Have tentative cut-off times been set yet?

I'm sure it will really depend on how quickly the day moves. Realistic cutoffs tend be like 1:30 for 4x4 and 2:30 for 5x5, but it could be more lax, I'm really not sure.

Well, that’s true. I was just wondering so I don’t sign up for something that will make the competition slow down :)

So, in anticipation of the competition, here are my goals, stuff I want to buy/trade for, and stuff I can trade/sell away.

Goals:

2x2: sub-9.5 average, sub 6 single
3x3: sub 25 average, sub 20 single
4x4: sub 1:45 single
5x5: sub 4:30 single
3x3 OH: sub 1:30 single
3x3 blind: 2 successful solves
Magic: sub 1.5 average, sub 1.3 single

Want to buy:

2x2 Eastsheen
Any 3x3 DIY’s (going to try and start multi-blinding soon)
Mefferts 4x4
6x6x6
Mefferts type 2 pyraminx
Master magic
2x2/3x3 stickers
*I’m sure there are more, so I will be updating*

Extra items/pieces for trade/sell/giving to the needy:

Rubik’s 4x4 center pieces/core
Meffert's type 1 pyraminx pieces (pieces, core, springs, small metal balls etc…)
Rubik’s 5x5
Set of 7x7 chrome stickers
Un-assembled elemental neon DIY kit
Lots of extra magic tiles/strings
Extra 3x3 pieces
Rubik’s brand stands
Rubik’s 2x2 ice pieces/core

This seems like this is going to be a great competition, even though I recently cut part of my finger off at work and had to change trigger fingers :)

Ohh

I better set some expectations. At Big Cubes, I had none so I was pretty much blank after every solve

2x2 - sub-6 single, sub-7 avg (Single was success, avg was fail)
3x3 - sub-20 single, sub-21 avg (both success)
4x4 - sub-1:20 single, sub-1:30 avg (both success)
5x5 - Oh god...I guess not use roux on 5x5 (FAIL)
magic - sub-1.3 single, sub1.4 avg NO DNFs (FAIL)
master magic - sub3.5 single, sub-5 avg. NO DNFs (FAIL)

now i can get disappointed :D

I could probably sell you all of those items, we can talk about it at the competition. Master Magic, idk, I'll think about it.

Why are your 3x3 goals so... bad? Before you said you were working on consistently getting sub 16 averages of 12
Sub 1.4 avg magic? :eek: My friend and I will have some competition.

My 3x3 times went down after Big Cubes. I'm only doing 17-18 again (+since I fail at competitions)
 
I guess I could set goals...the problem is that none of the events I'm practicing are happening on Saturday...

2x2: PR average (sub-6.11)
3x3: sub-16 average
4x4: sub-1:15
5x5: sub-2
OH: whatever
3BLD: success (I'm 1 for my last 11 and 0 for my last 5)
magic: first place
master magic: PR average (3.28) or first place
 
I've been practicing some blindsolves... and so far no success :(
I tried like 7 times and the closest I got was when one had only two pieces oriented incorrectly. Plus most of my times are 10+ minutes. Bleh...

Goals:
2x2: sub 7 average
3x3: sub 17 average
4x4: sub 1:25 average
5x5: sub 3:00 solves
3x3 OH: sub 1:00 solves
3x3 BLD: Successful sub 10 minute solve
Magic: Sub 1.5 average
Master Magic: Sub 6 seconds average

Sounds good, I will ask around for you at the competition. If worst comes to worst, I will scream your name really loud and pray your not in the middle of a blind solve:)
 
Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.


Just got my hands on my 4x4x4 which I left at my parents house a few months ago. Now, for the practicing...
