Cubetcha 2009

[King Koopa]

And you'll have 15 shots at 3x3, <SARCASM>assuming you make it to the final round</SARCASM>

He won't, I'm going to take all 16 spots in the final.

Then I will have 10 to NAR single and 2 NR or NAR average

2x2: one sub-4 avg, both avgs sub-4.5
3x3: sub13 single, sub15 avg, don't fail finals.
4x4: ~57 avg
5x5: sub2avg
OH: sub30 avg maybe. don't really care
BLD: ~2:20
pyra: sub-8 avg, maybe lower if someone has a good tropicalestore I can borrow.

mega: beat Waris
clock: 1.5s under w/e time wins WC
sq1: ~18 avg, 15 single

When I saw the name of this competition, I thought it was a play on "captcha" as opposed to "ubetcha".

Same >_>

lolololol

I thought that it was CubeTECHA.

Bryan I need 4x4... I am trying to get NAR...

So after Worlds, do you think you have a chance at 4x4x4 NAR? Or are you going to focus on a different event?

Also, I have a trading thread for Cubetcha if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Well a bit after I posted this I realized that Dan would probably beat NAR for 4x4, so I have been 100% focused on 3x3. So I am going to go for NAR for that. I was almost certain to get NR, but Dan killed that too, so I might as well just get a sub 11 average...



If we add another event, can it be megaminx???

 

[DavidWoner]

Why are there two rounds for OH? Given that there are only 11 people registered and it is a relatively unpopular event I think that time could be used for other events that people want more. And why is 2x2 final top 16? There are only 17 people for 2x2 thus far and I feel a 6 or 8 person final would take only 10-15 minutes max.

Also, I will scramble all of megaminx if sq1 is added. And clock is a given.

And in case nobody caught the hint in my last post, I'd really like to borrow a pyraminx from someone.

If you wanna use mine you can.

Goin' for some more sub-10 solves Waris?

kinda go for the sub WR approach but i hope to get an sub 9 single and a sub 12 average. hopefully NAR

 

[Logan]

hahaha. I bet you will. I hope I'm not solving when you're up so I can see it.

When Cubetcha was initially planned, we didn't know what kind of turnout we would have, or what kind of help we would have, so we kept the events down to the initial events that had optimal scrambling, and just went with more solves for people.

Of course, since turnout is kind of low (and we now have people like you and Waris), we may have to adjust this a bit (like one-handed). But I think a large second 2x2 round wouldn't be an issue.

And you can borrow my Pyraminx.

I wonder why its not like Twin Cities 09, because there were like 50 people there

I would go IF It wasn't a 5 hour drive... I really wanna go to a comp.

It like 6 hrs for me... Traveling 5 or 6 hrs isn't that bad

The free hotel room isn't that useful if you don't drive. Where are you from? Unless you're right near Kansas City, this may be the closest competition to you (besides the ones in Rochester) for a while.

I tried to setup a competition in Iowa with two different people and those both fell through.

I live in the Chicago-land area so I would have to stay at a hotel.

And yes I(my mom) would have to drive me.

 

[King Koopa]

Since there isn't gonna be a second OH round, can we do Megaminx please?

 

[Bryan]

We're going to try and get through many extra events.....I'm guessing 4x4 and 5x5 and clock will take priority over Megaminx, but it depends on the numbers and how far we run ahead.

 

[Bryan]

"Registration closes on October 19th." Why are people surprised when it's October 19th and registration is closed? As much as I love you registering at the very last minute, come on!

 

[King Koopa]

will there be internet access from the church?
