any number specifically, and are we strictly limited to those?

It depends on the number of teams that want to compete. In total we will have 1000 cubes. There will most likely be a set maximum number a group is allowed.

When will you guys know how many cubes (max) each group is allowed? This is useful for planning how big or complex to make the moasic.

(Also, nice to see more girl cubers!)

When is the registration expected to fill up?

This is the first competition in two years in this area, therefore it is unknown. The only way to secure your spot is to register as soon as possible.

Second Question: Will there be anyone vending there?

As of now, no. However, you can still trade and buy puzzles from other cubers.

I will release this number as soon as possible!

There will be maximum of 5 teams.
Each team is allowed up to 200 cubes.
Your design may use less than 200 cubes. It does not have to be rectangular (example: 10x20)
Clock is also being added as a tentative event. If you have already registered, please update your registration if you would like to potentially participate in clock.

Can you reply here when you have all 5 mosaic teams set? My friend signed me and himself up for it but we didn't want to start planning unless we knew we were actually doing it.
