Informazioni per i nuovi partecipanti

Se sei un nuovo partecipante, è importante conoscere bene il Regolamento. Il regolamento è molto lungo e ci sono molti dettagli da conoscere, dunque non preoccuparti se non ti ricordi tutto! Per questo motivo, abbiamo un video che spiega la procedura delle gare che raccomandiamo di vedere prima di competere: Tutorial. Faremo anche un’introduzione che si svolgerà nell'orario indicato nell programma che ti raccomandiamo di seguire.

I nuovi concorrenti devono portare un documento da mostrare alla gara per confermare il nome, il paese per cui vogliono competere e la data di nascita usati nell’iscrizione. I documenti portati di solito sono passaporti, certificati di nascita, patenti di guida, etc. Se c’è il nome, la data di nascita e il paese va bene.

Se hai delle domande, raccomandiamo di guardare nelle FAQ se è già stato chiesto. Ma sei più che benvenuto a contattarci dal link nella pagina delle informazioni generali.

Informazioni per tutti i partecipanti

  • Per favore aiuta a giudicare! Come partecipante, se desideri aiutare il modo più semplice è giudicare. L'aiuto serve principalmente nei secondi turni e nelle finali perchè i giudici non sono assegnati precedentemente. La scelta di giudicare è volontaria e gradita, ma se ti viene richiesto di farlo sei obbligato. Se ti rifiuti di farlo siamo autorizzati a squalificarti dalla competizione come ricorda la Regola 1e2. Se sei un genitore, puoi comunque dare una mano, è molto semplice!
  • Ricordate che i puzzle con gli sticker Carbon-Fiber non sono autorizzati, e accertatevi che i vostri cubi siano ok per quanto riguarda i loghi (vedi regolamento).
  • Per favore NON parlare degli scramble o delle tue soluzioni nell'area partecipanti come da Regola 2g3, rischi di annullare le risoluzioni di tutti.
  • Durante gli eventi da bendato, per favore mantieni il silenzio in sala. Questi eventi richiedono grande concentrazione e ogni rumore può causare una distrazione. Sarà annunciato il momento in cui inizia l'evento e il momento in cui potrete tornare a parlare.
  • NON FATE FOTO CON IL FLASH in nessuna occasione. Distrae i partecipanti.
  • Se sei uno spettatore, per favore rimani a 1.5m dalle postazioni sempre, come specificato nella Regola 7b. Se stai riprendendo un partecipante per favore rimani al di fuoir dell'area partecipanti.
  • Abbi rispetto della sala, butta via i rifiuti nei bidoni, o portali via con te per mantenere un ambiente pulito e ordinato.
  • Ci sono migliaia di puzzle a questi eventi, stai attento a non lasciare in giro i tuoi per non perderli! Suggeriamo di metterli in una borsa e non perderla mai di vista. Se ti capitasse di perdere un puzzle, contattaci su mailto:board@swisscubing.ch., e probabile che qualcuno ce lo abbia portato.
  • Scatteremo fotografie alla competizione che saranno visionabili sui nostri social media e sul nostro sito. Partecipando alla gara accetti che potresti essere fotografato per questo scopo.

Informationen für alle Teilnehmer

  • Bitte hilf zu judgen! Deine Einteilung als Judge ist als absolutes Minimum zu erfüllen. Weil zweite und dritte Runden keine Einteilungen von Judges haben, brauchen wir viele Teilnehmer die helfen zu judgen wann immer möglich.

Auch Eltern dürfen mit judgen aushelfen, es ist wirklich einfach!
  • Bitte beachte dass Carbon-Fiber Puzzles nicht erlaubt sind und dass deine Würfel den Regulations entsprechen.
  • Sprich NIEMALS über Scrambles oder Lösungen während die Runde im Gang ist. Siehe dazu Regulation 2g3.

