This is the 2024 Texas FMC Championship structured around the third annual Texas Championship, part of a series of State Championships supported by CubingUSA. The goal of these competitions is to allow competitors from all over the country to compete for state titles.

While only residents of the Texas are eligible to win the title of Texas FMC Champion, residents of any state or country are welcome and encouraged to compete!

The deadline to officially declare your Texas residency by listing your home state on your CubingUSA account is Friday, December 6th, 2024 at 11:59 PM CDT. Only those who declare residency by the deadline will be eligible for the Texas FMC Champion title. If you achieve a state champion title, you may be asked to verify your residency at the competition.

Fewest Moves Challenge, or FMC, is a quiet event where competitors are given a scramble and have one hour to find the shortest solution. The regulations for the event can be found here, but below are the most important things to remember:

You can only use up to 3 3x3s
Your solution must be 80 moves or less. Rotations are included in this 80 move limit, but are not counted in the final solution.
You can only use outer face move turns to solve the puzzle - no slice moves!
You may use wide moves to move 2 layers at once (e.g. Rw), but they must be written correctly. Rw' is valid notation, but R'w or r' will result in a DNF.
You may use rotations (x, y, z), but they must be written correctly - x follows R, y follows U, z follows F. Notation such as (x) or [r] is not valid.

If you are interested, we recommend giving it a try!
