- One solve within a competitor's first two solves must be under the cut-off time for the competitor to be allowed to continue in the round.
- For all WCA events, the hard cut-off time is 10 minutes. Thus if any one solve surpasses 10 minutes on the timer, the competitor will be stopped and the solve will be recorded as a DNF ("Did Not Finish").
The details of the Surprise Events will be announced on the day of the competition. These events will not be official events as recognized by the WCA. Both of the events will be open to anyone to participate on a first-come-first-serve basis, as there will be no prior registration. As many people as possible will be allowed to participate, as time permits. Thus, once the scheduled end-time for each event is reached, the event will conclude and no more attendees will be allowed to participate, regardless of the number of people that have been able to compete.
Heats:
For all of the official WCA Events except for Blindfolded, competitors have been organized into different heats.
This list for the heats is available here.
Also see the Schedule for more information on the times for each heat.
Prizes:
First place in each of the official WCA events (3x3, OH, BLD, Pyraminx) will receive an engraved, crystal award (pictured above).
First place in either of the Surprise Events will receive a special award coinciding with the respective event.
