This will be a tight schedule and we will try to start a few minutes early if need be. It is recommended that you come 10-15 minutes before your event is schedule to happen. There will be printed copies around the venue.
Registration Fee:
There is a $14 registration fee for the event, payable through the WCA Stripe payment system. Please note that even after payment, registrations need to be manually approved before appearing on the registration list, so you may still not be fully confirmed immediately after payment. Please keep an eye out for the e-mail saying you have been approved. Registration is on a first-come first-serve and the same will go for the waitlist once registration fills up. Please do not register unless you intend on competing as it will open up a spot for another competitor who does intend on competing.
We will only be accepting online payment at this competition. If you have any issues with this, please contact us!
There is a 100 person competitor limit to the competition. Please register as soon as possible if you plan on coming! Registration closes at the end of the day on September 15th. We will grant refunds to those who let us know by September 8th, but no refunds are granted after that date.
This competition is recognized as an official World Cube Association competition. Therefore, all competitors should be familiar with the WCA regulations. If you are new to competing, you may want to look at CubingUSA's Competitor Tutorial.

Q&A:
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 is the normal age of competitors at these events?
A: All ages are welcome, but in general competitors are between 10 and 20 years old. Don't let this stop you though, everyone can and should cube!
Q: What do I do when I walk in?
A: There is NO CHECK-IN. If you registered online, just have fun and hang out with other cubers. However, there will be a table where you can grab your lanyard/nametag with your group information on it so make sure you grab one of those!
Q: How do I find results?
A: On the day of the competition, live results can be found at cubecomps.com. These times are entered by a human, so please be patient if you don't see your results immediately! After the competition, all scorecards are checked again to make sure no mistakes were made during data entry. Once those have been submitted, they will then show up on your WCA Profile! If you are a first time competitor, you will receive your own WCA ID after this competition and will then have your own WCA Profile!
Q: Why am I not on the registration list yet?
A: You must pay the registration fee online in order to have completed your registration. If there are spots open up, your registration will be accepted. If there are no spots open, you will be on a waiting list and as people drop from the competition, people will be added on a first come-first serve basis! Shortly before the competition, we will not be allowing people off from the waiting list as we prepare for the competition and you will be notified of this via eemail.
Q: Are there age divisions?
A: Nope! All competitors compete together.
Q: Can I bring friends or family to spectate?
A: Yes! Spectacing is free, however, we ask that any guests keep the circular tables for the competitors and find a seat elsewhere! There will be rows of chairs specifically for spectators.
