For All Competitors

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

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.

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

  2. Competitor goes to any open solving station with their scorecard and puzzle.
    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. If the competitor is in need of a judge, they raise their hand.

  5. The competitor drops their solved puzzle and their scorecard into the cube cover. The judge or competitor then holds up the cover to signify it is ready to be scrambled.

  6. A runner picks up the cube and takes it to the scramblers. After it is scrambled, a runner knows where to return it based on the station number on the cube cover.

  7. The competitor completes all of their solves at this station for the round.

This competition is being held in the Mid-Atlantic Region (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, WV). See the regions on CubingUSA's website.
