algorithm sheet

[STOCKY7]

Hi, im new to this....
but if I were to take part in a competition, would I be allowed to take in a sheet with a few algorithms on in case i forget any while solving???? is this allowed????!!!1 :confused::confused::confused:

No, you cannot use a sheet with algorithms on it. Also, this might be the first time I see a legit 1 paired with !s unless this is a joke post/spam.

If you can't remember your algorithms, don't go to a competition.

thats a bit harsh;/

my advice is learn your algs as best you can and take them one at a time

go 2 look atleast

If your using the beginners method just keep solving over and over and it will become muscle memory.

You can take them to a competition, but not use them for official solves. Also, it isn't recommended to learn new algorithms within ~2 weeks of a competition because you might mess up an alg in an official solve and end up with a time slower than what it would have been without using that alg.

I find it helpful to learn algs up the 2 days before the competition.

although I usually only leave the easy ones until then...

I memorized 3 OH PLL algorithms while I was going to the Park Ridge comp...

This is probably not a good idea though.

no this isn't a joke, I am just genuinely wondering. ive recently really got into speed cubing, and so am new to all of this.
another question I have is: are there any small local competitions anywhere, as on the WCA it only shows the major ones, which i wouldn't do very well in :/ ?????

the WCA shows all WCA-official tournaments, small and large. There are occasionally unofficial tournaments, but you'd just have to get lucky and hear about one near you.

also your times dont matter that much at comps cubers(the majority anyway) dont care if you take 10 mins to solve or 10 seconds.competing is more about fun for me
