Ok, I don't want to cause trouble, it's just there's no point blocking sales that people would have no problem with anyhow.

2:30 is a generous cutoff for 5x5. Doing any more than that makes the 5x5 round take forever. We usually do 2:15 in the northeast.

The problem is that judging by most of the 5x5 competitors times, most of them won't make it to second round...

 

[freshcuber]

Would adding more timers help speed up the 5x5 rounds? If more people are solving at once more people can advance. If this were the case I'd be willing to lend my stackmat for the 5x5 rounds.

 

[Harris_Karsch]

We're going to have at least 8 stations, so that won't be an issue. The schedule is finished and based on where I put 5x5, I don't think time will be much of an issue. I'm going to stick with 2:30 for now, but closer to the event I'll look into it more (how many registrants, their times, etc.), and make a final decision then.

 

[freshcuber]

Just registered.

The problem is never really not having enough timers, it's not having enough judges. Sure, I have 15 timers. But, I implore you to find 15 people to judge during the 5x5 round.

 

[Harris_Karsch]

I'm more worried about scramblers than judges.

 

[EricReese]

I will help scramble for some of the events like 4x4 or something.

 

[Bob]

I'm more worried about scramblers than judges.

Typically, obtaining scramblers is easier than obtaining judges because people wouldn't mind (or perhaps even enjoy) doing something active, such as scrambling, whereas judging requires you to sit (at least in the instance of 5x5) for a long time essentially just waiting.

Usually, because it's so much faster to scramble a 5x5 than to solve it (unless the competitor is someone like Dan Cohen), as long as you have at least two scramblers, any empty stations are a result of insufficient judges rather than insufficient scramblers. This is not always the case, but it is most of the time.

 

[Harris_Karsch]

I was just thinking in the case of messing up and having to solve it and start over, but I guess that isn't really too much of a problem.

Also: schedule is up on our site (link in my sig).

 

[Vinny]

Registered for 3-5 because I suck at everything else.

So my magic broke a few days ago because I was trying to make sure I'd be sub 1.7ish (just to make my wca sheet not look horrible), so as usual I have to ask someone to possibly let me borrow their magic for the solving? The past 2 comps I've been to I've not done magic .

I'll be careful with your magic and not try to do final flips too fast, etc.

 

[Owen]

This is going to be a great competition!

If you're not from around here, I highly recommend that you check out downtown Ithaca. It's a great place.

"What is the lie all cubers say?"
"Correct"
"I'll choose 'Hodgepodge' for $600 Alex"

It's obligatory to say ;D.

I suppose it'd better to say that than the opposite of that .

Actually, I wish people would say, "Can I borrow someone's Magic? If I break just one string, I'll remove it and hope you don't notice. If I totally mess the thing up, I'll hand the huge mess of stuff back to you with my head held down in shame, but I won't do anything else to make up for it."

 

[Kian]

Kyle and I are going.
