Moves are for n00bs 2012

Erik · Mar 22, 2012

I'm organizing another (small) competition on August 25 and 26 in Enschede, the Netherlands. Main focus of this competition is FMC! (probably 6 attempts if you make the finals!)
Such a competition just screams for an awesome name like 'Thinktank FMC' or whatever. Due to my ability of being not-original I was hoping you could help a little bit.

Also: you are more than welcome to give some tips for the competition. On saturday-evening there will be the possibility to stay in the (small) venue until about midnight and have a chat and drink with everyone!

I'm still trying to arrange some group-sleeping accommodation for little money. People from far away might be invited to my house ;-)

EDIT: REGISTRATION IS OPEN: http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/...MovesN00bs2012

Fewest-Move-A-Palooza!

Also, you should give out a prize for fewest moves for the total of all attempts (DNF counts as 50 or something like that).

My fail-attempts at being original:
Movecount 2012
How Low Can You Go
Fancy Moves
Moves 2012
Show me your moves
Frikkies Mega Competion
Frikkies Mental Challenge
Frikkies Mega Challenge
Frikkies Move Challence
Frikkies Magic Challence (Do NOT have magic as side event but have Rob do some magic tricks)
Or something along these lines

BTW: Do you already know which “side” events you’re doing?
Apart from 3x3x3 to please the local crowd you might do some brainy stuff like BLD

Escher · Mar 22, 2012

'God's Competition'

Edit: also, 'Moves are for Noobs 2012'

mycube · Mar 22, 2012

What about 'Brain Challenge 2012'? Then you could do BLD(and maybe 4x4, 5x5 BLD) as sideevent

Other ideas:
Fewest Moves Championship 2012
Fewest Moves 2012
FMC 2012
FMC-Skills 2012
Enschede Open 2012 - Fewest Moves

I think 6 hours of fmc is enough to kill most people's brains off...I'd rather just concentrate on the fmc, because I know what happens when people try to do bld with a tired brain (e.g. 5bld at Euros 2010)
I really hope I make it there, and I'll compete in whatever side events there are. Clock is always nice

Ding, ding; we have a winner!

We need 3x3x3 on saturday to lure people into the FMC web

3x3x3 on Sunday (like it is typically done) doesn't allow 1-day visitors to do FMC

This competition must do all it can to spread the FMC love

Erik · Mar 22, 2012

As side event there will of course be 3x3. The chances of having a BLD event are kinda small!
Don't know about the rest. The events do not necessarily have to be official. I'm thinking about stuff like:

TeamBLD
Pyraminx (everyone loves Pyraminx)
Head2head FMC (it's fun, will explain later)
etc

Cubenovice: err no, I'm not seeking a huge number of competitors. Limit will probably be 30, but it would certainly be nice to have some people who don't think it's a big deal if they don't make the finals. It would suck if for example Okayama would come and we all find good stuff in the first round and he would not make the finals (of course this is not very likely but you get the idea)

Henrik · Mar 22, 2012

He will have feet as a main event! I know he will!

Gaétan Guimond · Mar 22, 2012

I would like to see an average fmc 2x2 (3 or 4) that the record on a 3x3 fmc simple only. The competition would'nt be more time consuming because it is out of the corner.

AbstractAlg · Mar 22, 2012

FMC 2012 (Fix My Cube) xD

Robocopter87 · Mar 22, 2012

FMC Ladders? Wouldn't that be awesome?

Probably wouldn't work super well now that I think about it.

ThomasJE · Mar 22, 2012

FMCube 2012?

That's my best.

Man I thought I was going to be all original but you beat me to it. :C

By far the best submission thus far.

Erik · Mar 27, 2012

Thanks for suggestions guys!
Personally I like 'Moves are for n00bs'

but no name is picked yet.

The venue is now settled, I'm still in the process of arranging some group-accomodation for sleeping. Who would be interested in sleeping in a cabin (15 people) and for how many nights?

Reinier Schippers · Mar 27, 2012

FMC- Fried my cube xD.

Sounds fun! I might be on holiday that day. For only FMC I dont think I'll come but when 3-5 or 2-5 events are also included I will be there

JianhanC · Mar 27, 2012

Less is More?

IMSLOW1097 · Mar 27, 2012

Finger tricks are for d*cks, but FMC is the way to be! haha

i´m thinking about staying till monday because it´s a longe way home and I maybe don´t want to stay in a train over the night.. so friday to monday = 3 nights

okayama · Mar 27, 2012

I would definitely like to go!

More easy-to-understand names:

Fewest Moves Challenge
FMC Champs
FMC Fantasistas

Personally I like the last one.

I think light events are preferable as side events, like pyraminx, clock, rather than heavy ones like big BLDs. (as Daniel suggested)
