Speedcubing Slovakia opened registration for the third Ivanka pri Dunaji competition, and the field is capped at 55 places. Ivanka pri Dunaji Open 2026 is set for September 5-6 at Základná škola M. R. Štefánika, SNP 3, in Ivanka pri Dunaji, Slovakia, with spectators admitted free and no on-the-spot registrations allowed.

Online registration opened on Sunday, July 12, 2026 at 8:00 AM PDT, and the base fee is 10 euros. The page makes the process plain: a competitor is not guaranteed a place until the name appears on the Competitors tab, registration is not complete until the fee is paid, and if the field fills, the waitlist follows payment order. The waitlist runs until August 30, 2026, and cancellations before that deadline receive a 90 percent refund.

The early numbers show why the event is drawing attention. The registration page listed 26 competitors already, including 4 first-timers and 22 returners, spread across 7 regions. That mix points to a meet that is not just attracting newcomers, but bringing back a core group that knows the venue and the format.

This is also the third straight official competition in Ivanka pri Dunaji. The first-ever event there, Ivanka pri Dunaji Open 2025, drew 50 competitors, and Back to School in Ivanka 2025 followed with 56. Returning to the same town for a third edition gives Speedcubing Slovakia a clear sign of confidence in the local turnout, while the 55-person cap keeps this year’s field close to the size of those earlier meets.

The organizers listed by the World Cube Association are Maximilián Belačič, Speedcubing Slovakia, Timotej Andrejko, and Tomáš Zatroch, with Jakub Jurika and Jan Fonš serving as WCA delegates. Speedcubing Slovakia describes itself as a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers, focused on competitions and the annual Slovak Championship. Its national events have already shown the scale behind that local network, with the Slovak Championship 2025 drawing 146 competitors and the 2026 championship page listing 83.

Ivanka pri Dunaji Open 2026 now sits where a healthy local scene should be: small enough to stay manageable, structured enough to avoid chaos, and established enough to justify a third visit to the same town.
