6x6+ Blindfolded Rankings Thread

I was thinking about adding something, but I wasn't sure of what formats I wanted to use. Should I have separate categories for BLD Relay and for Big cube multi (separate chart for 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, etc.) or should I count a big cube multi as a relay and just lump them together using the point system qqwref suggested? Your 3/3 5x5 attempt would have 11.376 points and your 5/5 4x4 cube would have 11.68 points. If I lumped them altogether, your result would be the 5/5 4x4 cube relay with 11.68 (unless you had something higher) and no one would see your 3/3 5x5 cube result. I also thought about ranking them by ALL results, so both feats could be acknowledged. Any result above 5.918 units would be added.

If you want to make your own thread thats okay with me too.

Yeah, i was thinking about that. I think its best to do it like that:

Count the BIG MULTI BLD not as a BLD RELAY.
So you have a list for Puzzle-x MULTI BLD. No matter if 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 or megaminx because i dont think that many people will try/succeed in anything bigger than maybe 6x6 or 7x7. So i dont think that its a lot of work. And then maybe think about a seperate BLD RELAY chart. Where you count everything together and 1st is the person with the most points. Next to the points, the chart will tell you what puzzles he did, so its more interesting than just seeing a bunch of numbers only. Thats my idea about that.

Also, it could be interesting to have a chart for everything, no matter what the even (single cube, big multi, relay) using the point system. Each person would only show up once, with their highest scoring performance. Might look like: [rank] [name] [score] [event]. Basically it's an overall ranking of big blinders. Just a though =)
 
I haven't noticed this thread until recently. It of course inspired me to better my times
and to film some solves. No luck with 6x6 as yet but two days ago I managed a PB at
7x7BLD. It is only my eighth success in 61 attempts so accuracy is not to good. Still I made
my first sub-hour solve in 53:45 (memo 27:15) in weekly comp 30.

But now I sit with a 3.4GB-video which is not exactly suitable to upload and watch
on the net. Can someone recommend a tool to (using Ubuntu) compress the video and
increase the speed? And what format (in size or other feasible parameters)?

This morning I made 6x6 in 30:02.10 (memo 16:25)
in this weeks weekly competition.

PB and a good time. Still I had a memo recall lapse
for over a minute, so there's a little more to give.
See if I can get the video uploaded this time.
 
7x7 BLD: 1:54:17.80[1:14:32.65]

I'll post the video link once it's uploaded (it's doing so now), but since it says 75 minutes and it's already 1:25 AM, it'll have to be tomorrow.
