Competitions are all ages and there are no official WCA age group rankings; the senior rankings are unofficial (and opt-in, for privacy reasons). Some regions have a fairly large contingent of older competitors, it depends on where you are. In a lot of cases you still run the risk of being...

"Where Feliks can be found in 10 years" ?

Ah, yes, the old wrist-burner original hardware! Good read, good to meet you, and you're in good company here. There is an increasingly active niche group of cubers our age, and even unofficial age grouped rankings tracked: https://wca-seniors.org/Senior_Rankings.html...

I'm fully in favor of a little more forum infrastructure for the senior niche. Shen's comp round-ups are a fantastic thing for the senior cubing community, he puts a lot of time into them, and there are competitors here that are not on the Facebook group. It has fully earned a spot of its own...

It's unofficially official: Frank *is* the 90+ Kinch category

That 2x2 average should make him the first 90+ competitor with Kinch points (for known seniors in the Senior Rankings DB)

I've had a new site about 95% done for over 6 months with some polish for the Senior Kinch Ranks, support for light/dark themes, and senior profile pages that give a nice competitor overview. I carved out a hole in the schedule to dust it off and get about 4% more done, which is good enough to...

I also saw that Gary Miller will be entering the 80+ category at his next comp! It's inspiring to see all the senior accomplishments, thanks as always Shen.

After a fair bit of excavation and new wiring the senior profile page is finally taking shape and not just a mock-up. I'm liking the mobile friendliness of this latest layout experiment.
