All Competitors:
* ALL MINORS MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT/GUARDIAN IN ORDER TO ATTEND THE COMPETITION
* Please be familiar with the WCA Regulations.
* Please remember that there is NO flash photography allowed. It is distracting to competitors and against the regulations. Also, make sure all cameras used at the solving stations have their screens faced away from the competitors or the result will be a DNF.
New Competitors
* Please watch the WCA Competitor Turorial made by Kit Clement and Chris Olson to better familiarize yourself with how competitions work.
* All competitors will be divided into groups for each event that they are competing in. When the group that you are in is called, you will bring your puzzle up to a table with scorecards for all competitors in that group, and you will place your puzzle into the cube cover with your scorecard. Groups will be emailed out to all competitors before the competition.
There is a Wendy's, Starbucks, and other restaurants in the basement of the venue as well as Mcdonald's, Chipotle and other restaurants a short walk from the building.
All results from the competition will be posted live on https://live.worldcubeassociation.org/
Masks are optional at this competition
Competitors should not attend the competition if experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or if they were exposed to someone with COVID-19. If this occurs to you, the organizers will offer the competitor a full refund.
When not competing, competitors and spectators should attempt to socially distance whenever possibly by keeping 3 feet away from others. We also encourage you not to share puzzles with other competitors.
Regardless of the system used, after every attempt, rather than the judge putting the puzzle in the cover, the competitor is asked to put the puzzle into the cover at the end of the attempt. The judge will only put in the scorecard.
