Thread: UK 3x3 Competitions?

  1. #1

    Default UK 3x3 Competitions?

    I can't find any UK 3x3 Rubik's Cube competitions, any help?
    I've been to the Official WCA website and can't find it.
    Thanks for any help.

    Unfortunately not that many competitions happen in the UK but we are certainly working to improve this. There should be a competition in or before April however so you shan't need to wait too long.

    Is there a website that specialises in UK competitions?
    Or when April does come, what where should I be looking?
    Thanks.

    This forum is the best place really. When a competition is organised it'll be announced here and on the WCA site.

    Okay, thanks for your help.
    I've never been to a competition before, any tips?
    Prizes? Fees? Pressure?

    The biggest tip I can give you is to relax and have fun. Competitions are all about meeting new people and chilling out with other cubers. You most likely won't do as well as you'd like to but that's really not an issue - nobody really cares how fast / slow you are. Things like prizes and fees depend on the competition so you'd have to wait for more details about that.

    Yeah, I don't really care about winning, I want to go for the experience of it.
    Thanks for all your help

    www.ukcubemasters.com is where I/Michael have/has posted all of the competitions in the last two years pretty much, so keep an eye out there, but it's likely that there will be a thread here at the same time.

    I'm working on getting a competition together before May time, but somehow I've ended up with less time for cubing lately so it's taking a bit longer than I would have expected. Anything that I organise will be in Bristol, probably two days and will have most side events. There will be an entry fee of approximately £10 per day as the event won't be sponsored and there should be snacks/drinks provided. That's usually how it goes.

    You could see if Puzl.co.uk want to sponsor it. They are a UK company and would probably apprectiate it.
