Cubing teams

We could do the thing were we have no more than 1 person at a certain level, but there won't be more than one person doing an event I think. Unless we want that to happen.

The team would just pick their fastest person lol. And for now I think at least we should stick to 3x3 and 2x2, puzzles that 90% of cubers have.
 
Yeah that's the point... You would have your fastest cuber go up against their fastest cuber in that event.

In my opinion that defeats the purpose of a team. Dictionary.com defines a team as "a number of persons associated in some joint action". A team works together, as a whole. The entire team should average I think.

Well maybe we could do that for the 3x3, but there should still the concept of events and having people doing different events. The joint action here is trying to have lower times in the different events. I mean, it comes down to a 1v1 thing against the other team's cuber.
 
Interesting points, those 3 people you named would be staff or a competing team? the average of everybodys solve was my main idea, the level system seems like people aggree

everybody start entering in the following form

Cubes you own:
Times:
Events:

when there is events like one hand and blind fold, the scoring system will change since not everyone can do that

maybe we do a limit of time that people can have, so that the competitors dont get angry/ENRAGED if they dont have the best teams,

and also i will start creating the staff for this thing, and no one answered D:

How do i ask to get a thread moved?
 
Here's a situation that I am thinking of. Lets say that the week is a regular week. The events are 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, and 3x3 OH.

There are 5 cubers on your team:

Cuber 1: Good at 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4, but stinks at OH and doesn't own a 5x5.
Cuber 2: Doesn't own anything but a 3x3 and is decent at OH
Cuber 3: Good at everything
Cuber 4: A casual cuber who is decent at all of the cubes
Cuber 5: Only owns a 2x2 and 3x3 and can OH decently.

For this line-up, you have some options for who you would want doing which event. For this, you could have Cuber 1 do 4x4, Cuber 2 do 3x3, Cuber 3 do 5x5, Cuber 4 do OH, and Cuber 5 do 2x2. Obviously this would change depending on how good each person was and which team you were going up against, but this would be the set-up that I think would work well. You would want each event to be filled so that you could get the most points, even if you didn't win.
 
I guess I will start out with my info.

1) Cubes I own: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, square-1 (of course I won't compete in sq-1)

2)Times:
2x2 - sub 7 usually
3x3- sub 18 mostly, always sub 20 average at least
4x4- sub 1:25 (min:sec)

3x3 OH: sub 25 mostly, never over 27 (even 25.xx average is fail for me)

3) Events: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, OH

OH is my best event.

3x3: sub 18ish
4x4: 1:15ish
5x5: 5min... Wont compete in it
OH: 35ish

And to move the thread, you need to ask a moderator. Just PM a mod with a link to this thread asking to move it to the forumrace section.
 
I might as well give my info
Cubes : 2x2, 3x3, OH, 4x4, Pyra
Times: sub 6 (but im learning clls only 15 left), 14-16, 25-30, 1:30-1:50, 20-30(never practice)
 
Cubes: 3(others broken) sq1 and magic

3x3 - around 30
Sq1 - around 2:00 w/o parity(don't know it)
Magic - around 0.8 - 1 second
 
My info:

Puzzles: Every official puzzle except the magics

Averages:
2x2 - idk, I never practice, probably around 4.5
3x3 - 14-14.5
4x4 - 1:00-1:05
5x5 - 1:30-1:40
6x6 - 3:35
7x7 - 5:30 - 5:50
OH - 30-35
Clock - idk, I have never done a real practice session, my guess would be 17-18
Megaminx - 2:10-2:40 (wide range because I never practice)
Pyraminx - 8
Square-1 - 30
3BLD - haven't done real practice in quite awhile. Have a sub-2 PB, but if I were to try right now, would probably average around 3 until I got used to it again.
 
2x2: 7-8
3x3: 17-18
4x4: 2:00 XD
OH: 40
Megaminx: 2:10
magic: haven't tried in a while, prob around 1.7-1.6
master magic: 3.5

We really need to figure out how we are going to do this. I still think that if everybody on the team averaged together their solves it would be the best, and you can't have a more than 1 cuber in the same level.

sure :P shelley, stachuk, and davidwoner are the first mods to come to mind.
And we need to keep track of everybody's info. I can take down every1s info, but we need to decide how teams will be made. Will you be able to have your 5 members (it seems we have agreed on 5) be in all levels no matter what, or does every1 have to be in a different level?

I said this on an earlier post, but will say again.

Can I be part of the staff that helps with organizing the teams, confirming which teams are too unbalanced to be official, etc. Anything that involves them I will help with. I am very active on the forum, so I will be able to help a lot.
