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 $50.00. (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 400. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 400 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 7:59 PM EDT on Friday, September 22, 2023 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 7:59 PM EDT on Friday, September 22, 2023 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 400 competitors have paid, simply pay the registration fee. If a competitor emails us to drop out before 7:59 PM EDT on Friday, September 22, 2023, 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.
Please note that the US regions have been realigned as of 2023 - the former Northeast region has been split into the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions.
CubingUSA New England Championship 2023 is open to all competitors. However, the title of New England Champion in each event will be restricted to competitors from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

If you are selected and actively help throughout the competition, you will be eligible for a refund of the registration fee after the competition is over. If you do not apply for staff or are not chosen to be a staff member, it does not mean that you will not have to help out at all.
