Information

This competition is organized in partnership with West Coast Cubing and Speedcubeshop.

  • Current SCU students may register for free by sending Professor Marks (rmarks@scu.edu) an email from their @scu.edu account prior to registering with this site.
  • If we run ahead of schedule, we will start first round events no earlier than 20 minutes, so please show up at least 20 minutes before your first event.
  • We will be assigning judging assignments to competitors for the group before or after their own competing groups.
  • Please inspect the schedule for this competition carefully before registering. In particular, note that there is a 4-5 hour gap between the first rounds and final rounds so that we can hold the multi-location Fewest Moves Challenge (FMC) Western Championship. Better yet, if you would like to participate in FMC, it will be held in the same location and can be registered for here.
