Sorry, I'm a bit new to cubing but how do the cutoffs work?

 

[Thompson]

90% sure I'll be in for this. Excited for my first Canadian comp in a long while!

Yes Kit!!

 

[Coolster01]

Sorry, I'm a bit new to cubing but how do the cutoffs work?

Regular cutoffs - For average of 5 events, you have 2 solves to get below that time, or else you can't finish the average. For mean of 3/best of 3 events, you get 1 chance to get below that time, or else you, again, can't finish the average.

As for hard cutoffs - All solves must be under this time. Once any solve goes over the time, you are stopped and given a DNF and usually your average is stopped too. For example, if a feet hard cutoff is 5 minutes, and you are on PLL at 5, your time is a DNF and no more solves. This also goes for average of 5 events, too.

 

[RaresB]

There are two types of cutoffs a hard cutoff and a soft cutoff.
A hard cutoff means that if you dont solve within the set cutoff time you will not be able to complete the solve, in other words you get a DNF.
A soft cutoff means that you have a set amount of tries to solve within the cutoff time, (first 2 if its an avg5 and 1 if its mo3) if you are successful in at least one of those attempts you may complete the average, if not you will not be allowed to complete the average.
In the case of Canadian Open the cutoffs are soft cutoffs.
Using 4x4 as an example the cutoff is 1:30 so if you dont get a time equal to or better than 1:30 in at least one of your first 2 solves you will not be able to finish the average and only the first 2 solves will be recorded.

EDIT: NINJD
