Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Do I use my own cubes to compete?
- A: Yes, you are responsible for providing your own puzzles. Be sure to review Article 3 of the WCA regulations and confirm that your puzzles are competition legal before the event. Some examples of non-legal puzzles are electronic cubes (such as Giiker, GOcube, or GAN356i), cubes with carbon fiber stickers, cubes with more than one logo, and cubes with significantly damaged or missing stickers/pieces.
- Q: Do I use my own timer to compete?
- A: No, all equipment for the competition (timers, displays, etc.) is provided by the organizers/delegates.
- Q: How fast do you have to be to compete?
- A: As long as you are able to solve the puzzle within the time limit listed on the Events tab, you are fast enough to compete!
- Q: What will the average age of competitors be?
- A: Most competitors are between 10 and 25 years old, with the average age usually falling in the mid-teens. However, all ages are welcome - everyone can and should cube!
- Q: Are competitors divided by gender or age?
- A: No, all competitors compete in the same division on the same even playing field.
- Q: Why am I not on the competitor list yet? I already signed up and paid!
- A: Registrations are approved manually, so it may take some time for the organizers to see and accept your registration. Also, if registration is already full when you register and pay, you will be placed on the waiting list instead. If you still do not see your name on the competitor list or waiting list 48 hours after submitting payment, please reach out via the "Contact Organization Team" link on the General Info tab.
- Q: How do I change my events or cancel my registration?
- A: Please reach out via the "Contact Organization Team" link on the General Info tab and an organizer or delegate will handle your request. Please note that no refunds, cancellations, event changes, etc. will be processed after the deadlines listed on the General Info tab under "Registration Requirements".
- Q: Are spectators or guests allowed to attend? Do they have to pay an entrance fee?
- A: At this competition, there are no limits or fees for spectators or guests. You are welcome to attend as a friend/family member of a competitor or even just as a non-competitor who is interested in the event.
- Q: How do I know when exactly I will be competing?
- A: To see what time each event you are competing in takes place, check the Schedule tab. About a week before the competition, you will receive an email with your group assignments to let you know which group of each event you are assigned to. Each group competes in order - group 1, then group 2, and so on. Please be familiar with which group you are in and pay attention as they are called up throughout the day - you may not be able to compete if you miss your group.
- Q: What do I do while I'm not competing?
- A: For each event that you are competing in, you will also be assigned to judge for one group of that event. Your judging assignment will usually come in the group immediately after you compete (though you are welcome and encouraged to judge as much as you want - it's a fun way to get right up in the middle of the action!) When you're not judging or competing, you'll probably want to hang out at the tables with other cubers and make some new friends!
- Q: Where do I find my results during the competition?
- A: During the competition, you can see results on WCA Live as they are entered. Please note that all results are entered by hand and there may be delays depending on the availability of staff to enter data.
- Q: How will I know if I made it to the next round?
- A: Once a round is completely entered on WCA Live, the competitors whose names are highlighted will be the ones moving on to the next round. To check if the round is actually complete, scroll down to the bottom and see if all listed competitors have results. If there are competitors without results, the round is not completely entered yet and the next round has not been finalized.
- Q: Where do I find my results after the competition?
- A: Within a week of the end of the competition, the results of the competition will be uploaded on the main WCA website and will appear on your WCA profile. You will receive an email notification when this happens.
- Q: Who do I ask if I have a question about the competition not answered here?
- A: You can always reach out via the "Contact Organization Team" link on the General Info tab and we'll get back to you shortly!
