School Groups Going to Competitions

[CoderGuru]

Don’t know if this is the right place, but here we are.

Registration etc. is quite right normally for cubing competitions, but do you think that if a school were to get 10-15 students and want to attend a comp as a school trip, if they would be allowed in (special registration or smth) or if something would go on differently? Just thinking out loud.

 

[randomness...]

i dont think so, as of right now it isnt too popular for kids to be solving.
its an interesting idea, and i do hope to see it in the future.
(add)
Maybe if it did get more popular, and there were multiple schools going to a competition, then it would maybe be recognized?

I don't think you would have to do anything differently. Just sign up as normal, make sure everyone registers who wants to participate. There is nothing that prevents groups of people signing up and going there "together"

Many competitions also allow spectators, so it would be okay for a teacher to chaperone the students.

What about if some students dont get in (with what the kids in my school are like im expecting that)

There’s a bit of concern regarding exam season but not a bad idea.
