The ballroom is located on the second floor of Memorial Union at FHSU. Please park in the main parking lot outlined in blue.
Group assignments are on Competition Groups here: https://www.competitiongroups.com/competitions/BattleatFortHaysKS2024
Group assignments are also listed below. All competitors are asked to help do other tasks to make the competition run smoothly and efficiently.
You are given assignments only in the puzzles in which you're competing. Note that the main organizer and delegate(s) aren't given assignments most of the time because they have many tasks to complete during the day. However, faster speedcubers who are also organizers or delegates may be asked to scramble.
To understand what your information says, if you see something like "3;J1" that means you're competing in group 3 but judging in group 1. Another example would be "2;S3" which means you're competing in group 2 but scrambling for group 3. You will never compete and have a task in the same group.
J = judge, R = runner, S = scrambler
After round 1, we will be asking for volunteers to help with the tasks.
FHSU is not centrally located to alot of eating options but is close to a couple local favorites like Taco Shop, Gellas and The Golden Q. A majority of the options are off the interstate to the NE of campus.
