Alternatively, I might just make the schedule with stricter time limits for averages and then adjust that later depending on the final numbers. wafllewafflewaffleblablahbhbhlabhbhb.

Sorry, I didn't quite catch that last bit - sounded like "wafllewafflewaffleblablahbhbhlabhbhb" but I can't be sure without my hearing aid. :)

We should publish a provisional schedule anyway so that people know which day, am or pm, the events should be on, lest they can only attend part of the competition. I know some people are only interested in competing in 3x3x3 for example. Having said that, pretty much everyone who is registered is pretty committed to the competition and will be there for the whole event! :cool:

I've just done the schedule. I'm running through it with Rowan and I'll post it in the next hour :)
 
Okay here is the schedule. It's extremely provisional and will probably change a lot, although the days of the events will most likely remain the same. As with last time, it's extremely packed and depends on how many competitors we have. We won't be able to have so many rounds if a lot of people come as there simply won't be any time. We also will be relying on all of you to help out with scrambling and judging as usual. Comment away.

Thanks for doing that Charlie. I have a comment...could we have best of 2 for the 4x4x4BLD? You've scheduled an hour for it, and I take 10-15 minutes at the moment, so it will be 20 minutes absolute max for me at the comp. Maybe best of 2 if first attempt is sub-20 or something? And special thanks for including 5x5x5BLD even though I'm the only one signed up atm :)
 
Lol Charlie, last year the cut off for 5x5x5 was 3 minutes, and my pb average was 3:01, now it's 2:45 and I average 2:45. You don't want me to get an avg 5 on wca do you!

I suspected a few people might mention this 4x4 BLD situation. The problem I have is that a lot of people doing 4x4 BLD are slower than you so it's easier for me to say to everyone have one attempt in the hour. I see your point, perhaps a cut off of 25 minutes is reasonable, that allows for a quick turn around to do another attempt within the hour. Will you be able to go straight into another attempt? I suspect Olivér will want two attempts as well.

Last time we had a bit of a late issue, so apologies if my specific comment on the site about 4x4 BLD people being on time was a bit nasty, it just put us ten minutes out for the morning, which was annoying! I hope 5x5 BLD at the same time as FMC is okay, at least it will be quiet!

Oops :p Two rounds though, I hope that's popular. Sorry the final is Sunday and the other round is on Saturday... just the way it worked out. Is anybody particularly keen on a second round of megaminx?

NOPE. NEVER. Hah sorry about that. I'll relax those limits probably, so don't worry :p

Three BLD attempts?

I feel like more should be done for me.

I APPROVE.

No overlapping events for me ^_^.

EDIT: Joey; fukken quarter to 9. We better not go to sleep at 6 again this time.

There shouldn't be overlapping events for anybody, everyone can still compete in everything they want to. If Dan really wants to do FMC he will probably still have time after his 5x5 BLD attempt. Likewise with 4x4 BLD and 7x7 :)

You will also be there long before 8:45 because I am starting the timer at 8:45 :P

I'm sure everyone likes huge gaps between attempts but clearly this isn't possible so a small gap between the attempts would be fantastic. I guess the quicker I do the first one the more turnaround time I have :p. I promise I will be really really early. I don't want to do FMC (the only time I've tried it I did it blind) so 5x5x5BLD at the same time is fine. And I'm not really bothered about 7x7x7 so no worries about that either

I don't think it's allowed, and I'm not sure if there will be time in the schedule for it, but I might try to see if the other attempt can be somewhere else in the day. If you don't care about 7x7 or magic though then I suppose it doesn't matter if you overrun.

I'm gonna be cutting it very fine I think too methinks. Efforts must be doubled lol.

EDIT - I've just been looking at probably my best event at the mo - Master Magic - and its gonna be a proper good competition for top 5 I think. Bence is rapid with the odd slower solve, Oliver the same, Thom the same, Erik the same. I'm not quite as quick, so I'm going to have to really keep my consistency up if I wanna place.
