In 2003, however, the World Cube Association was founded and a competition was scheduled for August 23 rd-24 th. Popularity faded, and nobody was there to take up the role of organising any new competitions. This was the last competition the World would see for over two decades.

The Stackmat timer is used on competitionsĪfter the immense popularity the cube received upon its release in 1980, 19 competitions were held, all in different countries, to decide the fastest speedcuber of that nation (these are not listed on the WCA).

It is the most prestigious accomplishment and helps bring more public attention towards speedcubing, as many news companies publish articles when the 3x3 Rubik's Cube World Record has been broken.
