Expectations and Clarifications
- You are expected to be familiar with the WCA Regulations and Guidelines. Article A is most important for speedsolving events
- You are expected to help judge. You must judge for at least one group of every event you compete in.
- If you want a refresher on how to compete or judge you can read the WCA Competitor Tutorial.
- You must NOT talk about scrambles or what specific algorithm(s) you did while the event is still in progress. This is considered cheating and grounds for disqualification (Regulation 2g3)
- Make sure all screens of any cameras or phones you have on the table are facing away from you and do not touch them during the attempt, otherwise this will result in a DNF (Regulation 2i2). Electronic/bluetooth cubes (ex. Giiker cube, GOcube, GAN356i) are not permitted under the same regulation.
- Please treat the venue with respect, pick up any trash, and leave the venue better than how you found it.
- We are not responsible for your belongings or puzzles. Keep track of your own belongings/puzzles and be respectful of others and their belongings.
Spectators/Families
- Spectators (parents, siblings, friends) are allowed to come watch for free. No prior registration required.
- Flash photography is NOT allowed in the venue as it is very distracting.
- It would be wonderful if we could get some volunteer help from the parents. This would require either being present at the judging tutorial or to have someone teach you how to judge later in the day. Judge for however long you'd feel like. It's an excellent way to make the time fly by!

- In each event we will have rounds. We will take the top competitors on to the subsequent rounds. After a round is completed results will be entered into WCA Live. Your name will be highlighted if you made it to the next round.
- Each round will be divided into groups to help them run more efficiently. We will call the groups in order, along with a last call. Please come bring your solved puzzle up and wait in the competitor waiting area whenever your group is called.
