Schedule for Saturday (October 15, 2022)
This competition has been set up to use competitiongroups.com. At https://www.competitiongroups.com/competitions/SummitBigCubeShowdown2022 you can see all of your assignments, as well as a personal schedule of when you will need to be doing what. Please remember that the times provided are estimates, and are subject to change if we are running ahead of or behind schedule.
You can also see your group assignments as they are traditionally provided here. These competitor cards will be available for you when you arrive at the competition, but we also encourage that you screenshot your assignments in case the printed ones get lost.
We are looking for dedicated staff members to help ensure the competition runs smoothly! If you are an experienced competitor and would like to be staff at this competition, please fill out the application below.
https://forms.gle/7yteZuZHXG3hQzr58
Staff are expected to be up front helping to run the competition the majority of the day, and you will also be assigned extra staffing assignments throughout the day. Staff will receive a free lunch on the day of the competition, and will have their registration fees refunded if after the competition it is determined they were helpful in their role.
ALL COMPETITORS MUST READ THIS TAB BEFORE REGISTERING.
Before the competition, you will receive a card/nametag with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in for each event in an email. We will be relying on competitors to help by judging whenever they are not competing, especially with our small competition size. Judging is very easy, and is a great way to make time fly!
We will provide a judging and competitor tutorial at the beginning of the day, right after 5x5 Blindfolded, which will also overview our procedures. This will allow anyone with questions about how to judge to be properly prepared when they are expected to help.
We will need help judging for the second/final rounds of events as we can not assign staff for those in advance. Spectators are encouraged to learn how to judge; you do not need to know how to cube in order to be a great judge. Having enough judges ensures that we stay on schedule and are able to leave on time.

1. Although masks are not required, we still recommend that you wear one during the competition
2. 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 you a full refund.

7. Officials and staff will be following special procedures to continue to lower chance of transmission of COVID-19, such as utilizing sanitizer frequently and distancing.
Additional rules may be added as deemed necessary by the organizers, the WCA Board, or the local or state government.
