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 $40.00. (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 Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 7:00 PM EST 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 Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 7:00 PM EST 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 Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 7:00 PM EST 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.

To allow us to accommodate more people with our limited space, some events will have lower registration limits than the entire competition. Out of courtesy for other competitors, please only register for events you actually plan to compete in. Competitors who are not actively competing or helping may be asked to leave the venue until their next event.

4BLD, 5BLD, MBLD: 12 people
FMC: 16 people
3BLD: 20 people

Registrations for each event will be accepted on a first come, first served basis, and a per event waiting list will be managed manually, and will be listed here once registration is open.

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.

Multi-Blind will be split into two groups to allow all competitors to help scramble (all competitors will still solve at the same time). Competitors in group 2 will scramble for group 1 while group 1 has time for lunch outside of the room. The groups will then switch places after group 1 attempts are scrambled and covered. Because of this, people who are competing in Multi-Blind will have very limited time to eat, so please plan accordingly.

TheCubicle will be sponsoring and providing prizes for this competition.
