  <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedcubing">Speedcubing</a> Competition</i>.
  Speedcubing is the activity of solving a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube">Rubiks Cube</a>
  or related puzzles as quickly as possible.
</p>

<h2>Where and when?</h2>

</p>
<table border="1">
  <tr>
    <th></th>
    <th>1 day</th>
    <th>2 days</th>
    <th>payment</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>

  Please consider <a href="/swo16/en/registration">registering</a>
  in advance, since it simplifies the planning. Thank you. Competitor <b>must</b> register in advance due to organisational reasons!
  The registration will close about 1 week before the competition.
</p>


<h2>For beginners...</h2>

<p>
  There will be plenty of time to test the equipment (for example
  the official timing device, the Stackmat timer) and discuss the rules
  if you have questions. However, every competitor should have read the
  <a href="http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/">official WCA regulations</a>
  at least once before attending the competition!
