FAQ

What is this?

This is a system that provides Live results from Speedcubing competitions.

What is Speedcubing?

Speedcubing is solving twistypuzzles such as the Rubik's Cube as fast as possible. It's a lot of fun.

Who made this?

Mads Mohr Christensen and the visuals was stolen from the official WCA Results page.

I'm organizing a competition could we use your system?

YES! That's why I made it. (apart from having fun doing it)

I have a projector available for my competition. How do I get results on that?

Easy! Currently only supported for Windows and OSX. Design based on system by Rafal Studnicki.

How does it work?

The system consists of 3 parts.

• Excel parser that uploads the results.
• Webservice that saves the results.
• These pages that displays the results.

Organizers only need to run the Excel parser in order to post results here.

What are the system requirements?

The parser needs Java 6 and the results database requires mysql 5, but other databases should be able to run as well.
Current supported platforms includes Mac OSX 10.5+ and Windows XP, but other platforms could be added upon request.
