For Newcomers
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 to know a couple things before coming to compete.
When you arrive, make sure you check in with a WCA delegate at the check-in desk. There will be a check-in period from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm for newcomers.
Please be familiar with the WCA Regulations, which can be found here. There is a lot to go over but the most important parts are articles 2, 3, and A, so if you can't go over all the regulations please go over those three sections!
Additionally, this video will explain almost everything one will need to know about competing for the first time; however, it is still required that all competitors are still familiar with the full set of regulations above.
If you are 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 registered for the competition, and one step closer to your first WCA competition!
You can also watch this tutorial on how to create a WCA account and register with the new registration system!
