Schedule for Saturday (May 04, 2024)
Schedule
- Blindfolded events will be held before lunch; all other events will be held after lunch.
- For the events after lunch, the competition will be divided into three groups. Due to the format of this competition, you must be present for all groups and help out for the groups you are not competing in. Failure to attend all groups will result in disqualification from the competition and possibly being reported to the WCA Disciplinary Committee.
- All competitors should attend the competitor tutorial at noon where we will discuss details specific to this competition.
- If the third group finishes at 6 p.m. or earlier, finals will be held for the 2nd most popular event other than 3x3.
- If the third group finishes at 6:30 p.m. or earlier, finals will be held for the most popular event other than 3x3.
- If the third group finishes at 7 p.m. or earlier, 3x3 finals will be held.
Competing
- In the morning, competitors will have a combined time limit of 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete solves in the following events: 3x3 Bliindfolded, 4x4 Blindfolded, and 5x5 Blindfolded.
- In the afternoon, competitors will have a combined time limit of 35 minutes to complete solves in the following events: 2x2-7x7, 3x3 One-Handed, Clock, Megaminx, Pyraminx, Skewb, and Square-1.
- If you reach the cumulative time limit during a solve, the judge will stop you and the result will be DNF. The remaining solves in the event will be recorded as DNS (Did Not Start).
- Once you begin solves in an event, you must complete the average or DNS the remaining solves before moving onto another event. Exception: for 4x4 Blindfolded and 5x5 Blindfolded, competitors may do individual solves in any order.
- A spreadsheet will be emailed to all competitors to keep track of the total time you have remaining.
- If you think your solve will take longer than 8 minutes, please inform the judge before starting so that two stopwatches can be obtained. The first stopwatch will be used to time inspection as usual. When you start the Stackmat timer, the judge will start the second stopwatch at the same time. This will allow your time to be retrieved from the stopwatch in case it exceeds 10 minutes.
Registration
- This competition is in series with Countless Cubes Chicagoland B. If you register for both, only the first registration will be accepted unless you notify us otherwise.
- Registrations will be accepted in the order that they are paid.
- Waitlisting for both competitions at the same time is allowed; if you do, please write your preferred competition in the registration comments.
- Events may be added or removed from your registration by contacting the organization team.
- If you are not as experienced or a newcomer, you should consider signing up for Countless Cubes Chicagoland B scheduled for the next day (Sunday).

Unfortunately, no. In order to keep the competition running smoothly, we have to stay on schedule.
When do I need to show up?
Look at the schedule on the competition website. You must be present and ready to compete during all events that you are registered for, along with showing up for the format explaination. The schedule is subject to change. We recommend coming about 15-30 minutes before the new competitor tutorial, or your first event, whichever comes first.
