Any estimate on what those times will be? Want to know whether I should do some super practice on those if I have a chance or if I'm gonna be close to the qualification.

3x3: Looking at the psych sheet and past competitions in MD, it looks like it'll be around 17 seconds, 18 at most. (This is assuming the competition reaches ~60 competitors)

4x4: The current psych sheet says 1:11, but I'd say sub-1:10. At River Hill Summer the cutoff for round 2 was 1:13, so I'd say if you average around 1:05 you'll definitely make it :)

2x2: Sub-5

Dang I can't make any of those...
In that case, I shall do nothing but pyra and blind to get my pyraminx average down to consistently sub 6.5 and my bld consistency up to... around 70% would be good.
I'm high 5s to low 7s right now at pyra...

Just look at the psych sheet before you go and assume the cutoff will be 20% worse than it claims. That's probably a good estimate.

I guess that's smart, what with the psych sheet showing best averages.
In that case, it might be close for 3x3... eh. I'll stick with pyra and bld for the most part anyway.

That's why I probably won't be able to afford worlds (Germany!)
 
I'm registering my family members for them atm :P

Btw, my brother is competing, and I'm not sure that he can do it under 10 minutes (it's a start, I suppose.) Can he just be timed with a stopwatch in that case? I'm trying to work with him so that he can be a little faster, but I don't know how much faster he'll be by then.

The stackmat timer ends at 10 minutes, so it would be a DNF.

Alright I'll work with him then to get it faster.
There's no way to just use a stopwatch instead? I know that stopwatches are used with multi blind, big cube blind, and there are also sup10 times for 4x4 and up.
Blergh.


Oh yeah, also, if he does get under 10 minutes, there is not a cutoff for 3x3, is there? I mean, will he get to complete a whole average?

9f2) All timed results over 10 minutes, and corresponding averages/means are measured in seconds, with averages/means rounded to the nearest second (x.4 becomes x, x.5 becomes x+1).

EDIT: Now one of my sisters isn't sure that she's going to compete... lol of course it's like 5 hours after she says that she will and I register her... I'll let you guys know if she needs to be removed from the regis. list.

There will not be stopwatches used for 3x3. Any amount of practice should make WAY less than 10 minutes extremely simple.
 
Clock = :P

quick question: I want to change the name on my WCA profile to "Alexander Mertz" instead of "Alex Mertz". On the CubingUSA site I can modify my information, whilst still keeping it entered with the same WCA ID. If I change that to Alexander instead of Alex, will it change that on my WCA profile as well?

I think the best thing to do would talk to Stefan, because, if I'm not mistaken, he's in charge of the site.
