According to the regulations this year, 1/2 MBLDs are considered DNFs :/

Odeer

 

[STOCKY7]

If you got 1/2 MBLD, that's a success?

Nope, the regs have changed so that 1/2 is no longer a success. Otherwise people who can't do MBLD, but can do normal 3BLD, only bother doing 1 cube.
Tbh, not sure why this made them change it.. maybe it was seen as being a bit of a waste of time with people entering who can't actually MBLD at all.

So is a 3/6 a DNF too?

no 3/6 is still a success because you still solved more than one cube successfully, multiblind is havind solving more than one cube, you get it multi- meaning at least more than one

Thanks bae [emoji8]

No. That would be a successful 0 points Only 0 points that is DNF is 1/2.

It's interesting - I think that may mean that if going for an all events relay, it may now be preferable to go for 3 cubes multiBLD instead of 2. Your chance of a success would probably increase substantially for relatively little extra time (assuming a decent overall accuracy).

Oh FML!

4BLD DNF(3:05.34)[1:20.45] by center 3-cycle... Did EV instead of VE... ****! 19 seconds faster than PB...

Nah. I'm saving my first sub-3 for my next comp, so you'll have to wait till February

Tried to do my first ever proper blind solve and forgot flipped edges

4BLD DNF: 6:17.75

U2 r D2 L2 D R2 D2 u2 F' R' U F' u' R' D2 f2 u r' F2 B D' r2 U2 F2 B2 R L u2 F' r' B' L' R F' R2 L2 U R2 U2 L

Off by two centers. Would've been PB by almost a minute and a half.

4BLD DNF - 2:54.74 [0:55]
scramble had triple parity
ended up being off by a few wings

 

[JasonDL13]

scramble had triple parity

What, how many parity's are in 4BLD? What do they do?

 

[Cale S]

What, how many parity's are in 4BLD? What do they do?

center parity, wing parity, and corner parity

They are all independent of each other, so you can have any combination of the three. You have parity if you memorized an odd number of targets for that piece type. To fix it, you have to do an alg that only swaps your buffer with your very last target.

 

[JasonDL13]

center parity, wing parity, and corner parity

Thanks!

 

[Berd]

Thanks!

Center parity it the most horrible alg using U2 [emoji40]

 

[SirWaffle]

eh not too big of a failure but 1/2 2:53, would have been a good time for me. Memo time was 59 seconds btw

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

3BLD Attempt old pochman corners and edges. Did edges perfectly, forgot about parity, then did corners... none were right.
