First-Time Competitors

• Familiarize yourself with the WCA Regulations before the competition. Watching a competitor tutorial video before the competition can help you become familiar with the key procedures of competing and the relevant regulations, but the full regulations always apply - even those not mentioned in a tutorial.
• Bring documentation showing your name and birthdate and present it during the check-in period (8:00am-8:30am) to verify the information on your WCA account. Due to the age of the average competitor, a birth certificate is generally the most common document suiting this need, but a drivers license or passport will work perfectly too (as long as it is for the competitor themselves and not a parent/guardian). If you have any concerns about this, please reach out ASAP ahead of the competition.
• Attend the new competitor tutorial at 8:30am. Even if you have read the Regulations and watched an online tutorial, attending the in-person tutorial will help familiarize you with the specific procedures and expectations for this competition, and it's also your chance to ask questions if anything is still puzzling you before you actually compete.

All Competitors

• Reach out at least two weeks before the competition if you need accommodations. If there is any circumstance (e.g. disability) that would prevent you from competing normally, reaching out ahead of the competition will give the organizers and WCA Delegates time to best accommodate your unique needs.
• Be present at least 15 minutes early for any round you are competing in. If the competition gets ahead of schedule, it will stay ahead of schedule, and you may not be able to compete if you miss your scheduled group (especially for subsequent rounds).
• Fulfill all judging assignments throughout the day. In addition to the groups you are assigned to compete in, you will also be scheduled to judge in certain groups throughout the day. Your judging assignments will usually come immediately after you compete or far enough before you compete to give you time to warm up. If you repeatedly miss your judging assignments, you may be subject to disqualification from the competition - everyone is expected to help out at least as much they compete.
• Let the organizers know if you are leaving before your last round. If you need to skip a round that you advanced to, letting the organizers know ahead of time will allow someone else to take your place in the round.

Venue

This competition takes place in the cafeteria of Kennesaw Mountain High School (1898 Kennesaw Due West Road NW, Kennesaw, GA 30152). Ample free parking is available across the campus, and driving is the most viable way to reach the venue due to lack of transit connections in the vicinity.

Dining

TeaStation Kabob & Bites is a local eatery that has partnered with Southeast Cubing, Inc. to support this competition! They offer bubble tea, wings, rice bowls, wraps and more, and are located less than 10 minutes from the venue.

There is also a selection of fast food and other restaurants along Cobb Parkway and Barrett Parkway within a couple miles of the venue.

Lodging

There are a variety of hotels along I-75 near Town Center Mall and Kennesaw State University.

Intercity Travel

Atlanta has the following options for intercity arrivals, in addition to driving. However, please note that Kennesaw is not sufficiently connected to Atlanta via transit to forgo driving entirely, so some form of local transportation like a rental car or a rideshare is necessary to reach the venue.

• The Atlanta airport is the busiest in the world, with nonstop service to destinations across the entire country and around the globe.
• The Atlanta train station is served by Amtrak's Crescent route, connecting Atlanta with other major cities across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic between New York and New Orleans.
• The Atlanta bus station is served by intercity Greyhound buses, connecting Atlanta with other major cities across the Eastern United States.

We are recruiting a talented and hard-working Volunteer Team for this competition to carry out scrambling and running, along with any other necessary competition tasks at the direction of the organizers/WCA Delegates. In exchange for this hard work, all Competition Volunteers (formerly known as "competition staff") will receive snacks and lunch during the competition and a refund of the registration fee after the competition.

Please note that all Competition Volunteers are expected to comply with the Southeast Cubing Code of Conduct for Competition Volunteers, and all applicants must agree to its terms in order to be considered for a Competition Volunteer role. Failure to act in accordance with these expectations may result in revocation of benefits and/or the inability to serve on the Volunteer Team at future competitions.