  • Wenn du zuschauen möchtest, beachte bitte den Mindestabstand von 1.5m den es laut Regulation 7b einzuhalten gilt. Wenn du einen Teilnehmer filmen möchtest beachte bitte dass du ausserhalb des Teilnehmerbereichs stehst.
  • Bitte behandle die Venue mit Respekt. Entsorge deinen Müll fachgerecht oder nimm ihn nach Hause und halte deinen Platz sauber.
  • An einer Competition gibt es immer tausende von Puzzles. Behalte deshalb deine Puzzles im Auge und lasse sie möglichst nicht herumliegen. Falls du doch ein Puzzle verlierst, kontaktiere uns via mailto:board@swisscubing.ch.
  • Für unsere Social Media Kanäle und unsere Website werden wir Videos und Fotos aufnehmen. Als Teilnehmer oder Gast dieser Competition akzeptierst du dass du für diese Zwecke gefilmt oder fotografiert werden könntest.

Informations pour tous les participants

S’il te plaît aide à juger! En tant que compétiteur, tes affectations sont le minimum que tu devrais faire pour aider. Comme les deuxièmes, troisièmes tours et les finales n'ont pas de juges assignés, nous avons vraiment besoin de gens pour aider le plus souvent possible. Si tu es appelé personnelement à juger, s'il te plaît juge pour le reste du tour en cours. Si tu refuses, nous sommes en droit de te disqualifier de la compétition comme le stipule la Règle 1e2. Les parents sont également invités à juger, ce n’est pas difficile et cela aide énormément.

Ne parle pas des mélanges ou des solutions pendant le tour en cours. Règle 2g3.
Durant les épreuves à l'aveugle, reste silencieux dans la salle. Ces épreuves demandent une très grande concentration et le bruit peut être distrayant. Nous annoncerons quand le silence doit commencer et quand tu pourras de nouveau parler dans la salle.
Il est interdit de photographier avec un flash, cela gène beaucoup les compétiteurs.
En tant que spectateur, respecte s’il te plaît la distance minimum de 1,5 m avec le compétiteur : Règle 7b. Si tu es en train de filmer quelqu'un, reste s'il te plaît hors de la zone de compétition.
Traite le local avec respect. Jette tes déchets de manière adéquate et garde ta place propre.
À une compétition, il y a toujours des milliers de cubes. Garde tes cubes à l’oeil et ne les laisse si possible pas traîner. Si tu perds un cube, tu peux nous contacter via mailto:board@swisscubing.ch.
Nous prendrons des photos et des vidéos de la compétition pour nos réseaux sociaux. En se rendant à la compétition en tant que compétiteur ou visiteur, tu acceptes d'être filmé ou photographié pour ces raisons.

Newcomer Information

If you are a newcomer, it is important that you are familiar with the Regulations. The regulations are very long and are quite a lot to take in so don't worry if you don't remember it all! Because of this, we have a video that explains the competing procedure which we recommend to watch before attending: Competing Tutorial. We will also be holding a 'Judging Tutorial' which we recommend you attend as well.

The items of identification that will be accepted are ID cards, Passports, Birth Certificates, Driver's Licenses, etc. As long as it has your name, date of birth, and country, then it will be fine.

If you have any questions, we recommend that you check the FAQ in case it has been asked before. But you are more than welcome to contact us at the link on the General Info page.

Information for All Competitors

  • Please help judge! As a competitor, your judging assignments are the absolute minimum you should be doing to help out. As second rounds, third rounds and finals have no assigned judges, we really need people to help out whenever available for these. If you are directly asked to judge, please go and judge for the remainder of the round in progress. If you do not comply then we are within our rights to disqualify you from the competition as per Regulation 1e2. If you're a parent you can also get involved with running and judging, it's really easy!
  • Please note that Carbon-Fiber puzzles are not permitted, and please make sure your cube complies with logo regulations!
  • Please DO NOT talk about the scrambles or your solutions whilst the round is in progress as per Regulation 2g3.
  • During blindfolded events, please stay silent within the venue. These events require a high amount of concentration and any noise can be distracting. We will announce when the silence will begin and when you may talk within the venue again.
  • No flash photography under any circumstance within the venue. It is extremely distracting for competitors.
  • If you are a spectator, please stay 1.5m away from competitors at all times as per Regulation 7b. If you are filming someone competing, please stay out of the competitor area.
  • Please treat the venue with respect, put all of your rubbish in bins, black bin bags, or take it home with you and keep your area tidy.
  • There are thousands of puzzles at these events, make sure to keep yours together so you don't lose them! Keeping them in a bag and looking after it at all times is recommended. If you do lose a puzzle, please contact us here: mailto:board@swisscubing.ch.
