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.

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.

Stationary/Fixed Seating with Running Judges

In this format, there is no competitor waiting area and competitors will complete all their solves for the round at the same solving station. Each solving station is numbered and a cube cover will be already at the station with a matching number.

This also combines the roles of running and judging into one.

  1. When the competitor’s group is called, the competitor goes up to that stage’s “pick-up” table and collects their scorecard.

  2. Competitor goes to any open solving station with their scorecard and puzzle.
    a. If there are no open stations, please wait a couple of minutes or see a Delegate to see if there are open stations at other stages. A station may open up as competitors from the previous group finish.

  3. Competitor makes sure they have the correct numbered cover at their station.

  4. Runner/judge takes the cube covers to the scramblers.

  5. Runner/judge takes the next available scrambled puzzle to the corresponding competitor based on the number on the cube cover and proceeds to judge their attempt.
    a. Runner/judge may not be judging the same competitor each time
    b. If there are no scrambled puzzles available, runner/judge waits in line for the next scrambled puzzle

  6. After the attempt, runner/judge takes the solved cube and competitor scorecard in the cube cover to the scramblers.

  7. Repeat this process until all competitors in the group have completed all their attempts.

Groups are available at CompetitionGroups.com and live results links will be posted posted on WCA Live.
