This is a favourites competition, you may choose at most five (5) events out of the 13 listed. You will be asked to help out with your events and up to three other events that you don't compete in. This is a unique competition, only possible by everyone's assistance. We appreciate all your help to keep us on schedule. If you can all help to make this a success we would like to do this again, so you can compete in the events you want more often.

You can pick any kind of combination of events that you want to do, as long as the total is 5 events or less. The competition schedule will likely be adjusted based on the registration numbers per event. If you have any questions about the format, don't hesistate and reach out through the 'Organization team' button.

Q. How do I register for this competition?

A. Registration for this competition opens on Friday, July 10, 2026 at 7:00 PM MDT and will be open until Friday, September 11, 2026 at 6:00 PM MDT. If this competition fills up exceptionally fast, registration might close earlier. You'll need a WCA Account to register. Once registration has opened, you can register at the register button to your left or at this link. Select the events you'll be competing in and any comments you'd like the organization team to know. After pressing Register, you'll be prompted to pay using Stripe. You must pay your registration fee to be eligible to compete. If there is still space in the competition and you do not receive an email saying your registration has been accepted within 48 hours of paying, please contact the organization team.

Q. How can I prepare for the competition day?

A. Competitors should understand the WCA Regulations before competing. For something a little more digestable, you can read the WCA Competitor Tutorial or watch this video guide. We will have a New Competitor Tutorial at the beginning of the day where you can learn and ask questions.

Q. Who should I ask if I have any questions?

A. Before the competition, you can contact the organization team with any questions with our contact form. During the competition, you can speak to a delegate. Your delegates for this competition are Dylan Vaskevicius, Niels Nijstad and Orion Donovan.

Q. What are groups? How can I find which ones I'm in?

A. Groups are how we determine when each competitor competes. During each round, we will have several groups that will be called up in succession. When the group in which you're supposed to compete is called, please come up to the cube dropoff table and submit your solved puzzle. When the group you're judging is called, come up and find an empty station to judge. Groups will be emailed to competitors or in a tab on this website in the week leading up to the competition.

Q. Do competitors need to volunteer? How do I do that?

A. We require that all competitors volunteer as judges, runners or scramblers during the competition day. You will be assigned a group to judge, run or scramble in. We will go over judging in our New Competitor Tutorial.

Q. How old do I have to be to compete?

A. WCA Competitions are open to cubers of any age! We do not have age groups so all competitors compete with each other.

Q. What do I need to bring to the competition?

A. You'll need to bring the puzzles required for any event you'll be competing in. Most competitors like to bring other cubes to warm up with. All timing equipment will be supplied by the WCA Delegates at the competition.

Q. Where can I find results for this competition?

A. Live results will be visible on the WCA Live and will be posted on the WCA Website shortly after the competition. If it's your first competition, you'll get a WCA ID when results are posted to the WCA Website.

Q. How can I have a competition in my hometown?

A. Contact one of the delegates to see what is possible. Since there is already a reasonable number of competitions in Alberta in 2026 it might not be possible to add your hometown competition to the calender right now.
