ALL COMPETITORS
Returning competitors will have the obligation to help staff the competition to ensure it runs smoothly. For each event you sign up for, you will be asked to help out, under most circumstances, for one group of that event. Arriving to help during the times you are scheduled ensures we are able to run the event smoothly.
We will provide a tutorial in the beginning of the day before 3x3 round 1, both for new and returning competitors, with information on competition processes. This will include basic procedures for competing, judging, and running. Ultimately, it is the competitor's responsibility to be familiar with, and adhere to, the World Cube Association Regulations.
For those of you new to cubing, WELCOME!
We wanted to let you know this event is perfectly fine for cubers of any age and experience. We just ask you know a couple things before coming to compete...
First, please be familiar with the WCA Regulations, found here:
https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/
This video will explain most of what any cuber competing for the first time will need to know, however, it is still required that they are familar with the full set of regulations above.

If you have any questions after this video, we will be having a new competitor tutorial at the beginning of the competition. That would be the perfect time to ask those questions and clear up any confusion.
If you are stoked to compete and ready to sign up, head over to the registration tab, click register, and fill out the information it asks for. This will help you get set up the WCA's system and one step closer to your first official solve!
Q&A:
Q: Do I use my own cube to compete?
A: YES! You are responsible for your own hardware in order to compete.
Q: What is the normal age of competitors at these events?
A: All ages are welcome, but in general competitors are between 10 and 20 years old. Don't let this stop you though; everyone can and should cube!
Q: What is the competition like?
A: Competitions are where nerds like us get to sit and discuss our favorite thing: cubes! Of course, in addition there is competing, which will occupy one side of the competition area, where you will see lots of timers flickering with contestants' new personal bests, and possibly a vendor, where you can purchase all your cubing-related needs. There will be a break for lunch, and the competing is split up into heats, as to better organize who competes when. (Check the Groups tab and listen at the competition for more info on this.)
This competition will be outdoors. Solving will take place under a covered lunch area, but the waiting area is out in the open. There are some benches and shade, and we will provide some chairs and tables.
Competitors will have one judge and will stay seated for the duration of each round. They will complete all of their solves at one station. There will not be a designated competitor waiting area.
Q: How do I find results?
A: All results are posted on the WCA page a couple of days after the competition finishes. However, for the day of competing, go to https://live.worldcubeassociation.org to find information about current events. This is also where you will find information about 2nd and 3rd rounds of events.

Q: Why am I not on the registration list yet?
A: Make sure you pay your entrance fee and fill out the form (in the register tab) in order to be eligible to be placed on the registered list, which will also guarantee you a spot in the competition. If the competitor list is full, you will be placed onto a private waitlist, which is listed in the order of when competitors pay. Note that in order to be on either the registered list or the waitlist, you must pay your entrance fee. If you are not advanced from the waitlist before registration closes, you will be issued a full refund. If payment may be any issue, or you are not sure if you can attend, use the contact button to talk to us, and see if we can work out another payment strategy, or have you pay on arrival at the competition. No matter what your situation may be however, please register online. It is much easier for us to have you register now and pay later, then to have to input information at another time.
