ALL COMPETITORS MUST READ THIS TAB BEFORE REGISTERING.

FOR FIRST-TIME COMPETITORS:

There are multiple things a first-timer must know before competing. All newcomers must be familiar with the WCA Regulations before competing. There is a video here for the basic overview of the rules.

In addition, please read this document before coming to the competition to learn about the procedures for judging. Thanks to Olivér Perge and Niki Placskó for providing this detailed judging information document.

ALL COMPETITORS:

When you arrive, you will receive a card/nametag with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in for each event. In addition, you will also receive staffing assignments. All competitors are expected to help at this competition. For each event you sign up for (except Fewest Moves), you will be assigned to help out for just one group of that event. If you do not arrive to help during your scheduled event, and there are not enough staff members, we reserve the right to disqualify you from competing.

We will provide a judging tutorial at the beginning of the day, right before the start of the 3x3x3 speedsolve event. This will allow anyone with questions about how to judge to be properly prepared when they are expected to help. We hope that this system will fairly divide up the judging of the competition and make the competition run smoothly for all.

What is a cutoff?

A cutoff is a time that you must solve the puzzle in at least once during your first two solves in order to do the last three solves of the average. If the format of the event only has 3 attempts, you must solve the puzzle in the first attempt under the cutoff in order to do the last two solves of the mean.

What is a time limit?

A time limit is a time that you must solve the puzzle in during each attempt. If you do not solve the cube within the time limit, you will be stopped by the judge and recieve a DNF for that solve.

Schedule is tentative and is subject to change.
Additionally, if we end an event early the next event will start as soon as possible. This includes the Staff Tutorial, which could potentially only take five minutes.
If we get far enough ahead, we will add megaminx.
If you have never competed before, you are required to attend the staff tutorial at the beginning of the day.
If you miss your group, there is a high chance that you will not be able to be put into another group, so be on time.
