For First-Time Competitors

All newcomers must be familiar with the WCA Regulations before competing. This video gives a basic overview of the rules.

In addition, please read this tutorial document before coming to the competition.

For All Competitors

When you arrive, you will receive a card with personalized information detailing your events and what group you will be competing in for each event. In addition, you will also have judging/scrambling assignments on your card. Every competitor is expected to help out during the event(s) they are registered for. The card will look like the following:

If you do not arrive to help during your scheduled event, and there are not enough staff members, we reserve the right to disqualify you from competing.

Registration Process

Before You Register

All prospective registrants need a WCA account. New competitors can create their own WCA account by clicking here and entering the required information.

How to Register Online

Prospective competitors register by:
1. Signing into their WCA account;
2. Clicking "Register" on the left side of this webpage, selecting the events they would like to compete in, and submitting their registration;
3. Paying the registration fee of $30.00. (The registration fee is the same regardless of how many events are selected.) Your registration is not complete until you have paid the registration fee.

The competitor limit for this competition is 80. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 80 competitors on that list, it means the competition is full, and any future registrants will be placed on the waitlist.

Competitors MUST register and pay online in order to compete. No at-the-door registrations or payments will be accepted.

Any requested changes to registration before 11:59 PM EDT on Saturday, March 29, 2025 will be honored. Your registration is not complete until your name shows up on the list.

How to Pay for Registration Online

Payment is processed through Stripe. Click on the "Register" tab on the left side of the webpage to register and pay all in one place! You can start the payment process by clicking "Pay your fees with card."

Refunds

Approved competitors who cancel their registration before 11:59 PM EDT on Saturday, March 29, 2025, are eligible for a refund for half (50%) of their registration cost. After this date, no refund requests will be honored. Attempting to file a chargeback for the registration fee will lead to being blacklisted from future WCA events.

Waitlist Information

We will be keeping a waitlist for this competition. To secure a place on the waitlist once 80 competitors have paid, simply pay the registration fee. If a competitor emails us to drop out before 11:59 PM EDT on Saturday, March 29, you will be notified if you are the next competitor on the waitlist. After that deadline, all remaining competitors on the waitlist will be emailed letting them know they did not get off the waitlist and will be fully refunded.

This competition is a part of the Cube Against Cancer competition series. To support our mission, please bring at least one unopened 3x3 cube, which will be donated to a pediatric cancer patient.

Cube Against Cancer is in collaboration with Ethan’s Ohana, a charity founded by Brian Perry in honor of his son Ethan. Ethan battled T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, and during treatment, Ethan learned to solve the cube and became obsessed like all of us. The cube provided great comfort to Ethan during his treatment, but the cancer got the best of him, and Ethan passed on March 25, 2021. Ethan’s Ohana honors his legacy by donating cubes, puzzles, and toys to pediatric cancer patients. You can learn more about Ethan’s Ohana at EthansOhana.org

Cube Against Cancer began in Houston and has brought in over 300 cubes to date. This year, competitions are being held throughout the USA and Canada, all aiming to provide comfort through cubes to cancer patients. To learn more about Cube Against Cancer, please visit CubeAgainstCancer.org

TheCubicle will be providing prizes for the winners!

There are many options for lunch within 1.5 miles of the venue. Fast food options include Wendy's, Burger King, Subway, Blasdell Pizza, and others which may be a little further away. If you would like to dine in at lunch, Denny's, The Ridge, and Christie's are closeby, but do keep in mind lunch is only 40 minutes. However, if you are not competing in 3BLD, there is roughly an additional 30 minutes for lunch.
