The '''World Rubik's Cube Championship''' (commonly shortened to '''WC''', as in '''WC11''') is the official world championship of cubing.

The first cube crazy died down after the first world championship in 1982, and it was only in 2003 that the second world championship was held. Four world championships have been held since the founding of the [[WCA]] in 2004. WC1982 and 2003 have retroactively been recognized as [[official]] competitions.

Speedcubing.com

2012-09-15T00:26:00Z

Macky:

'''Speedcubing.com''' is a website created by [[Ron van Bruchem]] in July, 2000. It is widely agreed to be the first hub site in speedcubing. It has been co-hosted by [[Chris Hardwick]] and [[Ton Dennenbroek]] since 2002, and by [[Peter Jansen]] since 2003.

Until the founding of the [[WCA]] in 2004, The Unofficial World Records (UWR) list at Speedcubing.com was considered the most important record list in speedcubing. The Unofficial Speedcubing Top Ten, the ten fastest cubers on the 3x3 average ranking, were considered the ten fastest speedcubers in the world. Today, many of the top cubers no longer submit unofficial records.

World Rubik's Games Championship 2003

2012-09-15T00:24:46Z

Macky:

'''World Rubik's Games Championship 2003''' (usually called '''World Championship 2003''', abbreviated to '''WC2003''', or '''WC03''') was a speedcubing World Championship held at the Ontario Science Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was the first World Championship since [[WC1982]] and the first World Championship of the modern speedcubing era. Since it took place before the creation of the [[WCA]], it was retroactively declared an official competition.

== Highlights ==
* [[Dan Knights]] won 3x3 speedsolve with an average of 20.00 seconds in the final round.
* [[Jess Bonde]] set the 3x3 single world record of 16.53 seconds.
* In all, [[Minh Thai]]'s 20-year-old world record of 22.95 seconds was broken 99 times, contrary to the former record holder's statement before the competition that breaking his record would be very difficult.

== Organization ==
WC2003 was hosted by [[Dan Gosbee]] and organized by the WC2003 Organization Team, headed by [[Ron van Bruchem]].

== Trivia ==
* Competitors at WC2003 were asked what their [[cross]] color was, even if they were color neutral (e.g. [[Lars Petrus]]) or did not use [[Fridrich]] (e.g. [[Lars Petrus]]). It has been said that the scrambles were hand-picked to avoid easy cross cases.
* Although the WCA Database only shows one round of 3x3 blindfolded, there was in fact an additional preliminary round consisting of 1 attempt. Out of several competitors, only [[Dror Vomberg]] and [[Shotaro Makisumi]] (respectively first and second in the final round) had a successful solve.

'''3EF''' ('''3'''cycle '''E'''asy and '''F'''ast) is a 3x3x3 blindfold solving method for corner and edges invented by [[Mohamad Aghaei]]. The methods based on the use of 3-cycle algorithms. The idea is similar to [[Classic Pochmann]], [[TuRBo]], and [[BH]]. This method is mostly applicable for the corners. It has 18 algorithms for the corners and 20 algorithms for the edges.

'''Thom Barlow''' is a [[United Kingdom|British]] speedcuber from Manchester, United Kingdom. He is the inventor of the [[K4]] method, a non-reduction 4x4 speedsolving method. Thom is a co-host of the [[CubeCast Podcast]].

Thom averages sub-11 with his main method, [[Roux]], which makes him one of the fastest Roux solvers. Additionally, he is known for his wide speedcubing knowledge, having done sub-20 singles using 20 different methods.

Thom is active under the username Kirjava (or simply "kir") on the [[Speedsolving Forums]]. At the same time that he contributes frequently to speedcubing theory in such threads as Random Cubing Discussion, he is well known for his snide/immature/off-the-wall/insulting/sarcastic posts. For these stunts he is hated by some and adored by as many others. He has a five-page-long infraction list.

Thom is a member of [[Team Sharp|Team #]].
