Each event is run in groups, depending on how many people are competing in the event, which determines the number of groups there will be.
We call each group up one at a time in order to complete their solves during the scheduled time for the round.
We have a program that automatically picks what groups you are in and who scrambles for each group.
This is the minimum amount you should be helping out as it only is for first rounds.
We always appreciate extra help!

Q: Is there an age requirement to participate? Are there any age divisions?
