Hey guys! It’s been a while since I’ve made any progress on this competition, and I’ve decided this would be a good time to get back to it! I promise I won’t drop off.
Just to remind you:
There’s going to be 3 events:
A running event where you attempt to run a mile as fast as possible.
A Gaming event, where you speedrun any video game of your choice, any category that’s on official leader boards, and you rank yourself based on where the time would fall on the leaderboard.
And for something speedcubing related, a 3x3 round-Robin style competition where you get paired up with someone close to your skill level and try to move up to finals.
I’m looking to do all of these events in a giant server-like way in Discord or any zoom call/google meet way. I know a lot of you guys are like 10+, so Discord might not be a valid option right now, and that would also include posting YouTube videos (since you need to be 13+ I believe) so that might also be out of the window.
The idea is that for the 3x3, you face off your competitor in a video call like in Monkey, with some broadcasting over the video.
For the mile run, I would totally recommend mapping out an area that’s a mile long and record that using a running app on a phone. Or even better: on a track.
Aaand for the Gaming section, I was hoping a video completion of the run, with Livesplit being used to help verify times.
Now how to register:
I’ll create a Google form soon, but basically it’s going to have the following questions:
1. What is your SS username?
2. What is your global 3x3 average at the moment (be honest! I want to pair you up with someone close to your skill level to make it fair)
3. What do you remember your fastest mile time being?
4. What video game would you like to speedrunning, and what category are you looking to speedrun?
5. Do you have any questions for me?
