New competitors are considered to have no WCA ID or a WCA ID with 2024. Returning competitors are considered to have a WCA ID that is from 2023 or earlier. All competitors must still follow all registration requirements for their registration to be considered complete.

Registrations will be accepted based on the following:

Initially, 75% of spots, as defined by the competitor limit, are available for returning competitors on a first come, first serve basis.
If greater than 25% of new competitors register before 75% of spots are filled by returning competitors, any additional new competitors will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis alongside returning competitors.
If the spots reserved for new competitors are not filled by new competitors before registration closes prior to the competition, remaining spots, up to the competitor limit, will be accepted from registered returning competitors.

Your registration will not be confirmed (moved from the waiting list) until payment has been completed. Please note that even after payment, registrations need to be manually approved before appearing on the registration list.

March 2024 is WCA Newcomer Month! 25% of the competitor limit is reserved for first-time competitors or competitors who's first competition is in 2024. The remaining 75% of slots will be filled just like normal, and we will still be accepting newcomers and 2024 WCA IDs after the reserved 25% gets filled.

If there are less than 25 newcomers or 2024 WCA IDs on the competitor list after registration closes, any competitors on the waiting list who do not qualify for the reserved places will be accepted into the competition until the competitor limit of 100 has been reached.

ALL COMPETITORS MUST READ THIS TAB BEFORE REGISTERING.

FOR FIRST-TIME COMPETITORS:

There are multiple things a first-timer must know before competing. All newcomers must be familiar with the WCA Regulations before competing. There is a video here for the basic overview of the rules.

In addition, please read this document before coming to the competition to learn about the procedures for judging.

ALL COMPETITORS:

When you arrive, you will receive a card/nametag with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in for each event. In addition, you will also receive staffing assignments. All competitors are expected to help at this competition. For each event you sign up for, you will be assigned to help out for just one group of that event. 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.

We will provide a judging tutorial at the beginning of the day, right before the start of the 3x3x3 speedsolve event. This will allow anyone with questions about how to judge to be properly prepared when they are expected to help. We hope that this system will fairly divide up the judging of the competition and make the competition run smoothly for all.
