Join us for a short competition on the same day as CubingUSA Southeast FMC Championship 2026! This competition will not hold the 3x3x3 speedsolving event, but it is a great way to achieve qualifying times for the Southeast and North American Championship or get some extra solves in for less commonly held events. Southeast FMC Championship will be held from 10AM-2PM at the same location; if you are not competing in FMC, you are not obligated to stay at the competition during those hours. However, if you want to compete in FMC, you must sign up for that competition separately.
Parking is available in the 25th Ave garage (parking block reservation info TBD) or in the 2525 West End garage for $3/hour.
This competition is supported by Southeast Cubing, Inc., the official nonprofit organization for speedcubing in the Southeast! Please check out the Southeast Cubing, Inc. tab to learn more about the organization and what you can do to support the mission.
