The Schedule tab has a detailed plan for event times, but keep in mind that the competition may drift ahead or behind slightly as the competition continues.

Competitors only need to be present for the events they're signed up to compete in; we recommend showing up at least 15 minutes in advance.

This competition's main focus is on unofficial events. We will hold certain events that will have designated time slots throughout the day, however the majority of the unofficial events will be held at certain points in the day in a schedule format that we will release more information on at a later date.

All competitors will have a 35 minute cumulative time limit to compete in as many "unofficial" events that you wish to compete in, aside from the events that have designated time slots, which will NOT count towards your cumulative time.

At the start of each section of the schedule, we will assign groups of people to be dedicated scramblers for a chunck of time. Afterwards, a new group of scramblers will take over to allow the previous group to compete.

Each competitor will be paired with another competitor who will judge each solve. And who will be expected to keep track of their partner's cumulative time limit.

All information for unofficial events can be found on the Cubing Contests website, including unofficial event Rules.
