Welcome to Beginner and Blind Cape Town 2024!
This competition focuses on blindfolded events on the Saturday and the more popular events on the Sunday. We've made the focus, particularly for Day 2, to get as many people as possible through to the second rounds so you'll get more opportunities to compete throughout the day. And then stick around for some fun in a 3x3 head to head finals to finish off the day.
All competitors are expected to help out with volunteering - judging, running, and scrambling - please see the Competitor Information and FAQ tabs.
A huge thanks to Speedcubes for sponsoring this competition! Please see the Sponsors tab for more information, and make sure to support the Speedcubes shop at the competition.
