Hotel

The closest hotel is Scandic Hvidovre. It is located about a 30 minute walk from the venue.
Otherwise, there are several hotels in central Copenhagen.

Entrance

There are two entrances to the gymnasium. On the picture below, you can see the entrances circled. The larger circle is the parking lot. The smaller circle is the entrance you probably will use if you’re coming from Avedøre station.

You will be able to find the live results on WCA Live when the competition starts. We always try to get the results up as quickly as possible, but we prioritise making sure the competition runs smoothly and according to the schedule. Remember the results on WCA Live are not final, and changes might occur before they are published to the WCA site.

Plane
You can fly to Copenhagen Airport (CPH) which is located rather close to the venue. From the Airport, you can take several regional trains to Copenhagen Central Station. The regional trains should be going towards either Helsingør Station., Nivå Station. or Østerport Station. These depart about every 8th-12th minute. You can also take a Taxi from the Airport, however this will be rather expensive.
Public Transport
From Copenhagen Central Station you can take an S-Train with the 'A' line going towards Hundige, Køge or Solrød Strand and then jump off at Avedøre Station. From there you will have to walk about 5 minutes.
For a more suited route for you, you may have a look at the journeyplanner.

All competitors must have read the WCA Regulations.
We will have a quick run down before the first event, and explain how to compete and judge. There will be a demonstration by some of our most experienced cubers. You can find out when this will happen in the schedule tab.

You must be registered for this competition online in order to compete! You can register here. Your registration is complete, when you see your name among the other competitors (here).

New competitors must bring a valid identification card, to confirm their identity at the competition. A passport is good example since it shows your date of birth, and country of representation.

You are expected to help during the competition. For each event you participate in, you will then need to judge at least one other group in the same event. If you see an empty spot for a judge at a solving station, please take it! This helps the competition run a lot smoother!

Every time there is blindfolded event, there has to be complete silence! It requires a lot of concentration, so please be silent. If you need to talk or make noise, please leave the venue room where people are solving to do so.

No flash photography in the entire venue! Flash is distracting to the competitors. However pictures without the use of flash are allowed.

You are allowed to film your official attempt, as long as the camera's screen is either off or is out of sight.

All spectators must remain at least 1,5 meters away from every solving station.

When a round is in progress, then all competitors in the current group must wait in the competitor waiting area, until they get called up to solve.

You are not allowed to talk about the scrambles until the round is done! Otherwise, you might get disqualified.

You only need to be present, when you have to compete, in the events you are registered for! We recommend that you are present half an hour to an hour before your first event, since the schedule might change. If you can only be present one of the days, then you can only compete in the events on the given date. If you would like, you can write which day(s) you are coming, in the note, when you sign up for the competition.

When we approach the competition date, you will receive an email. It will contain some changes that might have happened. It will also contain more ‘up to date’ information, which you might need.

Alle deltagere skal have læst WCA regelsættet.
Vi vil lave en hurtig gennemgang inden den første disciplin, hvor at vi vil forklare hvordan det foregår når man deltager. Der vil blive givet en demonstration af nogle af vores mest erfarne deltagere. Der vil stå i skemaet hvornår den vil finde sted.

Du skal være tilmeldt konkurrencen online for at kunne deltage! Du kan tilmelde dig her. Din tilmelding er fuldført, når du ser dit navn blandt de andre deltagere (her).

Nye deltagere skal medbringe noget legitimation, for at bekræfte deres identitet til konkurrencen. Et pas vil være et godt eksempel, siden der står fødselsdato og hvilket land du repræsenterer.

Det er forventet at du hjælper til under konkurrencen. For hver disciplin du deltager i, så skal du også hjælpe med at dømme i den disciplin, for en anden gruppe. Hvis du ser en tom dommerplads, så vær sød og døm!

Hver gang der er en disciplin med bind for øjnene, så skal der være helt stille i rummet! Det kræver meget koncentration, så vær sød at være stille.

Ingen billeder med blitz er tilladt i hele lokalet! Normale billeder uden blitz er tilladt.

Du må gerne optage dine officielle forsøg, så længe at du ikke kan se kameraets skærm, eller at den er slukket.

Alt publikum skal forholde sig mindst 1,5 meter væk fra alle deltager borde.

Når en runde er i gang, skal alle deltagere i den igangværende gruppe vente i venteområdet, indtil de bliver kaldt op til at løse.

Du må ikke tale om blandingerne før runden er overstået! Ellers kan du blive diskvalificeret.

Du behøver kun at være til stede under de discipliner du deltager i! Vi foreslår at du er der en halv til en hel time, før din første disciplin, da skemaet måske kan ændre sig. Så hvis du kun kan være der en af dagene, så er det fint, så kan du bare kun deltage i de discipliner der er på givne dag. Du må meget gerne skrive hvilken dag du vil være til stede, i noten, når du tilmelder dig konkurrencen.

Du vil modtage en email et dage før konkurrencen. I den vil der stå hvilke mulige ændringer der kan være sket. Den vil også være fuldt ud opdateret, med alt andet information du muligvis vil have brug for.

If you are not planning to be present for a day where you have been assigned judging tasks, please just ignore it!
