Competitor List
Registrants must pay the registration fee in order to be added to the competitor list. Unpaid registrations will not be accepted. Organizers manually accept registrations one at a time in the order the registration fees are paid, so you may have to wait a while before your name could show up on the competitor list.
Once the competitor list reaches the 400 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. You can ask about your position on the waiting list by emailing Speedcubing Canada.
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 July 25th, 2024, the competitor list will be finalized and registrants who are still on the waiting list will be refunded 100% of their registration fee. Anyone on the waiting list may email Speedcubing Canada at any time to have their registration deleted (forfeiting your 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 (July 25th, 2024). The waiting list will close at the same time that registration closes.
