The World Cube Association (commonly abbreviated as WCA) is an organization that regulates and holds Rubik's Cube competitions. It was founded by Ron van Bruchem of the Netherlands and Tyson Mao of the United States.[1] The goal of the World Cube Association is to have "more competitions in more countries with more people and more fun, under fair conditions".
Its current board members are:
| Member | Country |
|---|---|
| Masayuki Akimoto | Japan |
| Ron van Bruchem | Netherlands |
| Tyson Mao | United States |
| Gilles Roux | France |
As well as these board members, the World Cube Association also assigns delegates who can organise an official competition. The presence of a delegate is required in order to make the competition official. As of early May, 2007, 1527 people around the world have attended WCA events. The fastest solve of a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube at a WCA event is 8.72 seconds, set by Yu Nakajima of Japan on May 4, 2008 during the Kashiwa Open 2008. [1].[2]
