Due to ongoing circumstances, the organizing team is setting forth the following guidelines:
- Competitors should not attend the competition if experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or if they were recently exposed to someone with COVID-19. If this occurs to you after registration closes, please contact the organizers.
- Competitors are encouraged to limit their number of guests to at most two.
- Masks are strongly recomended, but will remain optional. Please be respectful and mindful of the preferences of those around you and remain conscious when it comes to sharing cubes.
Additional rules may be added as deemed necessary by the organizers, the WCA Board, or local/national governments.
By registering for this competition you agree that you understand and will follow all of the information outlined above.
For first-time competitors:
There are multiple things a first-timer must know before competing. All newcomers must be familiar with the WCA Regulations before competing. There is a video here for the basic overview of the rules.
In addition, please read this document before coming to the competition to learn about the procedures for judging.
All competitors:
When you arrive, you will receive a card/nametag with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in for each event. In addition, you will also receive staffing assignments. All competitors are expected to help at this competition. For each event you sign up for, you will be assigned to help out for just one group of that event. If you do not arrive to help during your scheduled event, and there are not enough staff members, we reserve the right to disqualify you from competing.
We will provide a judging tutorial at the beginning of the day, and just after lunch. This will allow anyone with questions about how to judge to be properly prepared when they are expected to help. We hope that this system will fairly divide up the judging of the competition and make the competition run smoothly for all.
