First 2 Blocks Competition

15.04 a12, 13.39 a5, 9.30 single (on the 11th scramble).
My fastest F2B was one of my least efficient. I said "right, aim for high TPS."
I've been trying for efficient block over the past few days, I'm so much quicker with spammy CFOP style, but I'm hoping forcing myself to block-build will help in the long run.

It will. I didn't do that, and I got stuck around the 16 mark. After I took a month or so and forced efficiency on myself, I hit 13-14.

Points

This competition needs to be spiced up just a little bit, so I am introducing the points system. It will begin on Round 3.

Points:

It is very simple. If you participate, you get points. If you don't, you lose points.
  • Doing 2H gets you 1 point.
  • Doing OH* gets you 2 points.
  • And if you miss a round, you lose 3 points.
  • If you break your previous average, you get an extra point.
  • If you get top 5, youll get extra points.
Ex:
1st = 6points
2nd = 5points
3rd = 4points.
4th = 3points
5th = 2points
6th and on = 1 point for participation

The reason I will take points away if you don't participate, is to motivate cubers to keep practicing this sub-step, because this is a fundamental step. Especially if Roux is your main method.

Then you can also gain points by getting into the Top 5 or if you break your previous average.

Yes this is a competition, but you will not win any prizes, except for faster times.

Points will not win you anything, except for pride and joy.

*You do not have to do OH if you don't want to.

So we won't get any points for beating a certain amount of competitors like in the LL comp?
 
I think you should at least award points for winning/runners up, or breaking a certain individual barrier (more complicated, but will be more motivatin I guess).

In addition to the current proposed point scheme, to motivate people to actually do it.

The thing is, we dont have as many competitors as the LL Comp. So either way, we will end up with low digit numbers.
And all that math, makes everything extremely complicated.

Okay, how about this,
If you break your previous average, you get an extra point.
If you get top 5, youll get the number of points according to your place.
Ex:
1st = 5points
2nd = 4points
3rd = 3points.
Etc.

BigGreen for example: 1 Point for participation and 6 points for coming in first.

Then we have Sarahjdes. 1 point for participation and another for beating previous times. Even though Sarahjdes had the slowest times, he/she did not come in last.
