Jokaisen kilpailijan pitää tuntea ja ymmärtää WCA:n säännöt ennen kilpailuun osallistumista.
WCA:n kilpailun suomenkieliset säännöt löydät täältä. Lue artiklat 3 ja A erityisen tarkasti.

* Ratkaisujen kuvaaminen on sallittua kunhan kameran näyttö on joko pois päältä tai suunnattu kilpailijasta poispäin
* Perehdy erityyppisiin rangaistuksiin
* Jos et ole varma rangaistuksesta, kutsu delegaatti paikalle
* Jos uskot kilpailijan ansaitsevan ylimääräisen yrityksen, kutsu delegaatti paikalle
* Älä pyöritä kuutioita tai käytä puhelinta tuomaroidessa
* Älä koske muilta kilpailijoilta irronneisiin paloihin
* Pidä huoli siitä, että aika on kirjoitettu tuloskorttiin selvästi
* Älä unohda laittaa kilpailunumeroasi tuloskorttiin joka yrityksen jälkeen kun olet tarkastanut että aika on kirjoitettu oikein
