Magic before the awards presentation. Anyone who can solve the puzzle may compete!

Lastly, to top off the Halloween festivities, we will be having a costume competition as well. The winner will be decided by the competition staff through a vote, and announced directly after lunch.
