    One-Answer WCA Competition and Regulations Question Thread

    Thanks for answering. Yes, that should have been time-limit instead of cut-off - mixed up those two. My reasoning was about the same as your so I withdrew from 4x4x4 after having signed up for it and based on 2k6. However, from a newbie point of view the time-limit is for me the indication of...

    One-Answer WCA Competition and Regulations Question Thread

    Dear Forum, I have a beginner's question about the meaning of regulation 2k6, which says: My question is, if the above means that I as a competitor should be good enough to expect to stay within the cut-off time for the event? I'm asking, since I'd like to go to a competition and try out...

    Older cubers discussions

    Dear "senior" Cubers, I wrote a short data science inspired blog post about participating in my first WCA competition as 40+ year old: http://staff.math.su.se/hoehle/blog/2020/01/22/wcascrape.html In particular I was interested in ranking my result within the results of first competition...

    [Help Thread] Am I Competition Ready?

    [Member Intro] Slow, slower, me having fun!

    Dear Speedsolving Community, I'm a cuber located in Berlin, Germany, re-discovering the fun of cubing as part of my parental leave. My main interest is in the 3x3 with with occasional distractions by 2x2, 4x4, Pyraminx and Skewb. In 2013, I got a 3x3 cube and learned to solve it using the...

    How fast are the over 40's in competitions?

    Thanks for providing this analysis! In the post "Speedmining the cubing community" (http://staff.math.su.se/hoehle/blog/2019/05/06/wcamining.html) I wrote about an analysis, where I tried to figure out how much a skill outlier I would be as 40+ with a 180s 3x3x3 average at a a potential first...
