Official Timing & Attempt Procedure

The official JCA in-built competition timer is used for official attempts.

At each stage, each registered cube event is completed separately according to the prescribed number of official attempts before moving to the next event.

Ten-Minute Maximum

Each official attempt has a 10-minute maximum competition limit.

The JCA official timer may continue running beyond 10 minutes, but any attempt that reaches or exceeds 10:00 is recorded as DNF.

The timer itself does not automatically stop at 10 minutes.

Practice Timer & Practice Attempts

The practice timer is provided for preparation and familiarisation.

Practice attempts:

Are not official competition results.
Do not affect qualification.

These videos explain relevant procedures such as:

Competition setup
Attempt procedure
Recording the official attempt
Uploading the video
Submitting the video link

Pick up and examine the scrambled puzzle.
Identify their solution approach.
Prepare mentally for the solve.

Participants must not make any solving move during inspection.

The same official timer and 15-second inspection procedure apply across the competition stages. The difference between stages is the method of verification and supervision.

Zonal Qualifier is participant-led with video verification. Zonal Finals and National Finale are live moderator-supervised.

Solved, Misaligned & Unsolved Puzzles

The final condition of the puzzle determines whether an official solve is considered valid.

Solved Puzzle

A puzzle is solved when all pieces are correctly arranged. The timer should be stopped only after the puzzle is solved.

Minor Misalignment

A misalignment of less than 45° is considered solved.

The 45° measurement refers to the alignment of the puzzle layer/face and not the angle at which the puzzle is being held or viewed.

Unsolved Puzzle

If the puzzle is one or more moves away from being solved, the attempt is recorded as DNF.

Timer Stopped Before Solve

If the timer is stopped before the puzzle is solved, the attempt is recorded as DNF, subject to applicable verification.

Final Verification

The final puzzle condition may be verified through the official timer, submitted video, moderator observation or other applicable evidence.

DNF — Did Not Finish

DNF (Did Not Finish) means that an official attempt does not receive a valid competition time.

An attempt may be recorded as DNF when the participant does not complete the solve according to the competition rules.

When an Attempt is DNF

An official attempt is recorded as DNF in situations including:

- - The puzzle is one or more moves away from being solved when the timer is stopped.
  - The participant stops the timer before completing the solve.

The attempt reaches or exceeds the 10-minute maximum competition limit.

- - The official scramble is not followed correctly.
  - A required competition rule is not followed and the attempt is therefore determined invalid.
  - Required verification evidence is not submitted or does not meet the applicable verification requirements.

Any technical issue should be addressed before the official attempt begins wherever possible.

Ranking, Result & Qualification

The India School Cubing Championship maintains official competition results and rankings at each stage. Qualification for the next stage is determined separately according to the championship qualification rules.

Independent Stage Results

The championship follows:

Zonal Qualifier → Zonal Finals → National Finale

Each stage is a fresh official competition.

- - The result from one stage is not carried forward to the next stage.
  - Each stage is independently ranked using the applicable official scoring method.
  - A participant’s result at one stage does not become the result of the following stage.

Competition Results & Leaderboards

Official verified scores are recorded in the JCA competition system and reflected in the applicable leaderboard views.

These include:

Competition Scores

- - Ranking Leaderboard
  - Medal Leaderboard, where applicable

For events where multiple official solves are taken, the applicable average time is used for competition scoring and ranking, according to the official competition method.

The best individual time achieved by the participant is also recorded as part of the participant’s official competition performance.

Results may also be displayed through applicable event, age-category, zone and competition-stage views.

Qualification to Zonal Finals

Qualification from the Zonal Qualifier to the Zonal Finals is determined according to the championship qualification rules.

Qualification is considered within the relevant age category and cube event.

U7 & U9

- - 3×3×3: Top 05 participants qualify.
  - 2×2×2: The top 5 eligible participants will be considered for qualification. If any participant within the top 5 has already qualified through 3×3×3, the next eligible

new unique participant(s) will be selected in ranking order until 5 unique qualifying participants are identified.

