The Name of Multiple Blindfolded

[qqwref]

I don't know when rule 9i3 was added, but FMC used to be 90 minutes. The previous WR of 28 was shared by two people, eventhough one had done it in 90 minutes and the other did it in 60 minutes.

Ooh, that's interesting.

I really dislike all the rule changes. Why not just have Multi-blind as a 60 minute preferred format?

By forcing times to be under an hour, people are trying to create a standard so that the WR can be beaten at any competition that wants to hold multi. With unlimited time, you either have to set aside several hours just for the multi event, or you have to limit the time so much that the WR cannot possibly be beaten at your competition. So, with a strict 60 minute limit, logistics will never stop someone from setting a record, and it is much easier for organizers to hold the event. Just having a "preferred format" of 60 minutes would remove all these advantages, because someone could do 24 cubes or whatever at a competition which decided not to use the preferred format, and then nobody would ever be able to beat that in an hour.

Just place it behind 1 hours multibld times. Like wca did with Ryosuke Mondos 17/18. Hi's 95th place and should be 3rd...

I've been wondering why they did that, and I still don't really understand. Was the 17/18 in a different format?

Yeah, the 17/18 was made before they changed the rules. It used to be so that you had to get them all correct to get a result. So it was a DNF.

I'm not sure, but there is something that I don't like about this change. I'd like to see the current multiBLD still be an event, but perhaps rather than holding that at a regular competition, it can be done somewhere else and just be certified as official (Isn't that what they did for Most cubes in a day?).
MBH sounds good. Chris Hardwick should try it... using BH!

What do you mean with "this change"? Creating an entire new event leaves us the chance to keep multiBLD as an event.

Ok, so this is just a new event added on? That means that for the original multiBLD, you have to do at least 7 cubes to even bother with it. Where would you do that? (I don't have a chance, the most I can do now is 0/3 with very close DNF on them).
So for this new event, is it still 10min per cube?

 

[qqwref]

Yeah, the time limit is either 10 minutes per cube or one hour (whichever is less). And I agree that unlimited time multi should be done outside of competition; in fact I already mentioned that once or twice on the WCA forum

How about "Solving Multiple Rubik's Cubes Blindfolded with an Hour Time Limit"

 

[qqwref]

Good idea Dene, and while we're at it we could rename OH to "Solving a Standard Rubik's Cube Without Touching It with One of Your Hands (Except During Inspection, Where You Can Use Both Hands) or Any Other Object Including Any Other Part of Your Body", or SSRCWTIWOOYHEDIWYCUBHOAOOIAOPOYB for short.

 

[Dene]

Sounds like a plan!

 

[Ryanrex116]

I don't think it should be changed, but I was kind of thinking "One hour BLD challenge"

 

[Simboubou]

So now, there will be this time limit ?

Ok, so I will just quit cubing.

 

[tim]

So now, there will be this time limit ?

Ok, so I will just quit cubing.

Did you practice for the WR? You can still get one under the new rules.

 

[Simboubou]

No, but I started multiblind because single blind had became a matter a speed for me. Now, multiblind will also be a question of speed.

Bye then.

 

[Mike Hughey]

No, but I started multiblind because single blind had became a matter a speed for me. Now, multiblind will also be a question of speed.

What did you want single blind to be about instead of speed? Accuracy, maybe? (Not trying to complain - I'm just genuinely curious what you prefer it to be about.)

You're not covering everything there:
Inspecting and Starting the Solving of Standard 3x3x3 Cubies Rubik's Cube Within 15 Seconds on a Second Generation Stackmat Timer Where you are Allowed to Use Both of Your Hands (If you Have Two Hands) to Start the Timer Then Solving it With Only One Hand Without any Human Or Technical Assistance Or The Use of Any Other Object Including Any Other Part of Your Body as Fast as Possible in a WCA Organised Competition.

 

[Bryan]

Why not just call it MultiBLD and rename the old event to "Legacy MultiBLD"?

 

[Simboubou]

I like this idea. This name is cool.

 

[Jai]

Why not just change rule 9i3) to mention that if there's a major change to the event (that would seriously conflict with how it used to be done, ie. people going way over 1 hour before), records can be erased?
