Please note:
* 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.

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, 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 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.

We will also be sending out a pre-competition email before the competition with some more information so keep an eye out for that.

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

Do I need to be at both days if I am only competing on one day?

No, you only have to be there on the day that you are competing. Make sure to check out the schedule tab to see when you compete. We suggest arriving at the competition at least 30 minutes prior to your event in case we run ahead of schedule.

Where can I view my results?

On the competition days all results will be uploaded to WCA Live. Just search for the competition name under the "upcoming" tab. After the competition has ended, it will take a few days for the official results to be uploaded to the WCA main site.
