Time Zone
You are viewing this schedule in the following timezone setting:

Spectators are permitted and may enter FREE of charge.

We encourage spectators and it is often good to come watch first to understand how a competition operates. HOWEVER, it is very important to note that this particular competition only contains 3x3x3 Blidfolded, 4x4x4 Blindfolded, 5x5x5 Blindfolded, Megamins and 3x3x3 Multi-blind. It DOES NOT contain the standard 3x3 Cube and/or any of the popular events. Some of these events require complete silence for the competitors to concentrate. If you wish to see how a competion works, we would advise coming to a competition that contains the 3x3 Cube, and other popular events.

Spectators are encouraged to learn how to judge. Tingman has made an excellent video that tells you everything you need to know. Judging is not difficult and you don't need to be a cuber to be a successful judge, it is an excellent way to make the time fly by! You can ask Delegate on the day, and they can teach you.

No tickets are required for spectators but we ask you to avoid the busy morning period.
