*The first number listed is known as the Soft Cutoff Time. This is the time that competitors need to get under in order to continue their average. Competitors will have two attempts (unless otherwise noted) to do this. If a competitor does not manage to get a solve under this time, the competitor will not finish the average, but will still have an official single time in the event. 
 
The second number listed is known as the Hard Cutoff Time. If a competitor's solve takes longer than this time, the attempt will be stopped and the solve will be deemed as a DNF. Like the Soft Cutoff Time, competitors will still have a minimum of two attempts (unless otherwise noted), even if they go past the Hard Cutoff Time on their first solve.
 

Blindfolded Cutoffs:

3x3 Blindfolded: The first two attempts must sum under 12:00. If the competitor can accomplish this, even if both of the attempts are DNF's, he/she will receive another attempt. The Hard Cutoff time for 3x3 Blindfolded is 15:00. All competitors will get a minimum of 2 attempts. 

4x4 Blindfolded: Competitors will have one hour to complete up to 3 attempts. Judges have to right to deny someone to start an attempt with <15 minutes remaining. 

3x3 Multiple-Blindfolded: The time allowed for the competitor is 10 minutes per cube, where the number of cubes is between 2 and 6. Any attempt over 6 cubes must be completed in an hour.
