10 TIPS To Prepare For A Cube Competition!

[@statmango]

A few more tips to consider: Bring tools (e.g., screwdriver, lube, towel). You never know when you'll drop your cube in the dirt or on a dirty floor. Learn the rules for blind. Even if you don't compete, you might be asked to judge. Bring your vaccination card if needed. Find out if you need the physical card or if an image on your phone suffices. Bring extra masks. You don't want to wear a mask all day that you sneezed in, and you can help out people who forgot theirs. Volunteer to help out, particularly at the beginning of the end of the day when there are fewer people. If you see someone who looks lost, ask if they want to join you. Make sure you know directions to the venue, how to get there, where to park (or nearest public transportation stop), how long it will take to get there. Bring change and small bills for the parking meters or subway or bus tokens or vending machines.

So good! Those are great tips too!!

@@Tingman once i average like sub 30 i might go to a comp, what would it be like? like what happens inbetween solves where they scramble ur cube? what happens inbetween rounds? etc. love ur vids and congrats on 300k!!!

[@Tingman]

@@etw7912 ​ @FireClutch You just wait in different areas. It's all quite casual really. If you watch competition vlogs you'll get some idea. I personally wouldn't wait until you're a certain time before you go. Just go and have fun.

I have a tradition of not cubing the day before a comp. Let your wrists and hands heal for a day before the competition. I also recommend warming up with bigger cubes. I like to do 1 or 2 megaminx solves before 3x3. For me it makes me see a 3x3 in a simpler way and allows me to go from lots of layer building and f2l to just 4 pairs.

If you see this, I wanted to say I finished learning full PLL and was wondering how I should approach learning OLL. I started cubing in February and I average around 16 seconds

For the first tip, at least in my region, comps fill up in MINUTES. Like you need to be at a computer, with your credit card, ready exactly when the comp opens

my tip would be to submit to a event even if you cant do the event, ive learned sq-1 because i accidentally submitted to sq-1 on my first competition, its just a good motivation to learn it. but i was late for my first competition, cuz the trains were not early enough :3 so i had learned it for kind of no reason.
