Announced by João Vinícius de A. Santos on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at 9:05 PM UTC

Dear WCA Community,

In the first quarter of 2025, the WCA Quality Assurance Committee (WQAC) has been developing initiatives to improve overall quality in the World Cube Association. Here are the main updates within the Committee in the last few months:

The WQAC is currently working in three different areas: Projects, Investigations, and the Learning Management System (LMS).

In the Projects area, the Committee has developed an update to the WCA Scramble Accountability Policy (WSAP) in line with the 2025 Regulations and Guidelines.

In the Investigations area, the WQAC has conducted investigations regarding quality issues at competitions, such as:

  • Unfair extras given by Delegates;
  • Delegates influencing organizers to add their favorite events to competitions;
  • Lack of communication in WCA Teams;
  • Unusual handling of scramble sets;
  • Failing to follow the WSAP and WCA Regulations
