Competitors are encouraged to bring their own pens to this competition. We will supply pens for competitors who do not supply their own.
In contrast to competitions held before March 2020, we will do the entire competition "stationary". What this means is that each competitor will do their entire attempts in a row at a single station for a round without leaving their seat.
Instead of dropping your cube off at a "cube drop off table", competitors will find the station with their scorecard (labeled on their lanyard) and place their cube in the cube cover with their scorecard.
When you are done with all of your solves, you will be able to leave the station with your cube. Make sure you have signed all of your solves.
We will have a comprehensive competitor tutorial at the beginning of the day that we encourage all competitors to attend. Seasoned competitors will find some things different as per our Risk Management Plan.
We would normally recommend watching this video if you are new to competitions. We still recommend watching it, but our competition will be ran differently in accordance with the Competition Safety Policy and our Risk Management Plan.
There will be no competitor waiting area.
Competitors will be asked to judge throughout the course of the competition. Because of this, we ask that all competitors familiarize themselves with this tab.
Competitors with an internet-enabled device will be asked to use cubing.net's WCA inspection tool. Stopwatches will be provided to competitors who are unable to or wish not to use cubing.net's WCA inspection tool.
We will have a comprehensive judging tutorial during our competitor tutorial at the beginning of the day that we encourage all competitors to attend. Seasoned competitors will find some things different as per our Risk Management Plan.
