Information

CubingZA is excited to announce the third Cape Town competition for 2023. This competition will focus on a variety of shorter, popular events, having multiple rounds of everything, as well as having some attempts of 4BLD and 5BLD in the morning. Don't forget that to participate you need to register for the competition in the "Register" tab, and make an EFT payment to confirm your entry. Please see Registration Requirements below.

SPECTATORS

Competitors are welcome to bring up to two spectators with them.

VOLUNTEERING

Please note that all competitors are required to assist with volunteering during the competition - either in the role of "runner", "judge" or "scrambler". These roles will be explained as part of the "New Competitor Tutorial", but you can take a look at this video.

For 4x4 and 5x5 Blindfolded, which will be in the early morning on both days, we ask for competitors to please reach out to us before the competition to volunteer to be judges during these events. By doing so and helping out, you will earn yourself a free cup of coffee/tea/hot chocolate!

SPONSORSHIP

A big thanks to Speedcubes who are sponsoring vouchers as a part of the prizes for this competition. They will have a stall set up at the venue for you to try out and buy the different speedcubes they have on offer.

LUCKY DRAW

During prize-giving after 3x3 Finals on Sunday, we will be having a Lucky Draw for two winners to receive R250 Speedcubes.co.za vouchers each with free shipping on their order! If you needed another reason to stick around and watch 3x3 Finals other than the amazing speed of some of Africa's top speedcubers, maybe you could be one of the lucky winners and walk away with some free cubes or apparel courtesy of our local speedcubing store.
