Information

CubingZA is excited to announce our first series competition in Joburg.

SERIES COMPETITION

There will be two competitions happening on Saturday the 25th - you need to choose ONE to sign up for.
* The Morning Competition will only feature 3x3 - we will aim to have 3-4 rounds of 3x3, depending how much time is available.
* The Afternoon Competition will feature 3x3, 4x4 and 3x3 one-handed - there will be more strict cutoff/advancement criteria for the Afternoon Competition, in order to fit all the events into the time we have available.

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.

SPONSORSHIP

A big thanks to Solve-it Puzzles 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.
