Swedish Cube Days 2009
A competition in speed solving Rubik's cube and other mechanical puzzles. |
 |
News:
- Finals for the smaller events sq-1, pyra and mega has been added, only 4-6 will proceed... (elite sport?)
- 6x6x6 blindfolded has been added as a unofficial side event... try to remember that!
Time:
This is the sixth annual cube day. Earlier the competition has only been over one day but this year we will have two of them, the cube days. These days will be December 5-6, 2009.
Venue:
The venue will be the same as the one we had last year, the lunch hall of Bergaskolan in kungsängen, that is located just north of Stockholm.
Getting there is easy from Stockholm central train station, just locate the local train "Pendeltåg" platform and go to destination Kungsängen or Bålsta (that is a more distant stop). The ride is about 25 minutes. From Kunsängen station it is just a short walk to the venue, find the way om the map.
Living:
Sleep over in the venue will be possible the night between the days, bring your own sleeping gear if you like to do that. If you need a place for Friday-Saturday or Sunday-Monday there is a small and fairly cheap hotel in Kungsängen ( link). If that one want do, then there are loads of hotel guides on the internet to help you, use google :)
Rules:
The competition will follow the official rules described at the WCA site ( link), these will also apply for the unofficial events we will have as far as possible.

The side events will be held in a separate room parallell to the main competition.

Participation:
Pre registration for participation is done from the competition page at the WCA database ( registration) There you can also see who is already registrated for the competiton ( participiants).
A participation fee will be taken to cover the costs for the venue and some snacks, drinks and such that will be available for all to consume during the days. The size is not yet decieded but will be in the order of 25-40 skr for each day (35 skr is about 3 euro). The final size of the fee is depending on how many participiants we will have and will therfore not be decided until the day.
Organisation:
The competition is organised by the Swedish cube network; Svekub in association with WCA. The WCA delegate will be Kåre Krig.
