Information

CubingZA is excited to announce a new Cape Town competition for 2024. This competition is designed as a warmup/rankings qualifier for the African Championships that is coming up in September, so we will have plenty of events and plenty of rounds. 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."

CHANGES TO THE FORMAT


We are wanting to maximise the opportunities for all the cubers in our community and as a result we have decided to make the qualifying criteria for second rounds and finals to be much more achievable. Our goal is to have more people competing in more rounds of solving!!

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 allocated prior to the event and explained as part of the "New Competitor Tutorial", but you can take a look at this video.

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.
