This competition does NOT have 3x3x3 Cube. If you'd like to compete in 3x3, see Bay Area Side Events Day 2025.

All attendees are required to be quiet during blindfolded events, as these events require lots of concentration. If you would like to talk during a blindfolded event, please step outside of the venue first.
