I would suggest not having a cut-off for 3x3. You do get some people who start out that are around 75 seconds. By shutting them out, you're discouraging building a community. Even if someone is taking 3 minutes on 3x3, it's not going to kill the competition. If you end up getting a bunch, then you might have some issues. Even World's has a limit of 2:30 for the 3x3.

Thanx for starting this thread Austin. One change that will be coming to the schedule is that we wil be having 2 rounds of 2x2 instead of 3. We are on a strict schedule as we have to be out of the Venue by 5pm and the WCA thought we will run long with having 3 rounds. The website will be updated today.

Thanx,
Chris
