round a number of contestants will be eliminated.
2. In each round, contestants are given 15 seconds inspection time.
3. For Round 1, the contestants will solve one (1) Rubik’s Cube puzzle rearranged by the
facilitator/s.
4. The time starts immediately after the contest administrator announces the “GO” signal. The
time stops when the contestant had completely solved the puzzle (it is said to be solved
after putting it back in proper order, each face will have only one color) and had raised their
hands. An official timer will be assigned to monitor each contestant’s speed in solving the
Rubik’s Cube puzzle.
 5. The time of each contestant will be recorded. All the contestants will be ranked according
to least time consumed. The top eight (8) contestants will advance to the next round.
6. In Round 2, the qualifiers will solve two (2) Rubik’s Cube. In this round, the qualifiers will be
given the chance to rearrange the cubes of their competitors. (Ex. The 2 nd qualifier will
rearrange the Rubik’s cubes to be solved by the 1 st qualifier, the 3rd qualifier will rearrange
the Rubik’s cubes to be solved by the 2 nd qualifier and so on..) The time consumed by each
qualifier in solving the Rubik’s Cube puzzle will be recorded. Qualifiers will be ranked
according to the amount of time they consumed. The top five (5) fastest Rubik’s Cube solver
will qualify for the FINAL Round.
7. In the FINAL Round, the FINALISTS will be using three (3) Rubik’s Cube. One by one, they
will solve the cubes rearranged by the facilitator/s. They will be ranked according to least
time consumed. The TOP THREE (3) FINALISTS will be recognized as WINNERS – 1 st, 2nd, 3rd
Placers.
8. In any round, if at least one part of the cube used by any contestant will be displaced from
the cube accidentally, the contestant will still be allowed to fix and continue solving the
puzzle, given that his time will also continue. However, the contestant is no longer allowed
to continue if he/she happened to place down the Rubik’s cube before the puzzle was
solved.
9. For any reason, the contestants will be allowed to perform corner twists but not in a
successive manner.
10. In case of a tie, the contestants will solve one (1) Rubik’s Cube puzzle rearranged by the
facilitators. The fastest Rubik’s Cube solver prevails.
