In the same style as the Rubik’s Relay Cup at Oceanics 2022, the relay is back in the form of the States Cup! In this exciting knockout event, teams of 3 cubers from the same Australian state or territory will battle it out to find which state is fastest in Australia. This crowd favourite event will be run on Saturday Evening.

Teams consisting of 3 cubers from the same Australian state or territory will be selected to participate in the States Cup. Teams from outside of Australia will not be permitted entry into the cup.

Registration for States Cup has now closed.

States Cup Regulations:

  • The competition format is a simple 16 team seeded knockout tournament.
  • Each competitor will solve a single 3x3 cube, one after another. The winning team is determined by the fastest total time.
  • Standard WCA penalties (e.g. misalignment, timer stops/starts) apply for the solves.
  • The members solve one 3x3x3 cube one after the other. Thus, there are 3 timers, 3 cubes and 3 competitors on the table.
  • The second and third timers must be started only when the previous member has finished their solve and has put back the 2 hands on the timers.
  • Inspection time applies to all 3 members at the same time.
  • After 12 seconds of inspection, all 3 members of the same team must release their own cube on the mat, hold their two hands on the timers.
  • The effective start of the 2 teams giving battle is given by the judge or official speaker.
  • When the first solver is cubing, the second and third ones must hold their 2 hands on their timers. Same rule for the third solver while the second is solving their cube. Penalty: DNF.
  • The second and third team members may continue inspecting while their teammate(s) are solving the cube, but must do so with their hands remaining on the timer.
  • The winning team will be the team with the lowest total time.
  • In case of the same total times, the best individual solve is used to declare the winning team.
  • This is an unofficial team event, no results will be stored in the WCA database.
  • As this is an experimental format, the judges for this event may exercise discretion in the case of disagreements and rule interpretation - their decision will be final.

Time limit

If you reach the time limit during your solve, the judge will stop you and your result will be DNF (see Regulation A1a4).
A cumulative time limit may be enforced (see Regulation A1a2).

Cutoff

Format
