You’ve asked. We’ve said yes! Speedcubing is AGAIN coming to the township of Langley! Similar to last year, we look forward to a full house of 90 competitive cubers, this time on SATURDAY MAY 4th, 2019.
The lunch and snack concession is back and CAD or USD CASH is required at the competition for those wishing to eat on site here.
Calling for your volunteer help. Those previously experienced as scramblers, judges and runners willing to gift some of their time are asked to e-mail Lindy to say that of course you're in!
Volunteering is fun, engages you fully in the day and, with plenty of help, keeps the competition events moving along in a timely manner. A judging tutorial will be provided just prior to the start of the day.
Anyone who volunteers- yes, parents, too- are eligible to put their name in our draw for little thank you prizes!
See you all there and we appreciate you emailing in to volunteer a portion of your day.

Newcomers to Cubing Competitions
For those of you new to cubing- WELCOME!
We wanted to let you know this event is fine for cubers of any age and experience. We just ask you know a couple things before coming to compete...
First, please be familiar with the WCA Regulations, found here:
https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/
Of course, those regulations contain a lot of legalese, so we have a video made specifically for new cubers, just to show them the basics of competing. This video will explain most of what any cuber competing for the first time will need to know.
