If an accepted competitor pulls out of the competition, the next competitor on the waiting list will be automatically accepted. We will also contact you by email if you are on the waiting list and a spot opens up for you.
Once the refund date has passed (see General info tab), waiting list competitors will have their registrations deleted and their reg fee refunded.

If registration is closed, competitors can no longer be added to the waiting list.

If your registration has been accepted and you no longer intend on competing, please contact us ASAP so we may allocate your spot to the next person on the waiting list. If the refund date has not yet passed, you will receive a refund according to the refund policy.

New Competitors

If you are a new competitor, we do not recommend this competition for you. This competition only has 3x3 Fewest Moves, where you are given an hour to write down a solution to a 3x3 scramble in as few moves as possible. If you're looking for a competition for your first, we highly recommend Irish Championship 2023 the week after this competition, as you'll be able to compete in 3x3, 2x2, Skewb, Pyraminx and other events in this year's National Championship!

If you are a new competitor, it is important that you are familiar with the Regulations. Especially the regulations about the event Fewest Moves Challenge.

New competitors must bring some form of ID to show at the competition to confirm the name, the country they wish to compete for, and the date of birth registered with. The usual items of ID that people bring are Passports, Birth Certificates, Driver's Licenses, etc. As long as it has your name, date of birth, and country, then it will be fine.

If you have any questions, we recommend that you check the FAQ in case it has been asked before. But you are more than welcome to contact us at the link on the General Info page.
