This competition has a high likelihood of incorporating Dual Rounds for the first time!
Dual Rounds is a new system where all competitors get to compete in 2 rounds, with no elimination between rounds. This means that slower competitors, or those who maybe messed up or DNFd in the first round will get another chance!
More details will follow, but we are looking to have Dual Rounds for both 3x3 and Pyraminx for this competition.

Please see the WCA Forum Page for Dual Rounds for further information on how Dual Rounds work.

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!

Q. What time should I arrive at the competition?
You should arrive for registration between 07:30 and 08:15 on Saturday morning. You should always be at the venue ready to compete 30 minutes before you are scheduled.

Q. How old do I have to be to compete?
Anyone can compete at any age! We encourage anyone considering to compete to register as it will be a great experience regardless of age.

Q. How fast do I have to be to compete?
You only need to know how to solve the 3x3 cube in under 10 minutes to compete! Refer to the Events tab to see specific Time limits and Cutoffs for other events.

Q. How can I change my events?
You can change your events by contacting the Organizers.

Q. How can I prepare before the competition day?
Before attending you should have read and understood the WCA regulations. Here is condensed version of the competitor tutorial. You don't need to know everything! Just try to get a basic idea.

Q. What do I need to bring?
You need to bring a puzzle for each event you are signed up to compete in - make sure they are allowed per the WCA regulations. To summarise, your cube should NOT have physical damage, such as very scratched up stickers, dents, or visibly broken pieces; it should only have ONE logo; it should not have any textures or patterns (so NO "carbon-fiber" cubes); and it must not have transparent pieces. If you are unsure whether your puzzle is competition-legal, please get in touch with a delegate to check. Many competitors also bring a 'warm up cube' to use between submitting their puzzle for scrambling and starting their official solve. All timing equipment is provided.

Q. How do I find out if I've progressed to the second round?
Times will be uploaded through the day onto WCA Live. Please allow up to an hour from finishing your solves to them being uploaded. After all the times of a round have been entered, you can see if you are in the following round.

Q. Who can I ask for help on the day?
Your Delegate for this competition is Maverick Pearson. Feel free to ask any questions you may have on the day about the rules and regulations. The competition organisers are Maverick and Daniel Mizen. Ask them if you have any queries about the competition schedule, cutoffs, time limits, and advancement to subsequent rounds.

Q. Can I help on the day?
Definitely! Throughout the day we will always need judges and runners so please see our Delegates to ask how you can best assist.

Q. How can I find out about upcoming competitions in South Africa?
You can find out about upcoming competitions in South Africa by signing up on CubingZA or checking the WCA Competitions page.
