Location:
Holiday Inn Eugene - Springfield

Registration Fee:
There is a $17 registration fee for the event, payable through the WCA Stripe payment system. 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, so you may still not be fully confirmed immediately after payment.

There is a 120 competitor limit to the competition. Please register as soon as possible if you plan on coming! Registration closes at the end of the day on October 6th. We will grant refunds to those who let us know by October 6th, but no refunds are granted after that date.

Update: While we typically don't accept walk-in competitors at competitions, due to the abnormally low registration, we will accept walk-in competitors for 3x3 speedsolve only. Walk-in registration will be $20 -- no change will be provided for those with larger bills. Please arrive before 9:15am to register.

This competition is recognized as an official World Cube Association competition. Therefore, all competitors should be familiar with the WCA regulations. If you are new to competing, you may want to look at CubingUSA's Competitor Tutorial.

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. Thanks to Olivér Perge and Niki Placskó for providing this detailed judging information document.

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.

Cutoff times and round placements are subject to change based on the registration totals for each event.

* Regulations only allow for at most 75% of competitors in a round to advance a round. We will only take 30 if we have enough competitors in the previous round to do so.
