SNHS SPEEDCUBING 2019

Rubik's Cube Competition

CUBE GUIDELINES:

1. The tournament requires the use of 3x3x3 Rubik's brand Cubes.

2. Competitors should bring and use their own cubes. Cubes will be available for loan if
needed or if any of your cubes do not meet the competition rules.
3. Cubes must be in reasonable working order, so that normal Cubes should not be
damaged, marked, or otherwise altered. It is acceptable to allow a small marking on
the center cube with the Rubik's logo, so a personal cube can be identified. By small,
we mean a colored dot, other symbol or initials.
4. Lubricating and/or sanding cubes is acceptable to make the cubes twist smoothly.
However, if for any reason the cube does not function correctly, falls apart or moves
out of the solved state accidentally once the timer has stopped, the cube is considered
unsolved and will not justify grounds for a "do over".

COMPETITION PROCEDURE:

(Elimination and Final Round)

1. Competitors must be ready to submit their cube for scrambling when requested.

2. Competitors’ Rubik’s Cubes must be fully solved when submitted for scrambling.

3. Scramblers will apply a computer-generated random scrambling sequence to the Rubik’s

Cubes. The same sequence will be used for all cubes in a heat, but a different sequence will
be used for each heat.

* Scrambling sequences will not be available to competitors before or during the Cubes will
be given back to competitors at the time of solving.

5. Competitors will have 15 seconds to view/handle the cube before starting to solve. No moves
or adjustments may be made to the cube at this time. The table judge will use a stopwatch
to monitor the 15 second time period.

6. At the end of the review period, the judge will prompt the competitor to begin solving.

7. Once the time has stopped, the competitor may not touch the cube until the time is recorded
on the scorecard.

In the Elimination round the participants is given maximum of 2 minutes and 30 seconds to solve
the cube. Those who were able to do so will move to the final round.
