Competition Guide - At the Competition
- Eat a big breakfast
As the organizer, you may be very busy the day of the competition, so you might not have time for lunch.
- Set-up early.
It is important to arrive at the venue early to setup so that the competition starts on time. If you fall behind schedule early in the day, it will be very difficult to stick to the original schedule and you may have to eliminate events.
- Make sure there are judges/scramblers available.
If you do not have judges and scramblers working at all times, the competition will be delayed. If this happens, it will be difficult to maintain
the schedule or even continue with the competition.
- Make sure somebody is available for data entry at all times.
In order to calculate the averages in a timely manner to determine winners and round advancements, times should be entered into the Excel worksheet as they happen. This will also allow you to send the results to the WCA Board as soon as the competition is over.
- Enforce all rules.
Enforcing all rules of the competition is very important. If rules are broken, the integrity of the competition is at risk and all results may have to be nullified. Therefore, it is important to be knowledgeable about all rules and regulations established by the WCA.
- Have a copy of the regulations handy.
In case of a discrepancy, it is essential to have a copy of the WCA regulations available to determine the outcome of the situation. The WCA delegate should know all of these rules.
- Make the competition unique.
Having something unique to your competition, such as special guests or events, will attract more cubers and make it more fun.
