​

The most important criteria of the participation in the competition is the knowledge of the WCA Regulations.

You can find the current WCA Regulations and WCA Guidelines on the link below:

WCA Regulations
WCA Guidelines

Please read this before the competition!

You can also check WCA competition tutorial.

​
Additional information for every participant (competitors, guests, spectators):

• New competitors must bring some form of ID to show at the competition to confirm the name, the country they wish to compete for, and the date of birth registered with.
• Please help judging! As a competitor, your judging assignments are the absolute minimum you should be doing to help out. As second rounds, third rounds and finals have no assigned judges, we really need people to help out whenever available for these.
• No flash photography under any circumstance within the venue. It is extremely distracting for competitors.
• During blindfolded events, please stay silent within the venue.
• If you are a spectator, please stay 1.5m away from competitors at all times as per Regulation 7b. If you are filming someone competing, please stay out of the competitor area.
• We will be taking videos and photographs of the competition and the environment for our social media pages and website. By attending the competition as a competitor or a guest, you are accepting that you may be filmed or photographed for these purposes.

​
Violation of any of the regulations may result in the disqualification from the whole competition.
​

Najpomembnejši kriterij za udeležbo na tekmovanju je poznavanje WCA Pravilnika.

Trenutni WCA Pravilnik in WCA Smernice najdete na spodnjih povezavah, na voljo je tudi prevod v slovenščino:

WCA Pravilnik, slovenščina: WCA Pravilnik
WCA Smernice, slovenščina: WCA Smernice

Prosimo, da jih preberete pred tekmovanjem!

Preberete si lahko tudi WCA vodič o poteku tekmovanja.

​
Dodatne informacije za vse udeležence (tekmovalce, goste, gledalce):

• Novi tekmovalci morajo s seboj prinesti osebno izkaznico ali drug osebni dokument, ki ga bodo pokazali na tekmovanju, da potrdijo podatke, s katerimi so se prijavili: ime, datum rojstva in državljanstvo, s katerim želijo tekmovati.
• Prosimo, pomagajte soditi! Kot tekmovalec so vaše sodniške naloge najmanjši prispevek, kar naj bi storili, da pomagate pri izvedbi tekmovanja. Ker drugi, tretji in finalni krogi nimajo vnaprej določenih sodnikov, resnično potrebujemo ljudi, ki nam lahko pomagajo.
• Prepovedano je fotografiranje z bliskavico na prizorišču tekmovanja, s kakršnim koli razlogom. Za tekmovalce je to izjemno moteče.
• Med disciplinami slepega reševanja vas prosimo, da na prizorišču ostanete v tišini.
• Če ste gledalec, ves čas ostanite vsaj 1,5 m stran od tekmovalcev, v skladu s Pravilom 7b. Če snemate nekoga med tekmovanjem, ostanite zunaj označenega območja s tekmovalnimi postajami.
• Na prizorišču bomo fotografirali in snemali dogajanje v namene lastne promocije na družbenih omrežjih in spletnih straneh. Z udeležbo na tekmovanju kot tekmovalec ali gost se strinjate, da vas lahko ali fotografiramo ali posnamemo v te namene.

​
Kršitev katerega koli pravila lahko povzroči diskvalifikacijo iz celotnega tekmovanja.
​

This competition is participating in the official WCA Newcomer Month 2024. The registration process will reserve 50% of spots (70 spots) for new competitors. New competitors are considered to have no WCA ID or a WCA ID with 2024. Returning competitors are considered to have a WCA ID that is from 2023 or earlier. All competitors must still follow all registration requirements for their registration to be considered complete.

Registrations will be accepted based on the following:

• 50% of spots (70), as defined by the competitor limit, are reserved for new competitors.
• Initially, 50% of spots (70), as defined by the competitor limit, are available for returning competitors on a first come, first serve basis.
• If greater than 50% of new competitors register before 50% of spots are filled by returning competitors, any additional new competitors will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis alongside returning competitors.
• If the spots reserved for new competitors are not filled by new competitors before registration closes two weeks prior to the competition (March 2, 2024), remaining spots, up to the competitor limit, will be accepted from registered returning competitors.

At the competition, some other things will also be adapted for newcomers. We really want them to feel good with us and have a great first competition.
​

To tekmovanje je vključeno v uraden WCA mesec novincev 2024. Pri prijavah je 50% mest (70 mest) rezerviranih za novince. Za novince se štejejo tisti tekmovalci, ki so še brez WCA ID-ja ali imajo WCA ID z začetkom 2024. Za povratnike se štejejo tisti tekmovalci, ki imajo WCA ID iz leta 2023 ali prej. Vsi tekmovalci morajo še vedno upoštevati vse zahteve za prijavo, da se njihova prijava šteje za popolno.

Prijave bodo sprejete na naslednji način:

• 50% mest (70) določenih z omejitvijo tekmovalcev je rezerviranih za novince.
• Na začetku je 50% mest (70) določenih z omejitvijo tekmovalcev na voljo za povratnike. Prijave bodo sprejete po običajnem redu - po vrstnem redu, kot bodo izpolnjeni vsi pogoji.
• Če se prijavi več kot 50% novincev preden se zapolni preostalih 50% mest s povratniki, se nadaljnje prijave sprejemajo po običajnem redu za novince in povratnike hkrati.
• Če novinci ne zapolnijo rezerviranih mest pred koncem prijav, dva tedna pred tekmovanjem (2. marec 2024), bodo preostala mesta zapolnjena s povratniki na čakalni listi do zapolnitve mest.
