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 3X3, 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!
