About the WCA

Mission

The World Cube Association governs competitions for all puzzles labelled as Rubik puzzles, and all other puzzles that are played by twisting the sides, so-called 'twisty puzzles'. Most famous of these puzzles is the Rubik's Cube, invented by professor Rubik from Hungary. A selection of these puzzles are chosen as official events of WCA.

The World Cube Association organises competitions all over the world, supported by national organisations responsible for organising competitions in their countries.

The goal of the World Cube Association is to have
  more competitions in more countries with more people and more fun, under fair conditions

The spirit of the World Cube Association is that
  people from all over the world have fun together in a friendly atmosphere, help each other and behave sportsmanlike.
