How to register at a WCA Competition for the first time
WCA, World Cube Association, affiliated competitions are one of the only two official roadways for speedcubers to get internationally recognized.
Who hosts a WCA Competition?
A WCA Competition is organized and hosted by common individuals willing to provide voluntary service to make the competition happen. WCA Delegate, an official accredited representative, oversees the competition. Thus, WCA gives official recognition to the competition and publicly announces it on their website
