Dutch Masters 2008

Again, I would like to say that I'm not using the age as an excuse, and definitely not to brag about...
 
Hello there,

I'm planning to go to Dutch Masters too, but it's not sure yet :(

I've got one question, if I understood correctly, there'll be no fee for the people who won't stay at the hostel right ?

And about the events table, what does #competitors mean ?
 
But then, "times<1:30" means all the competitors must average under 1:30 to enter or is it some kind of elimination for the final round ?

(someone correct me if i am wrong) but yeah i think you need to be under that time to enter that part of the competition.

Sorry for the amateur-ness, but I don't see any other part of the competition concerning 4x4 Cube, and the time limit is still at 3 minutes, so it means that we can at least speedsolve the 4x4 one time, during a certain part of the competition, without having to be at 1:30 average right ?

on the website it says
4x4x4 cube - combined final - 4 minutes

it then says best of 2/average of 5 (times<1.30)

i think (again, someone correct me if i am wrong!) if you are sub 1.30 you do 5 solves of which you have an average but if you are sub 4 but still over 1.30 you just do best of two. does that make sense? i am not so good at explaining things! and yes there is only one round of 4x4, presumably because of the amount of competitors?
 
If you get a time of <1:30 you do a full average of 5, if not, you just do 2.

I wish the competitor list was online! I think there is ~40-50?
 
For many puzzles there is a "combined final". This basically means that you have to beat a certain time during your first two solves. If you beat that time you get to do 3 more solves (so you have 5 in total). If you don't beat the time on 1 of the first 2 solves you only get those 2 solves.

And MANY people will bring V-Cubes

If you will not stay in the youth hostel, the registration will be 10 euros, and you can have optional breakfast, lunch (5 euro) and dinner (7.50 euro).


BTW Ron and I organize the competitions you are welcome to mail us if you have question about the competition
