First WCA comp

[bloxy5cuber]

You all know that I haven't had a WCA number yet, and that's because I haven't been to a competition. I might go in January, but I need some tips... I don't know really what to do. How do I sign up for certain events, and do I bring anything besides my cube?
please help...
thank you!!!

Go to the competition website, there is a register tab, click that, if it says you can register, fill out your events, if you've read the terms and conditions, even the amount of guests you are bringing, any other questions

I just did my first comp a month ago. I don't know how big your comp is but mine was small. The delegates explained the basics like using a timer, judging and general things. You don't need anything besides ur cubes but if you have a timer you should bring it to so you can practise while you wait to be called. What events are you doing aside from 3x3, 3x3 only is fine however. Also remember that cuber are kind and will help you.

Good luck for January 2026 comp

Are you doing all events?

I think the main goal of your first competition should be to had fun and enjoy yourself. There is literally no pressure at all because any successful solve and average will be an automatic PR, that’s something that helped me at my first competition.
Other advice is just talk to people, make friends, try cubes you’re looking into buying, help out, judge run all that good stuff, and enjoy the experience

 

[bloxy5cuber]

Thank you! All I need to do is to find my 3x3 tho...

 

[Clock Main]

your first comp was August lmao

idk when it was hehehe

 

[SpeedCubingLord]

Goo luck mate!

Also, remember to try to make as many friends as you can. Sit down with a crowded table and talk. Simple as that.
