Guest Limit

Space is limited in the venue and our priority is allowing as many competitors as possible to compete within our limited venue space.

Competitors may bring at most two (2) guests.

Competitor List

Registrants must pay the registration fee in order to be added to the competitor list. Organizers manually accept registrations one at a time in the order the registration fees are paid, so you may have to wait a while before your name could show up on the competitor list.

Once the competitor list reaches the 80 competitor limit, registrants who pay the registration fee will be added to the waiting list instead of the competitor list. Due to the competitor limit, completing your registration within the initial registration period does not guarantee you a spot on the competitor list.

Waiting List

The waiting list is ordered based on the timestamp that registrants paid the registration fee. For privacy reasons, this list is not available to the public. If you are added to the waiting list you will be informed via an email from the Organization team.

Anyone on the waiting list who wishes to be removed from the waiting list may contact the organizers to delete their registration and be refunded 90% of their registration fee.

If the competitor list fills up quickly, registration could close earlier than the originally listed date (June 18, 2024). The waiting list will close at the same time that registration closes.

If anyone on the competitor list deletes their registration, the person at the top of the waiting list will be moved to the competitor list. After (June 18, 2024), the competitor list will be finalized and registrants who are still on the waiting list will be refunded 100% of their registration fee.

The following bus routes have stops near or on the Dalhousie Studley campus: 1, 4, 7, 8, 10, 24, 90.

We recommend parking in CSB (Lots 10 and 11) which is free on weekends, Dunn (Lot 3) is also a good option. Street Parking in Halifax is also free on weekends but there is not much near the campus building.

There are lots of restaurants a quick 5 minute walk away at the corner of Robie St and Spring Garden Rd and even more options if you go further down Spring Garden Rd.

The groups for the competition can be found here after registration is closed.

These groups are when you are assigned to compete, judge and/or scramble during an event you are registered for.

Per Regulations 1e2 and 1f2, all competitors must be available to help judge and scramble. If you're unsure how to judge, please review the WCA Regulations, watch this video, or ask one of the WCA Delegates at the competition.

Please plan to arrive to each of your groups five minutes before it is scheduled to begin. Showing up excessively late to your group may result in not being allowed to compete in that event.

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).

Cutoff

The result to beat to proceed to the second phase of a cutoff round (see Regulation 9g).

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.
