Information

CubingZA is excited to announce the second Cape Town competition for 2023. This competition will take on a "Big & Weird" theme on Saturday, with bigger NxN cubes and some side events not often held in Cape Town, with a more familiar event structure on Sunday! Don't forget that to participate you need to register for the competition in the "Register" tab, and make payment by buying a ticket on our Quicket page.

SPECTATORS

Competitors are welcome to bring up to two spectators with them.

VOLUNTEERING

Please note that all competitors are required to assist with volunteering during the competition - either in the role of "runner", "judge" or "scrambler". These roles will be explained as part of the "New Competitor Tutorial", but you can take a look at this video.

SPONSORSHIP

A big thanks to Speedcubes who are sponsoring vouchers as a part of the prizes for this competition. They will have a stall set up at the venue for you to try out and buy the different speedcubes they have on offer.

LUCKY DRAW

During prize-giving after 3x3 Finals on Sunday, we will be having a Lucky Draw for two winners to receive R250 Speedcubes.co.za vouchers each with free shipping on their order! If you needed another reason to stick around and watch 3x3 Finals other than the amazing speed of some of Africa's top speedcubers, maybe you could be one of the lucky winners and walk away with some free cubes or apparel courtesy of our local speedcubing store.
