ALL COMPETITORS MUST READ THIS TAB BEFORE REGISTERING

For First-Time Competitors

All newcomers must be familiar with the WCA Regulations before competing. This video gives a basic overview of the rules. In addition, please read this document before coming to the competition.

For All Competitors

When you arrive, you will receive a card with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in for each event. In addition, you may also have judging/scrambling/running assignments on your card. Every competitor is expected to help out during the event(s) they are registered for. The card will look like the following:

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.

Stationary/Fixed Seating

In this format, there is no competitor waiting area and competitors will complete all their solves for the round at the same solving station. Each solving station is numbered and a cube cover will be already at the station with a matching number.

1. When the competitor’s group is called, the competitor goes up to that stage’s “drop-off” table and collects their scorecard.

2. Competitor goes to any open solving station with their scorecard and puzzle.
   If there are no open stations, please wait a couple of minutes or see a Delegate to see if there are open stations at other stages. A station may open up as competitors from the previous group finish.

3. Competitor makes sure they have the correct numbered cover at their station.

4. If the competitor is in need of a judge, they raise their hand.

5. The competitor drops their solved puzzle and their scorecard into the cube cover. The judge or competitor then holds up the cover to signify it is ready to be scrambled.

6. A runner picks up the cube and takes it to the scramblers. After it is scrambled, a runner knows where to return it based on the station number on the cube cover.

7. The competitor completes all of their solves at this station for the round.

Groups and live results links will be posted here at a later date.

We will not be hosting a hotel block for this competition. However, there are ample hotels in close proximity to the venue. We suggest booking early to lock in the best rates!

The venue does not allow outside food or beverages inside the building (with the exception of water bottles).
