Dixon Fall 2016 (Competition)

[Aayan Ali]

Thanks!
I may be going, my dad drives 1 and a half hours to work and back, so he might take me there.

 

[biscuit]

Can someone please give me an estimate on how long it will take to drive from Chicago to the event?

2 hours 20 minutes according to google.

2 hours 20 minutes according to google.

although it depends on when you google it because it accounts for traffic

Registration is halfway full btw

no mo cyoooooooooooo

the upside is that my chance to podium in 2x2 is around 50/50 now

 

[Knut]

I'm going!

Goals:
3x3: sub-14 avg, sub-13 single, make second round (not sure how many they're advancing though, so that could change)
OH: sub-30 avg, sub-27 single
2x2: Don't suck.

At Dixon Winter 2016, 33 people advanced to round 2 and 8 advanced to the finals. (19.97 and 12.36 respectively). A sub-14 average will EASILY get you to round 2. Right now, 14.00 would rank 15th on the psych sheet. I have a feeling that they'll do top 10 for the finals this time, and if they do I think I'll easily qualify.

Oh, sweet! I think I'll revise that to "make finals" then. Quite a long shot, but something to go for. At the rate I've been improving I could be sub-13 by then, if I practice.

I'm officially signed up! I hope do well in 2x2 (finals at least), and it'd be cool to make 3x3 finals but that could be hard. I'm also signed up for 4x4 (tentative) and squan (tentative) which are both kind of lol events for me...

EDIT: my friend who's really good at skewb is going too, he's not that great at the cubic events tho...

I'm glad you took my advice to do 3x3 lol
but really if you get a sub-12 3x3 average you'll make the finals.

 

[gateway cuber]

I doubt I'll get sub 12, I'll be fortunate to get sub 13.5...
But 2x2 It's not too unrealistic to go for sub-3 in the finals...

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

if chris olson and john brechon mess up and I get a PB average in the finals then I'll podium

 

[biscuit]

Well you have a 90% chance on Chris, so...

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

ok so now I just need John to mess up (actually just getting a sup-10 avg would be fine) and then get a PB average!
My PB isn't 9.85 anymore I forgot to change it

aaaaaaaannnd... registration is full.
oboy it's 4 weeks away heip

 

[GenTheSnail]

This is going to be my little brothers first competition, and his WCA ID is going to be 2016GEEK01.
I loled so hard when I realized what it would be.

EDIT: CUSA pyscsheets are back up.
And how am I in the OH top 12 with a 26 average??

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

I just spent an hour or three making an "improved" psych sheet.

meta averages ftw!

I sure hope I can get something better than 21.56 though

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

Of course it will be inaccurate for some people who have improved since their most recent competition(s).
I sure hope I can get better than 12.14, it's because of KCubing 2015, where I got 3 sup-12 averages, that I have a sup-12 meta average.

I'm planning on making one for 2x2 tonight, but both that one and the 3x3 one will need to be updated before the comp, probably on the 6th.

 

[gateway cuber]

I just spent an hour or three making an "improved" psych sheet.

My meta avg would equate to 13-sh based of my last mini-comp so top 12 at least but right right now I'm getting like 13's and 14's ): but w/2x2 I'm almost sub-3 consistently.

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

I have around a 20% chance of getting a sub-3 average in each round, according to my simulation where I picked random times out of an ao100 and averaged them (I did 100 million trials xD)
