The 2008 weekly competitions will start at 2008-01-01. (I might post the scrambles a bit earlier because I won't be home at midnight).
That same day I will post all remaining results from 2007 and honor the winners of 2007.
This is your chance to influence the competition for 2008. I have some ideas how to improve it and I hope everybody will give me feedback on these ideas and post their own ideas.
1. Events: All official events and all events we had in 2007 will now be in the weekly competition. That means:
3. Points: I have 2 options for rewarding points. The first will benefit "all rounders" and those that are good at "harder/longer events". The second will benefit specialists that are good at "popular" events.
3a. The current system that gives points for placing in the top-3 and for participating (based on difficulty of puzzle and amount of effort). This is my proposal for those points:
4. Results: You will still be allowed to post results any way you want (several posts or all in one for example), but I would really appreciate if you would follow these guidelines:
EventnameA: minutes1:seconds1.hundreds1 (INFO), minutes2:seconds2.hundreds2 (INFO), etc (INFO) = minutes:seconds.hundreds
EventcommentA: Lots of text
EventnameB: minutes1:seconds1.hundreds1 (INFO), minutes2:seconds2.hundreds2 (INFO), etc (INFO) = minutes:seconds.hundreds
EventcommentB: Again, lots of text
An example (INFO can be POP if a piece pops, O/P/OP for parities):
4x4x4: 1:36.61 (OP) 1:31.06 (O) 1:37.71 (P) 1:55.06 1:58.55 (P) = 1:43.13
Comment: Started good, lost focus after first 3
5x5x5: 2:40.86 2:39.91 2:24.52 2:23.55 2:37.09 = 2:33.84
2x2x2_bf: DNF, DNF = DNF
Comment: Tried to go fast, failed
3x3x3_bf: 6:43.40, 6:56.11 = 6:43.40
Comment: yeah, got both
Relay: 5:28.02 (OP)
Comment: I hate parities on 4x4x4
Square-1: 1:18.68 1:11.78 1:01.90 1:43.59 (P) 1:12.21 = 1:14.22
Comment: I really hate parity on square-1
MegaMinx: 3:41.81 3:33.91 5:01.72 (POP) 3:18.59 3:21.94 = 3:32.55
Comment: Chines megaminxes can pop and those pieces are hard to find
5. Voting: I will start a new voting list. Just to make sure all votes are still valid I will remove everything that has < 5 votes.
I hope everyone likes my proposal. Please tell me your ideas and tell me which system for points you would like.
