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. Competitors over the age of 18 are encouraged to come without a guest.

Competitor List

Registrants must pay the registration fee in order to be added to the competitor list. Unpaid registrations will not be accepted.

Once the competitor list reaches the 40 competitor limit, registrants who pay the registration fee 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 registrants paid the registration fee. If you are added to the waiting list, you will be informed via email. You can view your position on the waiting list on the registration page.

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 May 29, 2026, the competitor list will be finalized and registrants who are still on the waiting list will be refunded 100% of their registration fee. Registrants on the waiting list may email Speedcubing Canada at any time to forfeit their spot on the waiting list and be refunded 100% of their registration fee.

If the competitor list fills up quickly, registration could close earlier than the originally listed date (May 29, 2026). The waiting list will close at the same time that registration closes.
