Newcomers is being run in conjunction with Utah All-Stars on the same day in the same venue. All-Stars is an exciting opportunity for the best of Utah to compete against each other. If you are an experienced competitor, even if you don't consider yourself to be the best of the best, please consider registering for All Stars. Check out the All-Stars website to see how that competition has been designed for you. If you are a first time or less experienced competitor (competed for the first time in 2024, 2025, 2026 or otherwise consider yourself to be less experienced), we strongly encourage you to register for this competition, as the scheduling of both competitions has been tailored specifically to improve the expereince for you.

The most unique aspect of this competition is how the schedules have been interleaved. For each event, the finals All-Stars will immediately preceed the first round of the same event of this competition. Please arrive by 12:30 at the latest to check-in so that you can be ready for the competitior tutorial at 1:00. You are also welcome to come earlier in the day to watch the first rounds of All-Stars and interact with other cubers.
