This is a Best of 1 relay for the Clock event, consisting of two teams of 4 competitors. The team captains will be the two highest ranked Clock competitors at the competition (Lucas Nieuwland and Lucas Kuczaj). The 6 other competitors will be selected from the Top 24 competitors of Round 1 at random, using 3 pools:

Pool 2 - Seeds 9-16 (2 competitors, 1 for each team)
Pool 3 - Seeds 17-24 (2 competitors, 1 for each team)

The following rules apply:

• Team members will consecutively complete a single Clock solve. The team with the faster cumulative time will win.
• In the event of a tie, the fastest single from each team will determine the winner.
• Standard WCA penalties (e.g. misalignment, timer stops/starts) apply for the solves.
• Team members will supply their own clocks.
• This is an unofficial team event, no results will be stored in the WCA database.
• If no relevant WCA regulation can be applied to resolve an incident, the event’s judges may use discretion to resolve the issue with fair play and sportsmanship as the motivations for the decision.

This is a Best of 1 (Bo1) round of 3x3x3 Parent-Child Team Blind. You can be a part of a team even if you are not an official competitor. There is room for up to 8 teams. Each team is expected to supply their own blindfold.
