Registration Process

Before You Register
All prospective registrants need a WCA account. New competitors can create their own WCA account by clicking here and entering the required information.

How to Register Online
Prospective competitors register by:
1. Signing into their WCA account;
2. Clicking "Register" on the left side of this webpage, selecting the events they would like to compete in, and submitting their registration;
3. Paying the registration fee of $20.00. (The registration fee is the same regardless of how many events are selected.) Your registration is not complete until you have paid the registration fee.

The competitor limit for this competition is 20. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 20 competitors on that list, it means the competition is full, and any future registrants will be placed on the waitlist.

Competitors MUST register and pay online in order to compete. No at-the-door registrations or payments will be accepted.

Any requested changes to registration before Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at 11:59 PM EDT will be honored. Your registration is not complete until your name shows up on the list.

How to Pay for Registration Online
Payment is processed through Stripe. Click on the "Register" tab on the left side of the webpage to register and pay all in one place! You can start the payment process by clicking "Pay your fees with card."

Refunds
Approved competitors who cancel their registration before Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at 11:59 PM EDT are eligible for a refund for half (50%) of their registration cost. After this date, no refund requests will be honored. Attempting to file a chargeback for the registration fee will lead to being blacklisted from future WCA events.

Waitlist Information
We will be keeping a waitlist for this competition. To secure a place on the waitlist once 20 competitors have paid, simply pay the registration fee. If a competitor emails us to drop out before Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at 11:59 PM EDT you will be notified if you are the next competitor on the waitlist. After that deadline, all remaining competitors on the waitlist will be emailed letting them know they did not get off the waitlist and will be fully refunded.

Cumulative Time Limit Checker

• This competition will be divided into 2 groups of 10 competitors. Groups will last approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes each. Competitors must help judge/scramble for the group in which they're not solving.
• All competitors MUST arrive by 6:30pm and stay until the end of the competition, regardless of which group they are assigned to compete in. Any competitor who does not arrive at this time or attempts to leave early will be subject to disqualification, including at future competitions.
• There is a 15 minute cumulative time limit for each competitor to complete as many solves/events as possible. Times for any DNFs must be recorded in parentheses.
• Competitors may do the events in any order they wish. Once they've started an event, they must complete all solves for that event or DNS the remaining solves before moving on to a different event.
• If you are expecting a result over 8 minutes, please inform the Delegate/Judge. This will allow us to properly use a stopwatch to time the attempt in addition to the stackmat timer, so that if you exceed 10 minutes the time can be accurately taken from the stopwatch.
• We will not be asking everyone to keep quiet for 3x3 Blindfolded. Those attempts will be done in a "noisy" room.

This competition will be taking place at 8 Westchester Plaza, Suite 195 in Elmsford, New York. Your GPS may take you to the wrong side of the building, so just keep driving around the building until you reach a dead end. There is plenty of free parking right outside of the venue.

Due to the limited space, each competitor can bring at most 1 guest in order to maintain safety and manage the pace of the competition. We strongly encourage competitors to avoid bringing a guest if possible.

TheCubicle will be sponsoring and providing prizes for this competition.
