This competition is at the Picket's Mill Battlefield Historic Site Family Group Shelter. If you click the address listed on the general info tab, it will take you straight to the venue. However, if you type the address into Google Maps, it will take you to the Red Marker, which is in the middle of the forest -so make sure to adjust the pin yourself to the Group Shelter Building. There are about 40 parking spots at the venue, so if you can be dropped off and picked up that would be helpful - but no worries if you can't.
For those of you new to cubing, WELCOME!
We just ask you know a couple things before coming to compete...
First, please be familiar with the WCA Regulations, found here:
https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/
This video will help explain most of what any cuber competing for the first time will need to know. It is highly suggested that parents watch this video as well.
A written competitor tutorial can be found here.
If you still feel like you need more guidance on how to compete after reviewing these resources, please find one of the competition Delegates on the morning of the competition and we will be glad to go over competition procedures with you.
If you are stoked to compete and ready to sign up, head over to the registration tab once registration opens, fill out the information it asks for, and submit your registration and payment. This will get you one step closer to your first official solve!
Additionally:
- Please bring some form of identification. This will be used to verify your name, birthday, and nationality. (something like a passport or school ID).
- Please be familiar with all of WCA's regulations, most importantly Article A. If you have any questions about the regulations, feel free to ask us.
- In each event we will have rounds. We will take the top competitors on to the subsequent rounds. After a round is completed, results will be entered into WCA Live. Your name will be highlighted if you made it to the next round.
- Each round will be divided into groups to help them run more efficiently. We will call the groups in order. Please bring your solved puzzle up to the station with your scorecard. We are allowed to deny you the ability to compete if you do not come up when your assigned group is called.

Q: What is the competition like?
A: Competitions are a bunch of tables where nerds like us get to sit and discuss our favorite thing - cubes! Of course there is also competing, which will occupy one side of the competition hall, where you will see lots of timers flickering with contestants' new personal bests. Most competitions have a break for lunch, and the competing is split up into groups, as to better organize who competes when. (Check the Live Results/Groups tab and listen at the competition for more info on this.)
Q: How do I find results?
A: All results are posted on the WCA page a couple days after the competition finishes. However, for the day of the competition, go to WCA Live to find information about current events.

Results have to be entered in by hand and will not appear immediately on WCA Live; please be patient with us as we work to upload results as quickly as possible.