- - Pyraminx: The top 5 eligible participants will be considered for qualification. If any participant within the top 5 has already qualified through 3×3×3, the next eligible new unique participant(s) will be selected in ranking order until 5 unique qualifying participants are identified.

Example:

- - If ranks 1–5 in 2×2×2 contain 2 children who already qualified through 3×3×3, then ranks 1–5 are considered, and the next 2 new participants in the 2×2×2 ranking are added. The final qualifying pool = 5 unique participants.

U11 & U14

- - 3×3×3: Top 05 participants qualify.
  - 2×2×2: The top 5 eligible participants will be considered for qualification. If any participant within the top 5 has already qualified through 3×3×3, the next eligible

new unique participant(s) will be selected in ranking order until 5 unique qualifying participants are identified.

- - Pyraminx: The top 5 eligible participants will be considered for qualification. If any participant within the top 5 has already qualified through 3×3×3, the next eligible new unique participant(s) will be selected in ranking order until 5 unique qualifying participants are identified.

- - 3×3×3
  - 2×2×2
  - Pyraminx

U11 & U14

- - 3×3×3
  - 2×2×2
  - Pyraminx
  - Skewb
  - 4×4×4

For each applicable age category and cube event, the Top 15 participants from the Zonal Finals qualify for the National Finale.

- - Qualification is based on the results of the Zonal Finals.
  - The Zonal Finals result is not carried forward as the National Finale result.
  - The National Finale is a fresh official competition.

The qualification process is separate from the participant’s position in the wider JCA Global, Yearly or Regional Ranking.

Qualification & Ranking Are Separate

A participant’s leaderboard/ranking position and their qualification status are separate aspects of the championship.

The leaderboard records and ranks the participant’s official competition performance using the applicable scoring method, including the applicable average time where required.

Qualification determines progression to the next stage according to the specific championship qualification rules.

Therefore, a leaderboard position and qualification status are not the same thing.

JCA Global Ranking

Every participant in the India School Cubing Championship is associated with a JCA Global Ranking Profile ID.

The JCA Global Ranking system maintains a participant’s official competition record across eligible competitions.

JCA Global Ranking Profile — Participant Competition Record

The JCA Global Ranking Profile is the participant’s individual record in the competition database.

The profile is maintained under the participant’s name and records their eligible official competition performances across different competitions and cube events.

The profile also showcases the participant’s personal best score to date for each cube event, based on eligible official performances recorded in the system.

Ranking & Performance Tracking

The applicable performance, including the average score/time where required, is ranked through the ranking system using relevant parameters such as:

- - Global Ranking
  - Yearly Ranking
  - Regional Ranking

Ranking is maintained according to the applicable age category and cube event, creating a structured basis for tracking a participant’s performance against the relevant competitive group.

This enables a child to see their official scores, personal best performance, ranking position and progression across competitions and stages.

Recording of Championship Performances

Each verified official performance from the India School Cubing Championship is recorded against the participant’s JCA Global Ranking Profile.

Where a participant progresses through multiple stages:

Zonal Qualifier → Zonal Finals → National Finale

each stage result is recorded separately.

The result from one stage is not carried forward as the result of another stage.

Separate from Championship Qualification

JCA ranking and India School Cubing Championship qualification are separate systems.

A participant’s position in the Global, Yearly or Regional Ranking does not by itself determine qualification to the Zonal Finals or National Finale.

Qualification is determined according to the specific championship qualification rules described in Section 19.

Official Performance Record

As participants take part in eligible competitions, their verified official performances continue to be recorded under the same profile.

This creates a structured official performance record under the participant’s name, organized by age category and cube event, with the applicable Global, Yearly and Regional ranking views.

The profile allows participants to follow their performance journey, track their development and see how each new official competition result contributes to their continuing record.

PART D — RECOGNITION
