It is a 10-15 minute walk from POWELL bart station (Uphill).
If you would like to take MUNI, we recommend downloading a reliable local bus routes app to be safe.
If you would like to take caltrain, the MUNI bus 30 is nearby and has stops close to the venue. we recommend bringing change if you can just to be safe.
If you decide to drive, know that street parking is limited. Although there are public parking garages around the area, we cannot guarantee much else.
There are many, many ways to arrive at the venue. Travel how you see fit!
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.

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!
