For those of you new to cubing, WELCOME!
We wanted to let you know this event is perfectly fine for cubers of any age and experience. We just ask you know a couple things before coming to compete...
First, please be familiar with the WCA Regulations, found here:
https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/
In addition to reading over the regulations, we encourage new cubers to watch this video, just to learn the basics of competing. This video will explain most of what any cuber competing for the first time will need to know.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPL3eV-A0ww&t=2s
There is also this new written competitor tutorial from the WCA.
https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/files/WCA_Competition_Tutorial.pdf
If you have any questions after this video, we will be having a new competitor tutorial, the morning of the competition. That would be the perfect time to ask those questions and clear up any confusion.
If you are stoked to compete and ready to sign up, head over to the registration tab, click register, and fill out the information it asks for. This will help you get set up the WCA's system and one step closer to your first official solve!
Q&A:
Q: Do I use my own cube to compete?
A: YES! You are responsible for your own hardware in order to compete.
Q: What is the normal age of competitors at these events?
A: All ages are welcome, but in general competitors are between 10 and 20 years old. Don't let this stop you though, everyone can and should cube!
Q: What is the competition like?
A; Competitions are a bunch of tables where nerds like us get to sit and discuss our favorite thing, Cubes! Of course in addition there is competing, which will occupy one side of the competition hall, where you will see lots of timers flickering with contestants new personal bests, Most competitions have a break for lunch, and the competing is split up into heats, as to better organize who competes when. (Check the Groups tab and listen at the competition for more info on this.)
Q: How do I find results?
A: All results are posted on the WCA page a couple of days after the competition finishes. However, for the day of competing, go to Cubecomps.com to find information about current events. This is also where you will find information about 2nd and 3rd rounds of events.
Q: Why am I not on the registration list yet?
A: Make sure you pay your entrance fee in order to be automatically placed on the registered list, which will also guarantee you a spot in the competition. If payment may be an issue, or you are not sure if you can attend, use the contact button to talk to us, and we can see if we can work out another payment strategy, or have you pay on arrival at the competition. No matter what your situation may be however, please register online. It is much easier for us to have you register now and pay later, then to have to input information at another time.
Q: Are there age divisions?
A: Nope! All cometitors compete in the same group.
Q: Can I have fun at this event?
A: OF COURSE! Cubing is amazing, and we sincerely hope you enjoy the competition!
We will not be calling names, only groups. These groups will be emailed to competitors. You do not need to print out your group assignments as you will receive a printed copy of them at the start of the competition. They will be on a table as you walk in. Please only take your own. All competitors will also be required to help judge. The competitor tutorial at the beginning of the day will go over this as well. If you have any questions about the process, find any staff member and they will be happy to assist you. More experienced competitors may have scrambling duties in addition to or instead of judging. These assignments are posted with the groups as well. If you don't show up to help, we reserve the right to disqualify you from that event. If you show up to judge, and all of the judging stations are full, find an organizer or delegate and we will have you run or scramble depending on what needs help. If you wish to help for the full day, consider applying for staff in the staff tab.
Groups can be found here.
Live results will be posted to cubecomps, with an exact link posted closer to the competition. Here you can see round rankings to know if you have advanced to a later round. You can also see a personal page with all of your results for the competition.

If you do not wish to compete in an event that you signed up for, you do not need to notify us. Just don't show up for the round.
