-Before the competition, watch this great video made by 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 at your station 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.
This competition will be run differently to be as cautious as possible as we return to competitions. Some of the major precautions we will be taking include
-We will be requiring proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 96 hours of the competition or proof of full vaccination to enter the competition.
-We will be requiring facial coverings for the duration of the competition.
-We will be providing hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes to any attendee and will regularly sanitize stations.
-We will be limiting each competitor to ONE guest permitted in the venue room.
-The competition will be "stationary" with each competitor staying at one station for the entirety of each round.
