err how do you pay your registration fee? it says you are not considered registered until you pay your fees

EDIT: I live in Canada if that helps...

Paypal.

Where is that link?

After you register. Just like on Amazon.com, payment is determined after you select what you want.

and damn..so that means I have to be absolutely sure that I'm going, which I'm not...and the price goes higher every month..

Once again there are some funny cutoffs. This year I qualify for two events. 3x3x3 BLD, and Clock. Clock!?!?!?!?! I'm SO BAD at Clock, yet I qualify comfortably.

(I know it looks like it's based on US rankings, but it's still funny.)

Thanks, Joey. Without you, I'd just have one.

I might have to borrow it to compete

I'm in that same situation.

LOL the cutoff time for square-1 is 30.00. Is that inclusive?

*check my WCA Profile*

EDIT: if my official times are faster than the cutoff times, then I automatically advances to round 1 right?

If you have achieved a time faster than or equal to a qualification cutoff time, you will automatically be placed in the first round of an event. Otherwise, you will be placed in the qualifying round.

I like that there are several events that happen to be basically sub-Kian to qualify. Should give me another round (unless I blow it and qualify for some events beforehand ).

I signed up and although I know I will not qualify, I am looking forward to learning and watching the truly fast people solve.

Same here. Almost everything I compete in except for 5x5 has cutoffs that are about 1-5 seconds off my average times.

Registration is now open!

Edit: Why can't I register? It just gives me a bunch of non-sense and says an error occurred. What do I do?

[9:22:57 PM] Waffle says: they say registration still buggy
[9:23:24 PM] Waffle says: so don't try right now

I can't register right now because Canadian postal codes won't fit

anyway, registration issues have fallen under a few categories:

1) Canadians not being able to read.
2) People registering, but skipping the Paypal payment section.

You must pay at the time of registration or your registration will be deleted. If you're a non-NA resident, then don't do Paypal and then e-mail the organizers to have your fee waived. But NA residents must pay.

Obviously. We just get our beavers to read for us.

But non-NA residents still have to pay for the events entered, right?

If you are coming from outside of North America, you don't have to pay for registration... neither for events nor the base fee. Just submit a registration, don't pay when it asks you to, and send the organizers an email using the contact form to get it waived. At which point you will appear in the list of competitors.

As far as the cutoffs for qualifications go...does that mean if we get a single under the given time we qualify? Or do we need an average under that?

Average, of course.

That's what I thought. Thanks.

Is there any confusion about qualification requirements on the relevant page? Should we rewrite some points to make them clearer?

Nicely put.

The website says all the qualification cutoffs must be met by a mean or average except for 3x3 blindfolded, however for megaminx the format is also best of 2. Also the 6x6 and 7x7 events are best of 1.

Damn you, Tyson.
