All first round events will have a combined cumulative time limit of 40 minutes. You will have no more than 40 minutes of solving time to complete as many events as you like.
The competition will be divided up into 3 groups. Groups will last approximately 2 and a half hours each.
Each Competitor will have a competing assignment and 1-2 helping assignments (ex. Compete in Group 1 Station 1, Judge Group 2 Station 1). You must be present to help out for your assigned tasks. Failure to complete your judging assignments may result in disqualification from the competition and/or being reported to the WCA Disciplinary Committee.
The competition will have fixed seating. There will be a cube cover and all your scorecards at your assigned station, which will be posted closer to the competition.
Competitors may do the events in any order you wish. Once you've started an event, you must complete that event or DNS the remaining solves before moving on to a different event.
If you are expecting a result > 8:00, please inform a Delegate or Judge. This will allow us to properly use a stopwatch to time the attempt in addition to the stackmat timer so that if you exceed 10 minutes the time can be accurately pulled from the stopwatch.
We will not be asking everyone to keep quiet while competitors are competing in 3x3 Blindfolded. Those attempts will be done in a "noisy" room.

All competitors should attend the tutorial at 8:00 AM, where we will discuss details specific to this competition.
