- Information
Blindfolded events only
The only events at this competition are blindfolded events, which require a significant amount of practice and concentration. All attendees, including competitors and guests, are asked to please remain quiet at this competition to allow competitors to concentrate.
Other competitions
FMC Canada 2023 (Pickering location) and Please Be Solved Pickering 2023 will take place at the same venue, earlier in the day before this competition. Each competition will end before the next competition begins, ensuring no overlap. Please feel free to register for one or multiple competitions, but you must register for each competition separately.
Note for new competitors
Although first-timers are welcome to compete if they know how to solve puzzles blindfolded (please note Regulation 2k6), this might not be the best experience for new competitors. Please consider registering for another competition if this one isn't for you.

Guest Limit
Space is limited in the venue and our priority is allowing as many competitors as possible to compete within our limited venue space. Competitors may bring at most one (1) guest.
Competitor List
Organizers manually accept registrations one at a time in the order the registration was completed, so your name may not appear on the competitor list immediately.
Once the competitor list reaches the 30 competitor limit, registrants will be added to the waiting list instead of the competitor list. Due to the competitor limit, completing your registration within the initial registration period does not guarantee you a spot on the competitor list.
Waiting List
The waiting list is ordered based on the timestamp that registration was completed. If you are added to the waiting list you will be informed via an email. Additionally, you can ask about your position on the waiting list by emailing Speedcubing Canada.
If anyone on the competitor list deletes their registration, the person at the top of the waiting list will be moved to the competitor list. After June 12, 2023, the competitor list will be finalized and registrants who are still on the waiting list will have their registration removed.
If the competitor list fills up quickly, online registration could close earlier than the originally listed date (June 12, 2023). The waiting list will close at the same time that online registration closes.
Competitors may register on the spot the day of the competition if the competitor list has not reached the 30 competitor limit.
