One-Answer WCA Competition and Regulations Question Thread

People use big sails, it should be fine

I'd ask for video evidence that he really does better on 18 cm than a more reasonably-sized cube lol.

As a delegate, I'd just ask him to do a few turns. If he turns awkwardly and all his friends are giggling, i'll tell him to find a more suitable cube. If he's got a turning style that's adapted to the cube size that makes it look like he's practiced with that cube, I'll let them compete with it.

I've done this a few times with kids who've wanted to use weird size cubes for OH (mostly wanting to use big sails, which were all jokes, and once got a kid wanting to use a 40mm zhanchi, which turned out to be legit).

How old do you have do be to organize a competition?

I don't think there's any age requirement, although a delegate would probably be more likely to agree to delegate if you're more experienced with competitions. I know competitions in my area have been organized by kids under 13.

I know. My answer wasn't specific to any event. I was just using my experience with OH as an example because feet doesn't get held that often here and I've never had anyone try hand in a cube as a joke for feet.

A few weeks ago, I signed up my friend for a competition, listing his country as USA. The competition already happened, and my friend wants to know if there is any way he can change his country in the WCA, as he was born in Kenya.

You have to ask a delegate to change your nationality.Try to get a hold of one.

To be fair, it looks like the person who asked the first question of the thread 5 years ago never got the answer they needed, because there's no Kenyan cuber in the WCA database.

Is there a one hr time limit for MBLD?

 

[xyzzy]

Is there a one hr time limit for MBLD?

10 min × (number of cubes), capped at one hour.

**likely with significant parent help

It really depends on the person. I organized my first comp at 13, and I had little help from my parents. In fact, i don't think my mom even knew about it until I had basically finished planning it, and was ready to announce it... Not that I was trying to hide it from her, I just didn't think to tell her.

How do I get a delegate to approve my WCA ID linked to my account? I asked for approval a couple of weeks ago
