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. Thanks to Olivér Perge and Niki Placskó for providing this detailed judging information document.

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 (except Fewest Moves), 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.

December 16-17, 2017

Location:
Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino
3700 W Flamingo Rd
Las Vegas, NV 89103

Registration Fee:
There is a $50 registration fee for the competition. Starting November 1st, this registration fee will increase to $75. Your registration will not be confirmed (moved from the waiting list) until payment has been completed. Please note that even after payment, registrations need to be manually approved before appearing on the registration list.

There is a 100 competitor limit to the competition. Registration closes at 11PM on Thursday, November 30th. We will grant refunds to those who let us know before the close of registration, but no refunds are granted after that date. No registrations will be accepted after registration has closed.

UPDATE: We will now accept walk-on registrations for this event. Please arrive promptly at 9am to be considered so we can assign you to groups. If you plan on only attending Saturday, the registration fee will be $75, and if you plan on attending both days, the registration will be $100.

This competition is recognized as an official World Cube Association competition. Therefore, all competitors should be familiar with the WCA regulations. If you are new to competing, you may want to look at CubingUSA's Competitor Tutorial.
