Q. How do I register for this competition?
A. You'll need a WCA Account to register. Once registration has opened, you can register at the register button to your left or at this link. Select the events you'll be competing in and any comments you'd like the organization team to know. After pressing Register, you'll be prompted to pay using Stripe. You must pay your registration fee to be eligible to compete. If there is still space in the competition and you do not receive an email saying your registration has been accepted within 48 hours of paying, please contact the organization team. If the competitor limit does not fill during registration, we will accept a limited number of on the spot registrations, up to the original competitor limit.
Q. How can I prepare for the competition day?
A. Competitors should understand the WCA Regulations before competing. We will have a New Competitor Tutorial at the beginning of the day where you can learn and ask questions.
Q. Who should I ask if I have any questions?
A. Before the competition, you can contact the organization team with any questions with our contact form. During the competition, you can speak to a delegate. Your delegates for this competition are Vianne Chang, Kevin Matthews, and Laura Plourde.
Q. What are groups? How can I find which ones I'm in?
A. Groups are how we determine when each competitor competes. During each round, we will have several groups that will be called up in succession. When the group in which you're supposed to compete is called, please come up to the cube dropoff table and submit your puzzle. When the group you're judging is called, come up and find an empty station to judge. Groups will be printed on your nametag the day of the competition, and can also be found at competitiongroups.com.
Q. How old do I have to be to compete?
A. WCA Competitions are open to cubers of any age! We do not have age groups so all competitors compete with each other. For some events, the groups will be sorted by speed, so you will be competing against cubers of the same skill.
Q. What do I need to bring to the competition?
A. You'll need to bring the puzzles required for any event you'll be competing in. Most competitors like to bring other cubes to warm up with. All timing equipment will be supplied by the WCA Delegates at the competition. There will also be a "Library of Cubes" at the competition, for anyone who needs to borrow a cube or wants to learn a new event.
Q. Where can I find results for this competition?
A. Live results will be visible on the WCA Live and will be posted on the WCA Website shortly after the competition. If it's your first competition, you'll get a WCA ID when results are posted to the WCA Website.
Q. How can I have a competition in my hometown?
A. For any suggestions on future Saskatchewan competitions, contact Alberta Cubers here. For those near the Minnesota or North Dakota border, please reach out to the Minnesota delegates here. You can stay updated on Canadian competitions by signing up to the Speedcubing Canada mailing list here.
