Tomorrow when you arrive at the competition you will navigate to the Bricker Building. When you arrive you will have to pay for parking. After you pay for parking you continue straight and then turn left at the FIRST stop sign. Continue straight and you will see the Celeste building. Behind the Celeste building is the Bricker Building. You will see a large banner that says Welcome to Arnold Sportsworld For Kids and Teens Entrance.You can also ask the parking attendant where the Bricker Building is and they can help as well.
When you arrive there will be signage stating Entertainment and Performer Check In. That booth will have your wristband to get into the expo. Give them your fist and last name and they will give you your wrist band. Reminder that all of your guests will need to purchase a ticket or pick theirs up from the will call separately.
After you and your guests get your wristbands you will proceed to the right side of the venue and you’ll see a hanging banner that says Speedcubing. That is where we will be located.
They did not provide as many tables and chairs that I requested, however it is inside a 155,000 square foot room so there is plenty of space to stand and tons and tons of vendors and exhibits to check out in between groups and rounds.
If you have not yet done so please send a text to 55222 with just the keyword WCA
This will ensure you get text alerts with all of the groups as they are called.
There is not wifi available but there is good cellular service
There is a food court inside the Bricker Building and is located right next to our booth.
IF you have any questions please let me know and I’ll do my best to get back to you tonight or tomorrow. Building is open 5-15 minutes before 9am. I would recommend showing up early, again I am unsure how busy it will be at the Teen and Kids Expo but better safe than sorry.

For those of you new to cubing, WELCOME!
We wanted to let you know this event is perfectly fine for cubers of any age and experience. We just ask you know a couple things before coming to compete...
First, please be familiar with the WCA Regulations, found here:
https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/
Of course, those regulations contain a lot of legalese, so we have a video made specifically for new cubers, just to show them the basics of competing. This video will explain most of what any cuber competing for the first time will need to know.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPL3eV-A0ww&t=2s
If you are stoked to compete and ready to sign up, head over to the registration tab, click register, and fill out the information it asks for. This will help you get set up the WCA's system and one step closer to your first official solve!
Your first competition is a very special thing, and can blossom into a great new experience that can stay with as you cube. Here is a youtube video with many of today's best cubers describing their first competiton experience.

Q&A:
Q: Do I use my own cube to compete?
A: YES! You are responsible for your own hardware in order to compete.
Q: What is the normal age of competitors at these events?
A: All ages are welcome, but in general competitors are between 10 and 20 years old. Don't let this stop you though, everyone can and should cube!
Q: What is the competition like?
A; Competitions are a bunch of tables where nerds like us get to sit and discuss our favorite thing, Cubes! Of course in addition there is competing, which will occupy one side of the competition hall, where you will see lots of timers flickering with contestants new personal bests, and a vendor, where you can purchase all you cubing related needs. Most competitions have a break for lunch, and the competing is split up into heats, as to better organize who competes when. (Check the Groups tab and listen at the competition for more info on this.)
Q: How do I find results?
A: All results are posted on the WCA page a couple of days after the competition finishes. However, for the day of competing, go to Cubecomps.com to find information about current events. This is also where you will find information about 2nd and 3rd rounds of events.
Q: Why am I not on the registration list yet?
A: Make sure you pay you entrance fee in order to be automatically placed on the registered list, which will also guarantee you a spot in the competition. If payment may be any issue, or you are not sure if you can attend, use the contact button to talk to us, and see if we can work out another payment strategy, or have you pay on arrival at the compeition. No matter what you situation may be however, please register online. It is much easier for us to have you register now and pay later, then to have to input information at another time.
Q: Are there age divisions?
A: Nope! All competitors compete in the same group.
Q: Can I have fun at this event?
A: HECK YES! Cubing is amazing, and we sincerely hope you enjoy the competition!
