In addition to a competitor limit for the whole competition, each event will have a separate limit. Registrations will be considered in the order that they are paid. If your paid registration includes events which have filled up, your registration will be accepted and modified to include only events which have space. Then, you will be placed on a waitlist for each full event you requested. Waitlisted competitors will be added if space becomes available until the waitlist closes on December 6.

Once your registration is accepted, you will not be able to change your registered events unless you contact the organizers. If you would like to add an event after registering, your request will be approved if there is space; otherwise, you will be placed on the waitlist. Requests to drop events are permitted until the deadlines on the General info page.

Limits for some events may be increased at the organizers' discretion, and competitors will be admitted from the waitlist accordingly.

This page and the above spreadsheet will be updated if we are able to admit more competitors.

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 the competitors responsibility to be familiar with the full set of regulations.

If you have any questions after watching this video, we will be having a new competitor tutorial at 9:30 AM on Saturday, December 10. That would be the perfect time to ask those questions and clear up any confusion.

Head over to the registration tab, if you are ready to sign-up for your first competiton! Click register, and fill out the information that it asks for. This will help you get set up into 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 most competitors for non-blindfolded events 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 a bunch of tables where nerds like us get to sit and discuss our favorite thing, cubes! Of course in addition there is competing, where you will see lots of timers flickering with contestants new personal bests. Most competitions (including this one!) have a break for lunch, and the competing is split up into groups, as to better organize who competes when. (Check the Groups tab and listen at the competition for more info on this.)

Q: How do I find results?

A: All results are posted on the WCA page a few days after the competition finishes. During the competition, search "WCA Live" (https://live.worldcubeassociation.org) to find information about results of completed rounds. This is also where you will find information about who made it to 2nd and 3rd rounds of events.

Q: Why am I not on the registration list yet?

A: Make sure you pay your registration fee in order to be automatically placed on the registered list, which will also guarantee you a spot in the competition. If payment may be an issue, or you are not sure if you can attend, use the contact button on the "Info" page to talk to us, and see if we can work out another payment strategy, or have you pay on arrival at the compeition. No matter what your situation may be, please register online. It is much easier for us to have you register now and pay later than to have to input information at another time.

Q: Are there age divisions?

A: Nope! All competitors compete in the same group.

Q: Can I have fun at this event?

A: HECK YES! Cubing is amazing, and we sincerely hope you enjoy the competition!

Q&A:

What's 3x3x3 Team-Blind, and how does it work?
3x3x3 Team-Blind is a team event in which two competitors collaboratively solve a 3x3x3 cube. One competitor, the "solver", is blindfolded during the entire solve, while another competitor, the "caller", can see the cube but can't touch it during the solve. The solver applies moves to the cube, while the caller tells the solver what moves to apply to solve the cube.

Is there inspection?
Yes, there's a 15-second inspection period before the solve just like with most official events. Both the caller and the solver may touch the cube during inspection, but the solver must put on their blindfold before inspection begins.

Can the solver talk?
Yes, both the solver and the caller can talk to each other during inspection and the solve.

Can teammates switch roles between solves?
Yes. The solver for one solve can be the caller for the next solve, and vice versa.

What's an unofficial event?
An unofficial event is any event that the World Cube Association doesn't recognize rankings for. In other words, it's just for fun!

This competition will be sponsored by TheCubicle! They will be providing gift-card prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in every event. They will not be selling puzzles onsite.
