Step 1
Publicize the event. Look on the Internet for clubs where cubers interact and where Rubik's cube competitions are posted. Go the World Cube Associate website and Speedcubing.com, and gear attention to your event.
-
Step 2
Get a local sponsor. A sponsor can help cover your costs and allow you to provide prizes to the winners. Local toy and department stores could be likely sponsors, but check around to get the best sponsorship possible.
-
Step 3
Line up judges and other officials. Officials will monitor the competition, enforce the rules, keep time, record results and resolve any potential disputes. Most Rubik's Cube competitions determine winners by the amount of time it takes the cubers to solve the cube and several officials are needed to simultaneously monitor all the competitors.
-
Step 4
Decide what size of Rubik's Cube the competition will use. A 3 by 3 cube is the standard size, but 4 by 4 and 5 by 5 cubes are now also made. Many Rubik's Cube competitions use all three cubes in different events in order to have different degrees of difficulty.
-
Step 5
Consider several special categories for the competition. Instead of just seeing who can solve the cubes in the least amount of time, get creative to make the event more fun. Consider events where cubers must solve the cube blindfolded or with one hand.
-
Step 6
Draft a complete set of rules for the competition and distribute it to the players as soon as you stop taking entries. For help drafting the rules, consult the World Cube Association website, which posts regulations for Rubik's cube competitions.
