Jokaisen kilpailijan pitää tuntea ja ymmärtää WCA:n säännöt ennen kilpailuun osallistumista.
WCA:n kilpailun suomenkieliset säännöt löydät täältä. Lue artiklat 3 ja A erityisen tarkasti.

Ennen kilpailua, rekisteröinnin jälkeen, järjestetään kilpailu- ja tuomarointiopastus, johon jokaisen kilpailijan tulisi osallistua.

Tärkeimpänä:
* Salamavalon käyttö kvuatessa on kielletty
* Yleisön on pysyttävä ainakin 1,5 metrin päässä ratkaisupaikoista
* Ratkaisujen kuvaaminen on sallittua kunhan kameran näyttö on joko pois päältä tai suunnattu kilpailijasta poispäin
* Perehdy erityyppisiin rangaistuksiin
* Jos et ole varma rangaistuksesta, kutsu delegaatti paikalle
* Jos uskot kilpailijan ansaitsevan ylimääräisen yrityksen, kutsu delegaatti paikalle
* Älä pyöritä kuutioita tai käytä puhelinta tuomaroidessa
* Älä koske muilta kilpailijoilta irronneisiin paloihin
* Pidä huoli siitä, että aika on kirjoitettu tuloskorttiin selvästi
* Älä unohda laittaa nimikirjaimiasi tuloskorttiin joka yrityksen jälkeen

* Flash photography is not permitted
* The audience must stay at least 1.5 meters away from the solving stations
* You are allowed to film your attempts as long as the camera's screen is either off or pointed away from you
* Be familiar with the different types of penalties
* If you unsure of the penalty, ask for a delegate
* If you believe the competitor deserves an extra attempt, ask for a delegate
* Do not cube or use your phone as a judge
* Do not touch popped pieces of other competitors
* Make sure that the time written down is not ambiguous in any way
* Don't forget to sign your attempts
