Nations Cup

The tournament saw the inaugural Rubik's Nations Cup, featuring teams made of three cubers all from the same country. The members on each team solved one 3x3x3 cube one after the other with special timers recording individual times and total team time. Two teams battled at a same run, with the winning team proceeding to next round. As an experimental format, it was an unofficial event, with times not recorded in the WCA database.
