ALL COMPETITORS MUST READ THIS TAB BEFORE REGISTERING.
Before the competition, you will receive a card/nametag with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in for each event in an email. We will be relying on competitors to help by judging whenever they are not competing. Judging is very easy and is a great way to make time fly!
We will provide a judging and competitor tutorial at the beginning of the day, as well as right before the start of 3x3. This will allow anyone with questions about how to judge or compete to be properly prepared when they are expected to help or compete!
We will need help judging for the second/final rounds of events as we can not assign staff for those in advance. Spectators are encouraged to learn how to judge; you do not need to know how to cube in order to be a judge. Having enough judges ensures that we stay on schedule and are able to leave on time.
Thank you for participating in Diamond Bar Fall 2022!
In order to make this event run as smooth as possible, please familiarize yourself with the WCA Regulations.
If this is your first time competing, it may be intimidating when you first walk in. To mitigate this, please watch this video that explains the basics of a cubing competition. Note that we may make minor changes to the flow of the competition due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Any changes will be explained in the competitor tutorial.
Here are some frequently asked questions:
Q: Do I use my own cube to compete?
A: Yes, and they must comply with the WCA Regulations.
Q: Can I add or remove an event from my registration?
A: Not a problem. Send us a message through the contact link, and we will gladly change the events for which you are signed up.
Q: What are cutoffs?
A: Cutoffs are times that competitors must reach within their first two solves in order to perform the remaining three solves of the average (For events like 4x4x4 and 3x3x3 One Handed in this competition). We use them because we would like to expedite the competition as much as possible while still being fair.

A: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that only competitors attend. Competitors will each be permitted to bring one guest.
Q: Do I have to be present for events I'm not competing in?

Q: What is there to do when I'm not competing?
A: There are numerous tables where people can practice and hang out with other cubers.
