Public Transport Update

Unfortunately due to track works, buses will be replacing trains along Northern lines, including Morayfield station for the whole weekend.

This means that Google Maps is inaccurate for planning journeys with public transport.

Railbuses will be departing every 30mins from Bowen Hills to Morayfield Station in the morning and may take longer than trains do.

If you intend to get to this competition using public transport, please check the notice from Translink here and please plan your journeys with the Translink journey planner.

Spectators are permitted and may enter FREE of charge.

We encourage spectators and it is often good to come watch first to understand how a competition operates. You will then know what to do when you do compete. There are also plenty of opportunities to get involved as a volunteer. If you would like a judging tutorial please approach a Delegate, they will be wearing the bright red polo shirts.

Spectators are encouraged to learn how to judge. Tingman has made an excellent video that tells you everything you need to know. We will run a judging tutorial at the same time as the new competitor tutorial and you can also have someone teach you how to judge later in the day. Judging is not difficult and you don't need to be a cuber to be a successful judge, it is an excellent way to make the time fly by!

No tickets are required for spectators but we ask you to avoid the busy morning period.
