As you can see in the text below (which is copied from the registration site), there is a competitor limit of 25 people for all but 3x3. I was the 27th[emoji53] . Maybe two people will overdraw and I can compete in 2x2 but if not, I won't go to the competition.


Text from registration site:
Registration fee is 5 CHF per day. Registration will be closed on November, 10. Competition limit is 25 competitors, after that we will accept registrations only for 3x3x3.


Edit: it was with stackmat of course

they must have trouble finding good venues, I could hold one in my house/backyard and have a higher limit of people

this is an accomplishment for me

Same thing happened to me, actually! I'm still resisting learning 1-look EO or any more EPs than adj-adj, parity, and M2 U2 M2, though.

Also, failed accomplishment: 1:00.72 feet single. I want to sub 1 already!

 

[cuberkid10]

Cool cool. I learned parity last night, so I'm still new to SQ-1. My EO is horrendous.

EDIT: Why did all the GA cubers suddenly start doing SQ-1 lol?
EDIT 2: FML, I accidentally just deleted my session of ~200 Megaminx solves and didn't get to write down my PB Ao12.

Probably because Music City has it, though I did it officially in June.

Here's how I do EO: use M2 ((1,0) / (-1,-1) / (0,1)) to try to reduce to 1 edge ((0,-1) / (-3,0) / (4,1) / (-4,-1) / (3,0) / (0,1)). The only case this doesn't work on is 2 adjacent edges ((1,0) / (-3,0) / (-1,-1) / (4,1) / (-1,0)).

I've been using the "2-alg" method that Thrawst teaches which uses (1,0) / (-1,-1) / (0,1) and /(3,0)/(-3,-3)/(0,3)/. I'll have to learn that 1 edge EO alg though! The way I do it has me doing 4 algs to solve it, which is really slow. I just stackmatted it and it takes nearly 5 seconds :/

great job, do you still do cross on top?

Yes I do!

Also, just broke that PB again. I'm on a roll tonight, even though I'm supposed to be writing a lab report right now. Both the 8's were PLL skips, which makes it a little less cool, but I'm still happy about it

LOL nice I've still yet to break mine, and I got it on October 16th

 

[Sebastien]

It's in a shop. That's also the reason why they can't do it on sunday, because the shop is closed on sunday.
I agree that I'm defenitily not more important than all the others. I was just too late with registrating.

The current registration scheme does not make sense though, I am not even sure if that complies with the Article Z regulations. Right now:

- There are only 22 people registered for 2x2x2.
- Only 23 people are registered for more events than 3x3x3.

You should contact organizers and delegate and point this out in my opinion.

2:37.66 7x7 single with 1:32 centers and 0:49 edges I hate my life

49 edges? WAT that's UWR almost for sure

 

[muFFube]

This is so stupid. You are NR holder and you can't even compete in 2x2? It's harming not only yourself but the whole Swiss speedcubers community since you have huge chance to get at least ER. Organizers should be ashamed of themselves.

I'm one of the organizers of this comp and i think i have to clearify some things about this whole registration thing here.

First i have to say we talked about this (to let him compete in 2x2) but at the end we decided against it because we really dont want faster cubers to be treated diffrently from the new cubers, maybe slower cubers. I think it is as important to let him compete in 2x2 as it is to let a newcomer compete in every event.

Then about the venue/shop/registration thing:
the venue is a toy/games shop. we know the shop owner and thought about doing a comp together. as it is our first competition we also didnt want to make it gigantic. we wanted to keep 3x3 open so customers could register and compete officaly on the day while keeping the amount of people low (for this we made the 25 people limit)

thank you for pointing out the mistake where only 23 people can compete in other events. this is because we toke the first 25 who registered (some of these only registered for 3x3) we have to clear this one out befor we make the final competitors list.

i hope this makes sence if there are any question fell free to ask ...
