cubecomps.com - for delegates and organizers

Well, determining whether a competitor is qualified to complete his average is the judge's job, not the scoretaker's. By the time the scorecard gets to the scoretaker, any human error you're trying to prevent (with regard to qualifying times and cutoffs) has usually already been committed.

Several fixes and improvements:

1. A problem with the precision of the scores in minutes inside the XLSX file has been fixed. (Reported by WCA's Results Team.)
2. An option to empty all database and start from scratch has been implemented.
3. Scorecards are sorted according to previous results. (A little number at the upper-left corner helps you keep them sorted once torn.) For the first round, they are sorted alphabetically.
4. Rounds are not numbered (1, 2, 3...) but named (First Round, Semi Final...)
5. Youngest and oldest competitors inside the special classifications report has been changed to youngest and oldest Rubik's Cube solvers.

Fixes and improvements

1. Option for a competitor to miss a round / leave event. Available from second round on. He/she is replaced by the next competitor classified (when possible).
2. Arrangement of COMPETITORS page through different columns: IDs, name (default), birthday, country and gender.
3. Fix of several minor errors.

New feature: option for printing all the scorecards for opened first rounds. (Located at the "MISC" page, "scorecards" section.) Intended for saving paper and recurrent clicks as well.

Thanks That's really awesome know. 6 pages less than the version event by event for LM Open. And also so much simpler and shorter than before !

A new feature has been implemented to allow importing a XLSX file filled offline. Although it is intended only for competitions not managed at all online, it is also possible to switch between online management and offline importation repeatedly with some manipulation by the administrator.

I hasten to add that this new feature is contrary to the 'primary goal' of cubecomps.com. Abusing of it would come to make of my website a simple live results site, what is far away of my plans, as you likely know. This is why I want to offer the pure offline management only for special circumstances.

This is a very important feature that would have come in very useful at our last comp. Thanks so much for adding this, Luis =)

Two new improvements:

1. Added a new [quit] link at RESULTS page for every competitor without score in the first round. Similar to [miss] in second and next rounds, [quit] removes a competitor from the first round and replaces them with the first competitor in the waiting list, if any.
2. When populating second and next rounds ([open] link) only competitors with scores in the previous round are considered to calculate the maximum of competitors proceeding (rule of 75% maximum). If the resulting value violates regulations, the administrator is warned with a message on screen and the number of competitors proceeding to the following rounds are recalculated.

Strictly speaking, the second point could be interpreted as an error fix. Anyway, forgetting to remove people without scores is not a problem any longer.

From now on, admin.cubecomps.com is the new access for delegates and organizers. The other two accesses (cubecomps.com & live.cubecomps.com) are intented for public access and go to the live result pages.

I'm glad to announce that my first approach to certificates is available for competitions using Cubecomps.com from now on.



The first time you enter here, you will see that the competition's, the delegate's and the organizers' names will be already there. (Taken from WCA's website database.)

Besides, a nice text template (in your language, if already implemented) and a default background will leave you 'one click away' from getting your certificates.

Of course, you can also edit the text and upload your own background image to personalize the result.
