Cubecomp is a web application written in Ruby on Rails which is used by several members of the World Cube Association (WCA) and volunteers around the world to organize Rubik's Cube competitions.

The website features a rich adminstration interface with many useful features for competition organizers, such as creating a public website with a registration form, creating event schedules, confirming competitor registrations, generating printable nametags, and much more.

Since early 2009, cubecomp (or earlier versions of it) has been used to host over 85 different competitions in at least 5 different countries around the world.

Cubecomp is free and open source, published under the MIT license.

If you are a competition organizer and want to use cubecomp to host your website, you can either run it on your own server or you can use our hosted version on https://cubecomp.de. Please send an email to [email protected] if you would like us to create an account for you.

I'm happy to add more languages. Send an email to [email protected] and we can work on a translation (or take a look at config/locales/en.yml and send me a translated version of that for your language).
