Cubing Contests is a place for hosting unofficial Rubik's Cube competitions, unofficial events held at WCA competitions, speedcuber meetups, and other unofficial events.
The events are split up into multiple categories: Unofficial, WCA, Extreme BLD, and Miscellaneous. Extreme BLD events are not meant to be done in a competition-like setting, but instead need to be submitted individually with video evidence. Some other events also allow submitted results.
Cubing Contests is powered by RecordRanks, an open source project created for the benefit of hobby sports communities. You can contribute through the Ko-fi page without creating an account. All contributions directly support the development of RecordRanks.
Cubing Contests is an open platform where anyone can hold their competitions and meetups. However, you must first be granted moderator access to be able to create new contests. If you would like to hold unofficial events at a WCA competition or create an unofficial competition or meetup, you must first read the moderator instructions. Please note that an unofficial competition can only be hosted on Cubing Contests if it's infeasible for it to be held as an official WCA competition.
Moderator InstructionsFor general inquiries, send an email to admin@cubingcontests.com.

In a recent [post](https://cubingcontests.com/posts/wca-logins-announcement) we announced that it was now possible to link your WCA account to your existing Cubing Contests email + password account and then link your WCA competitor profile to your CC user. Due to various complications, it is no longer permitted to link your WCA account to an email + password account. New users can simply choose between the two login methods (note that the website won't permit two accounts to be created with the same email address). Existing email + password users have the following options: 1. Delete the email + password account and create a new account using WCA login. In this case, the user details, including the linked competitor profile and the role will be lost, but you can then link your WCA competitor profile to the new account automatically. Moderators choosing this option will have to reapply for mod access. 2. Keep using the email + password account. In this case, competitor profile linking has to be done by an admin. We have deleted email + password accounts for users who already went through the account linking process since the previous update. This means that they'll be able to log in using their WCA accounts and still get access to their user profile with the same details, but they won't be able to log in using their old email and password credentials anymore. Please note that this is not about WCA competitor profile linking. Users using the WCA login method will still be able to link their WCA competitor profiles automatically without admin help.

RecordRanks [update v0.16](https://codeberg.org/mintydev/RecordRanks/releases/tag/0.16) has been released, and it finally brings the option to log in using your WCA account, which has been a planned feature for a couple years now. See below how to log in using your WCA account, link your WCA account to your existing email + password account, and tie your WCA competitor profile to your Cubing Contests account. This is a great change for the website, as it will make it easier for people to sign up, which is an important step towards adding a contest registration feature. This also means that users who have a WCA account with a WCA ID will now be able to link their competitor profile on their own, without an admin having to do this manually. Oh, and it's also finally possible to change your email address in the settings. I should also explain a little bit what RecordRanks is. RecordRanks is the software that powers Cubing Contests. It wasn’t always known by this name, but since CC is now no longer the only instance running on this software, it made sense to give the project a name. RecordRanks – which is open source software – was always intended to work in a way that would enable other people to deploy their own instances, so that there is a software solution that works for many different use cases. For example, Cubing Contests does not host online competitions, but an instance of RecordRanks could be set up to accommodate that use case. Please feel free to reach you if this is something you’re interested in doing. ### How to link your WCA account **EDIT**: it is no longer possible to link WCA accounts to CC email + password accounts. Please read the [blog post](https://cubingcontests.com/posts/account-linking-disabled). If you don’t have an email + password account already, you can simply log in using your WCA account, which will create a Cubing Contests account for you. If you do have an email + password account, you can link your WCA account to it in the settings\*. In both cases, CC will attempt to also link your WCA competitor profile to your account after your WCA account is added to CC. If your competitor profile is somehow already linked to another user, please contact us. \* Note: you can only link your WCA account to your existing email + password account if the emails are the same. If they’re not, you will have to first change your email on your existing CC account in the settings. ### How to delete your email + password account If you would like to switch to just using your WCA account and get rid of your existing email + password account, you should first delete your account in the settings\*. You can then sign up with your WCA account like normal. \* Note: if you had the moderator role on the website, you will lose it by doing that. If you would like to keep your moderator role, please reach out to the admin team in the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/7rRMQA8jnU).
