Levittown Open 2012

[Divineskulls]

Why not? What's wrong with variety?

They are too much trouble to have at smaller comps. Only a handful of people ever do them at bigger ones, and I honestly can't see more than 3 people doing big BLD, if I had them. They take up too much time, and if I had them throughout the day, I don't think many people will be able to get their solves done. They just add stress on to judges and organizers.


Also, my event list and schedule are packed, in my opinion. So I'm not adding anything to this one. However, if I do have another one farther down the road(which depends on how this one goes), I might be able to be persuaded to do big BLD, if my event list is small.

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to clarify those things.

Big BLD are already going to happen at LSC two weeks later. Don't really see the point of having it at Levittown. :shrug:

Any idea as to what the megaminx cut off will be? I'm only going to sign up for it if I know I can make the cut off.

What do you average on megaminx?

 

[cityzach]

What do you average on megaminx?

Not sure exactly, I think like sub 3:30.

 

[Kian]

Not sure exactly, I think like sub 3:30.

I doubt that will be below the average cutoff. That's pretty high.

 

[MirzaCubing]

Nick told me it was 2:00 or 2:30. I don't exactly remember though

 

[Divineskulls]

I was thinking of having the hard cutoff at 4:00, and the soft cutoff at 2:30. But I think it's a little early for me to give a definite answer. I'll be starting to put the cutoffs on the website in the next few weeks.

Dang it, 2:30 is what I average on good days. Better practice...

My brother will be doing just magics there.

What's the cutoff for 4x4?

Probably 1:30 for an average.


Edit: Just updated the site with cutoffs. These are subject to change. I also fixed an error about OH. To clarify, There will only be one round of one handed. Sorry if this disappoints anyone. :/

Dang, wasted all that time florian/konsta modding my 4x4 when I realized I could pass the cutoff...
I really suck at 5x5 and megaminx...

The only thing that would need to be provided would be scrambles, and a scrambler. It's easy to find others to judge for you (or even a relative at the comp). As for time, the solves can be done anytime when competitors have free time.
I suppose it would add stress to the organizers if printing 6 scrambles is stressful.

I'm not dignifying this with a defending response. You're going to learn eventually that there are people that like to argue even more than you do, and when you do, I hope you'll realize how annoying and frustrating it is to converse with someone like you.

You'll just have to hold big BLD when you organize a competition then.

By not objecting to my points, you must be conceding them. If you don't like big bld, just say so. There's really no reason to get hostile.

He already said that lol.

Someone brought to my attention that I didn't mention something on the website, I'll add it now, but I just want to call it to everyone's attention. If you choose to pay at the door, registration will cost $15 dollars, as apposed to $10 if you were to pay online beforehand.

Also, if you wish to dodge paying this extra $5, please register AND PAY on the website. There are a lot of people who have registered but have not payed. If you don't pay, I'll have to assume that you might not come. Thanks.
