-Before the competition, watch this great video made by Former WCA Senior Delegate Kit Clement with the basics of how it all works.
-There is also this written tutorial on the WCA website that is very helpful.
-The competitors will be split up into groups for competing. You will be assigned a group, which you can find on the Groups Tab.
-On the day of the competition when your group number is called you bring your puzzle up and put it in the box that has a scorecard with your name on it and wait in the competitor waiting area until your name is called.
-It's a good idea to arrive before the scheduled time for your event because if you are not there for the last call you might not be allowed to compete.

Both days of this competition will be held in the Collaborate A & B rooms at the Brookfield Conference Center.

There will be a discounted hotel room rate for the competition at the Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Brookfield for competitors. You can book rooms for the weekend here for $109 per night:
