How to Register

Please note that there are THREE steps you need to take to be entered into this competition:

1) The competitor must create a WCA account if they do not already have one (or their parent/guardian must create one for them).
2) The competitor must register for the competition using their WCA account, specifying which events they want to participate in. You will then be placed on a waiting list.
3) The competitor must pay the entry fee by buying a ticket on Quicket. Once your registration is matched to a ticket purchase, you will be approved from the waiting list.

If you haven't both registered for the competition (Step 2) and paid for a ticket (Step 3), you will not be able to compete.

Payment

After registering for the competition on the WCA website, your registration will be pending. Once the payment through Quicket has been confirmed, your registration will be approved. (Allow up to 24 hours for the organizers to confirm the payment).

Please note that if you do not purchase a ticket through Quicket within 48 hours of registering on this page, you will be removed from the waiting list, and will need to return to this page to register again.

While we encourage you to register through the WCA website, competitors may instead register on the spot on one of the days of the competition provided the competitor limit has not been reached. Note however, that the past few competitions in Gauteng have reached the competitor limit prior to the competition.

If you're a first-time competitior, we would love to have you! It doesn't matter how quickly you can solve the cube - everyone is there to have fun, make new friends, and do their best. If you're on the fence about going, take a look at this video giving a bit of insight into what a cube competition is like.

This competition runs over two days but you don't need to attend both days. Have a look on the schedule to see when the different events are happening so you can decide what days you should attend. For example, if you're only competing in 2x2 and 3x3, you only need to come on Sunday. Make sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before Registration ends on the first day you'll be competing. This helps us with entering everyone into the system and, if you're competing on the Sunday, ensures that you're on time for the "Tutorial for new competitors". As a first-time competitor, you don't want to miss this as we'll be going over all the details of how to participate in this competition.

You can also watch this tutorial video beforehand on how you'll complete your solves.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the delegates and organiser - we would be happy to help!

Q. What time should I arrive at the competition?
You should always be at the venue ready to compete 30 minutes before you are scheduled. It is strongly recommended to also attend the tutorial for first time competitors. You only need to be at the Registration if you have not registered online, or if you would like to change events.

Q. How old do I have to be to compete?
Anyone can compete at any age! We encourage anyone considering to compete to register as it will be a great experience regardless of age.

Q. How fast do I have to be to compete?
You only need to know how to solve the cube in under 10 minutes to compete! Refer to the Events tab to see specific time limits for later rounds and blindfolded events.

Q. How can I change my events?

Q. How do I find out if I've progressed to the second round?
Times will be uploaded through the day onto WCA Live. Please allow up to an hour from finishing your solves to them being uploaded. After all the times of a round have been entered, you can see if you are in the following round.
