Information

CubingZA is excited to announce a new Cape Town competition for 2024. This comp will focus on the original cube, the 3x3x3, and the varying ways to solve it - with two hands, one-handed, blindfolded, and in the fewest moves; and we will round out the events with some 2x2, 4x4, and Megaminx. Don't forget that to participate you need to register for the competition in the "Register" tab, and make payment by buying a ticket. Please see Registration Requirements below."

SPECTATORS

Competitors are welcome to bring 2 spectators with them. Please let us know if you need to accommodate more spectators.

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.

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.
