If you're a first-time competitior, we would love to have you! It doesn't matter how quickly you can solve the cube - everyone is there to have fun, make new friends, and do their best. If you're on the fence about going, take a look at this video giving a bit of insight into what a cube competition is like.

This competition runs over two days but you don't need to attend both days. Have a look on the schedule to see when the different events are happening so you can decide what days you should attend. For example, if you're only competing in 5x5, you only need to come on Sunday. Make sure to arrive at least 15 minutes before Registration ends on the first day you'll be competing. This helps us with entering everyone into the system and ensures that you're on time for the "Tutorial for new competitors". As a first-time competitor, you don't want to miss this as we'll be going over all the details of how to participate in this competition.

You can also watch this tutorial video beforehand on how you'll complete your solves.

We will also be sending out a pre-competition email before the competition with some more information so keep an eye out for that.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the delegates and organiser - we would be happy to help!

Information for all competitors:

• Please help judge! These competitions need lots of volunteers to run smoothly and on time, judges are the main roles that require the most help. It is also very easy to do, even non-cubers and parents can do it! If you are unsure of the procedure we will explain it as a part of the new competitor tutorial which will take place at the start of each day. If you still don't quite understand we are happy to show you anytime throughout the rest or the competition. And you may judge in any round you like throughout the competition.
• However if you are competing in an event then you are expected to also help out. We understand if you need time to warm-up so we would really appreciate it if you could judge in the group immediately following yours. For example if you are competing in group 2, please help judge in group 3 etc. If there are only 2 groups, we expect you to help out in the other group.
• No flash photography under any circumstance within the venue. It is extremely destracting to competitors while they are competing. You are more than welcome to record or take pictures as long as your flash is off.
• Make sure to keep your space clean and tidy. Please put all your rubbish into the bins or take it home with you when you leave.
• There are hundreds of puzzles within the venue at all times. Make sure to keep your cubes together to ensure that you don't lose any!

Do I need to be at both days if I am only competing on one day?

No, you only have to be there on the day that you are competing. Make sure to check out the schedule tab to see when you compete. We suggest arriving at the competition at least 30 minutes prior to your event in case we run ahead of schedule.

Where can I view my results?

On the competition days all results will be uploaded to WCA Live. Just search for the competition name under the "upcoming" tab. After the competition has ended, it will take a few days for the official results to be uploaded to the WCA main site.
