Don't hurt me, I was just asked to post this here. ~Ranzha
Albert You (cyoubx) and Mitch Lane (drumgod1997) present the YouTube Cubing Olympics!
Basically, if you didn't watch the video, this is basically a YouTube cube quasi-competition that runs as long as the Olympics run.
This is a friendly and prizeless competition, and it's a good opportunity for those who rarely get to compete in WCA competitions a chance to show what they have to bring to the table.
This competition hosts 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5 for events. To enter, take a video (one per event) of your solves (film the scrambling if possible) and add it to the above video as a video response. After the Olympics are over, the results will be posted in a results video in this post and later in the thread.

Happy cubing!

So, I'd love to do this! But, there's one thing I don't quite understand.

Is there just one round of this? 5 solves? It's fine if that's it, but I just wanted to know if there will be more released as the Olympics go on.

I hope to be able to upload a video soon!
 
Um, those 2x2 scrambles...
I know. :fp I dunno what Albert was thinking when those were generated.
The scrambles doesn't seem right.
They're in SiGN notation. A lowercase letter means to move the two outside layers of the corresponding face.

Yes, only one round. Apologies if this is disappointing. Who knows? After this, there could be more YouTube cubing competitions to come!
 
Ohai.

Super sorry about the scrambles.

None of you know me because I'm a REALLY n00bish cuber and I don't know what I was thinking. I kind of fail. Please don't hate me.

Sorry.
 
Are we allowed to use a 6x6 or 7x7 and solve it as a 5x5? It's going to be so noob but I'm afraid to touch my QJ 5x5 (3 center pieces are broken) and I probably won't get my SS 5x5 until like october.

Do the solves have to be in a row or can you make 5 separate vids of 1 solve each and edit them together? My computer is weird and won't let me go past a few minutes.

We would prefer that you use a real 5x5, if you can't get a 5x5 for the time being then don't do 5x5 there are 2-4 still there. Its just for fun and doesn't really matter too much.
We want you to just make one unedited solve video with the scrambling and everything.
