• This competition will be divided into 2 groups of 12 competitors. Your group will be assigned on the morning of the event, and will remain consistent throughout the entire competition for all event pairs. Competitors must help judge/scramble for the group in which they're not solving.

• All competitors MUST arrive by 9:15am and stay until the end of their registered events, regardless of which group they are assigned to compete in. Any competitor who does not arrive at this time or attempts to leave early will be subject to disqualification, including at future competitions.

• Events will be run in pairs with cumulative time limits. Times for any DNFs must be recorded in parentheses.

• When called for a pair of events, competitors may do the events in any order they wish. Once they've started an event, they must complete all solves for that event or DNS the remaining solves before moving on to the other paired event. You may not switch events from solve to solve.

• If you are expecting a result over 8 minutes, please inform the Delegate/Judge. This will allow us to properly use a stopwatch to time the attempt in addition to the stackmat timer, so that if you exceed 10 minutes the time can be accurately taken from the stopwatch.

• If you are expecting a result over 3 minutes, please inform the Delegate/Judge. Attempts expected to go over 3 minutes will be float judged, to ensure judges can perform their assignment efficiently, and to ensure all competitors can complete their solves in a timely manor.

We will be hosting a location for FMC under the Mistletoe in this room from 12pm to 4pm. Registration is free, but must be completed separately. Register here.

TheCubicle will be providing prizes for the winners.

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.

Stationary/Fixed Seating w/ Running Judges

In this format, there is no competitor waiting area and competitors will complete all their solves for the round at the same solving station. Each solving station is numbered and a cube cover will be already at the station with a matching number.

1. When the competitor’s group is called, the competitor goes up to that stage’s scorecard table and collects their scorecard.

2. Competitor goes to any open solving station with their scorecard and puzzle.
   If there are no open stations, please wait a couple of minutes or see a Delegate.

3. Competitor makes sure they have the correct numbered cover at their station. Competitor puts their puzzle and their scorecard in the numbered cube cover and holds it for a “running judge” to pick up. Competitor will stay in this spot throughout the entire round.

4. Running judge takes the cube cover(s) to the scramblers.

5. Running judge drops off their puzzle(s) and takes the next available scrambled puzzle to the corresponding competitor/station based on the number on the cube cover and proceeds to judge their attempt.
   NOTE: The running judge may not be judging the same competitor each time.

6. After each attempt, the running judge packs the solved cube and competitor scorecard in the cube cover and brings this to the scramblers.

7. Repeat this process until all competitors in the group have completed all their attempts.
