How Do We Know How They’ve Done in the Competition? How Do I Know if They are Through to the Next Round?

Volunteers add competitors times to the WCA live results page during the competition at https://live.worldcubeassociation.org.

This allows you to see your young person’s time. If you forget the name of the site then ask a Delegate1 at a competition and they’ll be able to help.

Once all the results have been entered into the system (scroll to the bottom of the list and see if there are competitors with no times next to them), then all the competitors highlighted in green are through to the next round.

Alternatively some competitions are now using https://www.competitiongroups.com.

This allows you to see what group they are in for all rounds. Find the relevant competition on the website. Then find and click on their name. It shows you which groups competitors are in and is updated as the competition goes on.
