Forum Competition 2024 (Closed, Finished)

[Splenj]

Edit: Spreadsheet here : 2024 Competition Spreadsheet

I'm planning on making a competition which will start tomorrow, and include all WCA events (plus maybe one or two non-WCA) but first I need to ask some questions about all the events (mainly how many groups for each event)

1. 3x3 - 5 solves, how many rounds?
2. 2x2 - 5 solves, how many rounds?
3. 4x4 - 5 solves, how many rounds?
4. 5x5 - 5 solves, how many rounds?
5. 6x6 - 3 solves, how many rounds?
6. 7x7 - 3 solves, how many rounds?
7. Skewb - 5 solves, how many rounds?
8. Pyraminx - 5 solves, how many rounds?
9. Megaminx - 5 solves, how many rounds?
10. Square-1 - 5 solves, how many rounds?
11. Clock - 5 solves, how many rounds?
12. 3x3 OH - 5 solves, how many rounds?
13. 3x3 Bld - 3 solves, how many rounds?
14. 3x3 FMC - 3 attempts, how many rounds?
15. 3x3 Multi-Bld - how many attempts, how many rounds?
16. 4x4 Bld & 5x5 Bld - how many attempts, how many rounds?

And finally - 17. What 2 non-WCA events shall we add

(I will aim to open registration from tomorrow)

 

[CAPTAINVALPO96]

2BLD and Mirror Blocks, I will join.

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

I would suggest maybe adding a relay, 2-3-4 or 2-3-4-5 would be cool. I don't have any side events so I can only do Nxns, but I'll join.

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Laying out the scheduling for rounds, I'd recommend:

3x3: 3 rounds
2x2: 3 rounds
4x4: 2 rounds
5x5: 2 rounds
6x6: 1 round
7x7: 1 round
Skewb: 3 rounds
Pyraminx: 3 rounds
Megaminx: 2 rounds
Square 1: 2 rounds
Clock: 2 rounds
3x3 OH: 2 rounds
3, 4, 5, Multi BLD: 1 round
FMC: 1 round

As for attempts on 4 5 BLD, I'd say 2 attempts.
M Bld probably only 1 attempt.

Just my thoughts anyway, idk how big the comp will be.

for non-WCA events, could we have Corner Helicopter 2x2 and FTO?

Thanks NebraskanSpeedsolver - I will go with this layout

As for non-WCA - maybe (as per the results of the possible new event for the weekly comp) I'll do Real Man's Ao5 (as anyone with a 3x3 can do it), and Corner Helicopter 2x2, but this is still viable for change if there are any more popular options (by tomorrow (GMT) preferably)

I'll sort an Excel spreadsheet for filling details in and the events we'll be doing today - and then will share tomorrow so people can start joining properly

I agree with this layout

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Lol never been to a comp, I just guessed

I agree with this layout

FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO FTO

 

[Isaiah Scott]

I'll compete in 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, OH, Megaminx, Squan, Pyra, Clock, Skewb, and Real Mans ao5
Thanks for organizing @Splenj

 

[SkewbIsTheBestEvent]

I will compete in everything.

 

[Splenj]

I will share a spreadsheet on here tomorrow, then you can fill in what you are doing yourself (to save some time)

 

[Splenj]

On second thoughts, I've actually completed the spreadsheet, so will share here now

Events possible:
3x3, 2x2, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, Skewb, Megaminx, Pyraminx, Square-1, Clock, 3x3 OH, 3x3 FMC, 3x3 Bld, 4x4 Bld, 5x5 Bld, 3x3 MultiBld, Real Mans Ao5, and Corner Helicopter 2x2

My aim is to keep this option open till 20th Feb (approx. 1 month) so there is plenty of time for people to join - I will post the time there is left every week so that we can gain more competitors (if thats allowed)

I'm afraid there is no prize (other than bragging rights) if you win - its more on the side of fun (hopefully )

Spreadsheet here : 2024 Competition Spreadsheet

(If you're doing MultiBld, can you pls write an estimate of how many cubes you will aim to solve pls, so I know how many scrambles to supply)

I do not have access to edit the spreadsheet

 

[GloopyGum]

It's probably a good idea to put the spreadsheet link in the top post @Splenj

 

[CAPTAINVALPO96]

Also you should make the sheet so anyone can edit
