Viktig informasjon

Alle deltakere må lese WCA-reglene. Deltakere forventes å kjenne til WCA sine regler, før deltakelse i en offisiell konkurranse. Hvis du vil lære om hvordan en konkurranse gjennomføres, vennligst se på denne videoen som viser dette. Å lese denne guiden er også en god ide siden den forteller det meste som en deltaker trenger å kjenne til.

Du må registrere deg for denne konkurransen online for å kunne delta! Du kan registrere deg her.

Alle nye deltakere må ta med gyldig ID. For å kunne delta som ny deltaker, må man kunne identifisere seg selv og den informasjon som ble angitt ved registreringen for denne konkurransen. Pass er gyldig ID siden det viser navn, medborgerskap og fødselsdato.

Du må være klar til å konkurrere når din gruppe starter. Du må være tilstede når grener du deltar i blir gjennomført. I tillegg må du møte opp minst 20 minutter før den første grenen du deltar i for å ha tid til å registrere deg. Det anbefales å være i lokalet 20 minutter før din neste gren, siden skjemaet kan endres i forhold til hva som ble opprinnelig annonsert.

Fotografering med blits er forbudt i hele konkurranselokalet! Blits er meget forstyrrende for konkurrentene. Foto uten blits er tillatt.

Tilskuere må ikke oppholde seg nærmere enn 1,5 meter fra løsningsstasjonene og konkurransearealet. Dette kan forstyrre deltakerne eller påvirke konkurranseflyten.

Du må ikke diskutere blandingene før den aktuelle runden er ferdig! Dette er grunnlag for diskvalifisering.

Sjekk eposten din! Noen få dager før konkurransen vil det bli sendt ut epost der viktig informasjon om konkurransen blir formidlet. Denne eposten kommer til å inneholde de endringer som kanskje har blitt gjort etter annonseringen av konkurranen.
Hvis det er viktig informasjon som må ut til deltakerne, så blir den formidlet gjennom epost. Det er derfor viktig at du sjekker eposten din regelmessig, spesielt i uken før konkurransen.

Important info

All competitors must read the WCA regulations. Participants are expected to know WCA's regulations before attending an official competition. If you want to get a better idea of how the competition works already, please check this video which will show you this. Reading through this guide. is also a good idea since it shows most things a competitor needs to know.

You must be registered for this competition online in order to compete! You can register here.

All new competitors should bring a valid ID. To be allowed to compete as a new competitor, you need to be able to identify yourself and the information you provided us when you registered for this competition. A passport is a good example of a valid ID since it shows all necessary information, such as name, nationality and date of birth.

You must be ready to compete when your group starts. You need to be present at the venue during the events in which you plan to attend. However, you need to be present at the venue no later than 20 minutes before your first event starts so that you have enough time to complete the registration. It is however always recommended to be at the venue at least 20 minutes before your next event, since the schedule may differ slightly from what was previously announced.

No flash photography in the entire venue! Flash is distracting to the competitors. Pictures without the use of flash are allowed.

Spectators should remain 1,5 meters away from the solving stations and the competition area. Otherwise, you might distract other competitors or disrupt the competition flow.

You are not allowed to talk about the scrambles until the round is done! Otherwise, you might get disqualified.

Check your e-mail! A few days before the competition, you will receive a participant email where we will address various important information for participants to know. This email will also include any changes made since the competition was announced. If there is any other urgent information which we need to communicate to competitors, then it will be done through e-mail so therefore it is important that you check your e-mail regularly, especially in the week leading up to the competition

Nye Konkurrenter

Dersom dette er din første WCA-konkurranse ønsker vi deg hjertelig velkommen! Vi har samlet en del nyttig informasjon, og anbefaler at du leser deg opp på dette før du skal konkurrere.

Alle nye konkurrenter må vise ID før de konkurrerer. Dette er for å bekrefte navn, fødselsdato og nasjonalitet slik at du kan få opprettet en WCA-ID. Registrering pleier alltid å være enten i forkant av, eller like etter ‘Competitor Tutorial’ på timeplanen. Dersom du mangler ID bør du kontakte arrangørene i forkant, så skal vi finne en løsning.

Alle konkurrenter er ansvarlige for å ha kjennskap til WCA Reglementene, les deg opp på dem. En forenklet versjon av reglene kan leses her.

Vær oppmerksom på at timeplanen kan endres på i løpet av dagen. Dersom forrige gren er ferdig startes den neste med en gang. Det er derfor viktig å være tilstede på lokalet i god tid! Vi anbefaler å være der minst 20 minutter før du skal konkurrere.

Dersom du har spørsmål kan du sende en mail til arrangørene, så hjelper vi deg gjerne!

New Competitors

If this is your first WCA competition, welcome! We’ve collected the most important information to be aware of in this tab. We recommend reading this before competing for the first time.

All new competitors must bring a valid ID to confirm their personal details before a WCA-ID can be claimed on the website. Registration of new competitors tends to be just after the Competitor Tutorial. If you do not have a valid ID, please contact the organizers beforehand, and we’ll sort it out.

All competitors must have read the WCA Regulations. A simplified version of the most important regulations can also be found in this document.

The schedule might change throughout the day. We will start new events as soon as previous rounds have concluded. We therefore recommend all competitors to be present at least 20 minutes before they’re scheduled to compete.

If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact the organizers, as we are happy to help!

Time limit

If you reach the time limit during your solve, the judge will stop you and your result will be DNF (see Regulation A1a4).
A cumulative time limit may be enforced (see Regulation A1a2).

Format

The format describes how to determine the ranking of competitors based on their results. The list of allowed formats per event is described in Regulation 9b. See Regulation 9f for a description of each format.

Advancement Condition

The number of competitors shown as advancing to the next round is the planned maximum. The actual number may be lower if there are fewer competitors than expected, or if there are ties at the boundary.
