Berkeley Fall 2010

Or we could just ditch mystery event and do 7x7.

Let's see how many people get mad at me and think I'm serious.

Team FMC BLD.
Result is time divided by moves.

Well thats a rather poor representation of skill

 

[PhillipEspinoza]

How about Quadruple Team Silent BLD?

Basically like Triple Team BLD but the 4th person would be online and would have to signal back the memo to the mover via Skype and the mover (who would be the only one without a blindfold on after memo) would have to someway signal the moves to the caller without talking (either by writing it down in brail or tapping them with their foot a certain amount of times) who would then do the same to the person solving the actual cube.

No but seriously, I like the refined idea of Double BLD. Sounds like a good challenge.

I personally don't care for BLD. No offence ;-) What could be fun though is speed scrambling for the 3x3!!! It would be a much less time-consuming event and is easy setup.

Mr. Wolter DOES have a SS account!

Hi! I just wanted to congratulate you on coming out of NOWHERE and demolishing the old Megaminx NARs AND CRs.

Damnnnnn

 

[Aidan]

Thanks!!!! Btw, definately do megaminx for Berkeley fall. I think Ronnel and Brendan would agree.

NAR is CR for Aidan.

Would anyone else participate in speedscrambling or is it just me?

I'm down.

Hey everyone, I think I should actually be able to make this one. I'll be a freshman at Stanford as of September 14. (Methinks there tend to be more competitions in the Bay Area than the Midwest.)

Website, for what it's worth, is up...Waiting on the official announcement now.

I'm still waiting to get a second room, so I'm going to hold off on saying we'll be definitely doing 6x6 for now. I'll have a set of scrambles prepared, so if we do do it it'll be a day-of announcement, conditions and equipment permitting.

Try up to 8 a year in the Bay Area alone =P

 

[clarubik]

what are the time cut offs?

 

[clarubik]

is it under ten minutes or under ten seconds? for 3x3

 

[PhillipEspinoza]

is it under ten minutes or under ten seconds? for 3x3

The cutoff is 10 seconds. If you do not solve the cube in under 10 seconds, you will be automatically disqualified from the competition and beaten out of the room for being so slow. So it should be a pretty small competition but fun to watch.

 

[shelley]

You think that's hard? The Pyraminx cutoff is 1 second.

 

[clarubik]

why are they doing that?

 

[shelley]

Dunno, probably lack of common sense.

 

[Aidan]

Clarubik, have you ever been to a competition before? Maybe you should read the regulations. LOL ;-)

 

[Ranzha]

You think one second for pyraminx is hard? Try 10-second BLD.
