1. In the first round of events with cutoffs, all competitors will get 1 or 2 solves, and only those who solve under the "cutoff" time will be allowed to complete all solves.

2. The time limits are strict times after which the competitor will not be allowed to finish his or her solve.

*Note: Competitors in 4x4 Blindfolded and 5x5 Blindfolded may complete a maximum of 3 solves, but must complete all solves within the time allotted for each event. At the main judge's discretion, competitors may not be allowed to start a solve within the last twenty minutes of the time allotted.
