This is so stupid. You are NR holder and you can't even compete in 2x2? It's harming not only yourself but the whole Swiss speedcubers community since you have huge chance to get at least ER. Organizers should be ashamed of themselves.

i find this pretty stupid, just becuase someone is cappable of ER means he is an exception so he can compete in 2x2? that just sounds stupid

I think that the opposite would be true, the registration was open to everyone and it's just bad luck that he didn't sign up before the slots were full. If a slot was kept open for him just because he's very fast, that wouldn't be fair to other people who would essentially be competing for 24 slots instead of 25.

I agree, however I don't understand what the organizers were thinking about this registration. Why not lower the overall competitor cap and have anyone who signed up have the chance to compete in every event.

As you can see in the text below (which is copied from the registration site), there is a competitor limit of 25 people for all but 3x3. I was the 27th[emoji53] . Maybe two people will overdraw and I can compete in 2x2 but if not, I won't go to the competition.


Text from registration site:
Registration fee is 5 CHF per day. Registration will be closed on November, 10. Competition limit is 25 competitors, after that we will accept registrations only for 3x3x3.


Edit: it was with stackmat of course

they must have trouble finding good venues, I could hold one in my house/backyard and have a higher limit of people

Cool cool. I learned parity last night, so I'm still new to SQ-1. My EO is horrendous.

Average: 39.12

1. 35.84 (0, 5)/(-5, 1)/(0, -3)/(6, 0)/(-1, -1)/(1, 0)/(-3, 0)/(-3, -2)/(-4, 0)/(6, -4)/(-3, -2)/(2, 0)/
2. 1:05.53 (-5, 0)/(5, 2)/(3, 0)/(4, -5)/(3, 0)/(3, 0)/(-1, 0)/(3, 0)/(-5, 0)/(-4, 0)/(2, -3)/(-4, 0)/(-2, 0)/(-4, 0)
3. 30.93 (-5, 0)/(0, 3)/(5, -1)/(1, -2)/(3, 0)/(-4, -1)/(-2, 0)/(-3, -3)/(0, -3)/(-1, -3)/(2, 0)/(-4, 0)/(6, 0)
4. 39.07 (3, -1)/(3, 6)/(-2, -5)/(3, 0)/(2, -1)/(-2, -3)/(3, 0)/(2, 0)/(1, 0)/(1, -2)/(-2, -3)/(6, 0)
5. 42.44 (-5, 3)/(2, -1)/(6, -3)/(4, -2)/(-3, 0)/(2, 0)/(-3, -3)/(0, -1)/(2, 0)/(-2, 0)/(2, -4)

EDIT: Why did all the GA cubers suddenly start doing SQ-1 lol?
EDIT 2: FML, I accidentally just deleted my session of ~200 Megaminx solves and didn't get to write down my PB Ao12. :(

Probably because Music City has it, though I did it officially in June.

Here's how I do EO: use M2 ((1,0) / (-1,-1) / (0,1)) to try to reduce to 1 edge ((0,-1) / (-3,0) / (4,1) / (-4,-1) / (3,0) / (0,1)). The only case this doesn't work on is 2 adjacent edges ((1,0) / (-3,0) / (-1,-1) / (4,1) / (-1,0)).
