Cubing teams

[tozies24]

There could even be divisions. I think that it would be possible to do a forum competition that was team based and that isn't team based in the sense of team bld or "team solving". Get 5 people and then you are matched up with another team in 5 events. There would be matchups and this would force the team captain to decide who he/she wants to be in each event.
For example: The events are 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, and OH for a given week. Someone might not be that strong at big cubes and OH, but they can still contribute through 2x2 or 3x3. This would also add an element to cubing that is commonly asked by non-cubers. You don't necessarily race against each other in a WCA competition, but this would be a race against the other person who is doing the same event as you on the other team.

I got a little bit too excited with this...

I like the region idea. Teams maybe of States...

 

[Andreaillest]

I'll get picked last. :'(

But in all seriousness, after reading some input and details, this doesn't sound too bad.

sounds like a plan then, keep throwing out ideas, Team Contests Begin! I think it's fitting that i organize them Maybe could be different divisions as suggested, square 1, oh, blindfold , We could make brackets, weekly things king of the hill esk things.

Keep it up, it seems like this has gotten noticed

So how at teams decided?

 

[Hershey]

Forum competition teams? This sounds fun!

 

[Cubetastic]

:O didnt think it would be that much responsibility

Teams shall be decided as follows :

Players shall be ranked as times, times will be ranked from numbers, 1-10,

1 being elite, 10 being lesser elite
10-20 seconds level 1, 20-27 lvl 2 27-33 lvl 3 33-35 lvl 4 35-40 lvl 5 40-43 lvl 6 43-46 lvl 7 46-50 lvl 8 50-1 min lvl 9 and 1 minute and higher level 10
The above numbers were not, I repeat not randomly generated by my brain.
Numbers will be updated every week for people who improve weekly.

Teams of 5 so its easier to get an average, Teams will have no more than 2 people within 4 levels of each other, when lvl 6 and over no need for the 4 lvl change
If a team is reported 3 times for being unfair with the selection if something happens or if this system just got exposed and doesnt work, lmk with better suggestions

forgot what else i was going to say, will edit as i remember !

 

[emolover]

Think that most people who want to do this are sub 30 so ya...

Edit: I think it should be
1: sub 10
2: 10-12
3: 13-15
4: 16-18
5: 19-21
6: 22-24
7: 25-30
8: 30-40
9: 40-60
10: 60+

except for me D:

 

[blakedacuber]

im in

get a list of people that are doing it and just us a random generator to select the teams?

Read edited part.

 

[Hershey]

Shouldn't you have different skill levels for different events? For example, in an official WCA rubik's cube competition, it might take a sub 20 average to get into the second round in the 3x3 event but in 3x3 OH, it would take a sub 30 average to get into the second round.

 

[Cubetastic]

sounds good, teams will change weekly affter a few rounds each week

Edit: Just read other edit, i will need a second hand to discuss if the teams randomly generated are unfair

 

[Hershey]

This seems good, but can people request to do a certain event and then get organized into teams?

 

[emolover]

That might not be a good idea. Some people might only do 3x3 or 2x2 and that sucks.

 

[tozies24]

I like the ideas that have came forth, but what do you guys think of my idea with having matchups for the teams? Instead of having teams just compete against the rest of the "league", we would have two teams go up against each other. Also, would the events just be 3x3? or would it change each week? or would it be a couple events?

EDIT: This way, if someone could only do 2x2 or 3x3, then they could do that because one of the other team members could do a different event even if it isn't one of their strongest.

 

[Cubetastic]

indeed they shall, the events shall be

2x2 speed, blindfold (not sure if anyone oh's 2x2)
3x3 speed, blindfold OH
4x4 speed, blindfold
5x5 speed, blindfold
6x6 speed, maybe blindfold, not sure if people would be willing to do it
7x7 speed same as 6x6
Megaminx
Pyraminx


how does that sound, each team will be assigned a leader, leaders may be empeached if all players in the team want a switch cuz bad, leader will take imput from all the players via some relay of info, maybe private message aim or youtube to do whatever they need to do with the team

how does that sound? first kinda thing like this ive ever done

Edit: I will chose a single manager for each event, each event may not take place every week but a few will always be running at once, forgot again, will edit if i remember stuff LOL snap, forgot mega, pyra, sq-1 good thing no one had to remind me

 

[emolover]

No mega? Pyra? SQ-1? aww...

 

[tozies24]

I like it. I think that you should keep cycle events each week and only 5 a week. Have little cubes one week, then blind one week, then big cubes the next. Mix it up

 

[emolover]

You cant have a blind week. I can only solve a 2x2 using guestega and I can do the corners on a 3x3 with Pochmann.
