We will be requiring proof of a negative COVID-19 RTPCR test within 72 hours before the start of competition or proof of full vaccination (two doses) to enter the competition.

Each competitor may bring at most one (1) guest. If you can come alone, that would be even better!

Competitor MUST wear a face mask during the entire competition. The only exception will be during lunch break.
Please avoid sharing puzzles with others and avoid any unnecessary contact with non-family members.
It is recommended that the competitor brings his own pen to the competition.
After every attempt, rather than the judge putting the puzzle in the cover, the competitor is asked to put the cube into the cover at the end of the attempt.
During this competition, we will be doing each round stationary. When your group is called, you will pick a solving station and will stay there until you have completed all of your official solves for that event.
After each use of a solving station, the timer and mat will be disinfected for the next competitior.
There will be no competitor waiting area.
