A couple questions to the people organizing the comp: are 4 and 5 going to be combined finals? If so, what will the cut-off be? Furthermore, what would (probably; I'm aware that this estimate would be very hard to accurately pinpoint) be times that would secure top-8 in each event?

i'm not involved in the organization of it, but from my experiences, it's probably going to be combined [especially because of the number of events]. The cut off is (probably) 2 and 3 minutes. and for your last question, I can't say. I scored 2nd place if 5x5x5 once with a 3:00+ solve, i didn't even get to finish my average.

4 and 5 will most likely be combined finals. As for cutoff times, I think looking at the results of recent southern California events (e.g. Discovery Science Center, the San Diego competitions) will give you an idea of what to expect.

Yeah, cutoff times will probably be around 2 minutes for 4x4 and 3 for 5x5. As for top 8, nobody knows because it's way too dependent on how fast the people who show up are. (I can tell you what times you'll need to win 4x4 and 5x5, though.) For 3x3 you have enough people to make a good estimate - probably around 17-18 seconds for top 8.

I have no chance of winning 4 or 5; I average 1:30 and just barely under 3 for them, respectively. Now, to get sub-3 consistently... *sigh*

That's not egotistical at all... 'tho I'm not denying that it's true.
