Information

INFORMATION
CubingZA is excited to announce Deep South Solving 2024! This competition is mainly focused on the less popular events, from bigger NxNs like 5x5, 6x6 and 7x7, to side events like megaminx and clock, and even blind events!
Don't forget that to participate you need to register for the competition in the "Register" tab, and make payment by buying a ticket. Please see Registration Requirements below.

MYSTERY PRIZES
We will include some fun prizes at this competition and there will be some interesting prizes to claim!

SPECTATORS
Competitors are welcome to bring 1 spectator with them. Please let us know if you need to accommodate more spectators.

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.
Note: this competition has a much smaller competitor limit, meaning most rounds will not need runners as the majority of the rounds will be done with fixed seating.
