    Should we remove at least one of the 3 big BLD events? (4x4, 5x5, multi BLD)

    I don't see why it bothers you so much. If you hate how it takes so long to set up in comps, then simply don't hold it in comps. Also, most people posting here aren't as bothered as you over this. They are saying things like "If I had to remove one of the events, I'd pick 5bld, etc etc. That's...

    Ah, re-reading the post, got it. Sorry about that :p Yeah, I'll definitely be reminding judges abou this in the future.

    "Both should be blamed", really? It takes every ounce of concentration, along with the comp anxiety/nervousness/etc, to do 3bld fast. I am not going to bother myself or clutter my mind any further with reminding the judge to do anything right before I do a solve.

    mem v0.5, a 3BLD mem/commutator training app with timer

    Originally posted in Blindfolded Cubing, but then realized there's in a Software Area as well. Basically an open-source program for BLDers that can generate scrambles with any combination of flipped edges, twisted corners, parity, and your choice of one "forced" edge or corner comm on demand...

    3BLD Buffer

    The chart doesn't tell the whole story. If I were to redo it, I'd make sure my buffers were on the same layer.

    mem v0.5, the first BLD commutator and memory training app, --Angel Lim

    mem v0.5, the first BLD commutator and memory training app Hey guys, in my free time I've written a program that can generate scrambles with any combination of flipped edges, twisted corners, parity, and your choice of one edge or corner comm. It's still a work in progress, but you can...

    Do you have a list of your letter pairs?

    A pre-prepared list (on paper or in your head) is definitely not necessary for sub1:30/sub2. It definitely helps once you're aiming at sub1 or sub50.

    Problem with Corner Twists

    I'm paranoid when I do BLD that I'm going to corner twist when turning too fast. In the event that this happens in comp, I suppose I'll have to complete the entire solve and then just guess which way my buffer was twisted :/

    Problem with Corner Twists

    What happens if during a 3bld you exe perfectly but you end with one corner twist (either by the scrambler or unknowingly by you). Is this a DNF?

    Speed or efficiency? What to train?

    Focus on memo. Push it during the "memo phase" a little bit each day, and concentrate really hard on having no pauses during exe. The rest generally follows.

    Should official 3BLD mo3s be ranked? (Read the first post)

    So far I've competed in 10 competitions, all of them with 3BLD as my primary focus. I currently have a 32.19 single, so I think I have some experience on this matter. I believe that mo3s should be officially ranked. Noah is completely right about getting a fast single at this level is at least...

    I am sure my friend from hs, Tim Wong, would be interested. He's a freshman at NEU.
