We strongly recommend parking in the parking lot off of Mills Avenue (parking lots north of Buildings 12/14/16 and Buildings 18/22 on the parking directory). There are also additional spaces in the parking areas near the northwest corner of campus (near Building 5 on the parking directory).
Signs will guide you from parking areas to Galileo Hall (structure 6 on the parking directory), where the majority of the event will take place. Note that Galileo Hall is underground. Stairs on the east side of the structure will lead you into the lecture hall.
On Saturday morning, FMC and multi-blind will take place in rooms 2460 and 2461 on the second floor of the Shanahan Center (Building 8 on the parking directory). These rooms are very close to the west staircase of the building next to the Cafe.

First-time Competitors:
All newcomers should be familiar with the WCA Regulations before competing. Also, this video provides an awesome overview of many of the basic competition rules. We will be running a competitor tutorial in the morning prior to 3x3, and there will be a brief Q&A period to clarify any questions you might have.
Returning Competitors:
In order to keep the competition running smoothly, all returning competitors are required to help judge, run, or scramble during the event. Competitors are generally assigned to staff during one or two other groups, per event they are competing in. We will explain how to judge, run, and scramble during the competitor tutorial on Saturday morning.

Q: Do I use my own cube to compete?
A: YES! You are responsible for your own hardware in order to compete. This means you should bring your own cube, or arrange to borrow a cube from a friend.
Q: What do I do when I walk in?
A: There is no formal check-in. However, upon arrival, please pick up your personalized name card from the table directly outside the venue.
