Here are the groups and assignments for Battle at Fort Hays 2023. 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.
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.
