WCA World Championship 2023

[Michael DeLaRosa]

Hi everyone! I know the world championships have been a little messed up due to COVID, but does anyone know when they might announce the dates for worlds? I am thinking about going next year. Also, do you have to qualify in events to compete or can anyone compete? Thank you!

I think it might say on their website

What website would that be? I couldn't find anything other than the location announcement on the WCA website.

No specific dates have been announced yet (i think)

It was announced a while ago that it was going to be in South Korea in 2023.

Melbourne, Australia 2019 had qualification requirements for all events except 2x2, 3x3, skewb and pyraminx which simply required you to have competed in the event before.
Almere, Netherlands 2021 would have had qualification requirements for all events except 2x2, 3x3, skewb and pyraminx. Due to the limited number of competitions in 2021, there was no requirement to have even been to a competition before in order to compete in these 4 events. Unfortunately these world championships were cancelled.
Although there's been no official announcement yet, I would expect qualifying for Seoul, South Korea 2023 to have similar qualification requirements.

Some of us need to start planning for this. Does anyone know when the WC2023 website will be up with all the details re: definite dates/location etc?

I think what we really know at the moment is that it will probably be on August 12-15th 2023 (yes, that is Saturday-Tuesday) and in Incheon, South Korea

This is now getting slightly concerning. With less than 7 months to go until worlds, we should have gotten at least a basic website with some info at least 1-2 months ago, if not longer. The fact that we still don’t have one makes me wonder if the organization team has even made one yet.

I agree. I'm not going to be able to go to Korea, but I want this for the community.

I might go if I'm world class in Skewb.

Also @gsingh this is kinda off topic but you get 10 averages in comp but you get 7 averages in the forum comps. Is it nerves?

Very extreme nerves

 

[NigelTheCuber]

Very extreme nerves

Can't increase your times by 50 percent

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

Very extreme nerves

But all your other events are around your normal times afaik

 

[gsingh]

Pls, don't start this again

We really need this information by now. Many need time to plan to go to Korea. Worlds is not that far from today, and still no information. I wonder if it was a good choice for the WCA to choose this organization team.

Yeah Chicago was the 2nd option and I would've definitely liked that...
