For First-Time Competitors

All newcomers must be familiar with the WCA Regulations before competing. This video gives a basic overview of the rules.

In addition, please read this tutorial document before coming to the competition.

For All Competitors

When you arrive, you will receive a card with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in for each event. In addition, you will also have judging/scrambling assignments on your card. Every competitor is expected to help out during the event(s) they are registered for. The card will look like the following:

If you do not arrive to help during your scheduled event, and there are not enough staff members, we reserve the right to disqualify you from competing.

Driving Directions

From I91 North and South

Take exit 24 and then take a left onto Gilman Rd (Rte 122). Stay on this road for approximately 1.7 miles until you reach an intersection with a stop light. Go straight onto East Burke Rd for 4.74 miles and Mountain Road will be on your right (There will be a sign for the Hotel and Conference Center). Travel 2.5 miles up Mountain Rd and you will see a sign that says "Event Parking" on the right. Park in this lot and follow the foot bridge near the back of the parking lot to the Hotel and Conference Center. The Ballroom is on the second floor.

**NOTE:* There is also parking in the front of the building, but we please ask that you park in the event parking, due to lack of spaces in the front, unless your situation requires it*

Finding The Ballroom

1. From event parking, walk down through the footbridge (near the back of the "Event Parking" lot). You will see the Hotel and Conference center just across the road. Carefully cross the road and enter the double doors into a table seating area, and the ballroom is on your right at the end of the hallway. Note: Entering the back of the Hotel from Event Parking means you are already on the second floor.

2. From the lobby (1st Floor): Take the elevator or stairs up to the 2nd floor, and the ballroom will be on your right, down the hall
   There will be signs out, for direction to the Ballroom.

3. From the rooms: Take the elevator or stairs down to the 2nd floor, and the ballroom will be on your right, down the hall
