What is the competition like?
Competitions are a bunch of tables where nerds like us get to sit and discuss our favorite thing, cubes! Of course in addition there is competing, which will occupy one side of the competition hall, where you will see lots of timers flickering with contestants new personal bests. Most competitions have a break for lunch, and the competing is split up into groups, as to better organize who competes when. (Check the Groups tab and listen at the competition for more info on this.)
How do I find results?
All results are posted on the WCA page a couple of days after the competition finishes. During the competition, WCA Live will have everybody's results. This is also where you will find information about who made it to the 2nd and 3rd rounds of events.
