In the context of Lawrence it is not something that I would enforce. It's a 100 person competition with about 50 new competitors. Waiting 60 seconds for a person to hear their name and figure out the process is not in the spirit of that regulation IMHO.

Delays between competitors is definitely an overhead, but it's one that you'll encounter in any non-trivial competition. We had more new people last weekend than the there were competitors last time. We actually did a pretty good job considering those circumstances. Thankfully we had an extremely capable staff (and lots of volunteers!) and were able to keep things moving along.

When would you enforce it? I get where your coming from especially for like 3x3 and pyramix at a comp like that. But what about some of the other longer events like 6x6 and 5x5? Those will only be competed by more experienced people. Although those are the people who will be pretty fast. That being said it is still a rule.

When someone gets to the station and takes forever to warm up, or waits way too long for the cameraman.

My HuaLongs and my Yuxin 4x4 came in the mail today! I can't wait to get them and all the stickers that I ordered. ZOMG I have so much cubing contraband waiting for me at my apartment when I get home from work!

 

[biscuit]

lol. Can't wait to try the HuaLong

 

[Psyph3r]

The white version of the hualong is my new main instantly it turns like butter and is controllable it also corner cuts like a god. Also the yuxin is a great 4x4.

 

[Psyph3r]

I actually like the black version better now. They are both super smooth for me.

Did kcubing die? No one is talking here anymore.

 

[biscuit]

There's just not a ton too talk about. I think I will be getting a HuaLong soon.

I think redKB has a video on it. Otherwise just search youtube

 

[Psyph3r]

I have no idea what an axel puzzle is tbh

I got an Ao5 last night that had a counting 25 and a counting 26 if I remember correctly. Broke my PB with a 24.1 and shattered all of my ao5 and ao12 records. Thank god for easy crosses and PLL skips/accidental 1L PLL.

 

[biscuit]

GJ! Yesterday I set my 5x5 record

 

[Psyph3r]

The ao5 was
(24.194)
26.718
(35.31)
25.929
31.406

All three of the 20s were skips and easy crosses haha.

What was your 5x5 time?

Congrats! How do you like that shengshou?

 

[Psyph3r]

that is sadly almost faster than my best 4x4 time

I really like how smooth it is. It pops quite a bit but the worst I have had is and edge and center piece. Really happy with it! Also I actually really like the pink. If I get new stickers I will have pink
