Mental Breakdown Germany 2017

[Laura O]

Hi everyone,

we would like to invite you to Mental Breakdown Germany 2017!

Date:
February 11th and 12th 2017

Website:
https://cubecomp.de/mbg17/en/

Events and schedule:

• 3BLD - 3 rounds
• 4BLD - 2 rounds
• 5BLD - 1 round
• MultiBLD - 1 round
• FMC - 2 rounds
• Feet - 2 rounds
• Unofficial events: Pyraminx FMC, FMC Head to head, TeamBLD

Each BigBLD and MultiBLD attempt is held in individual timeframes with relaxed time limits, so you have a lot of time to do your attempts and do not have to do one after another in a squeezed time frame. You can find the schedule with more details here.

Travelling:
Paderborn is quite in the centre of Germany and can be easily reached by train or car.
There is also a minor international airport (Paderborn-Lippstadt) with daily flights to Munich and other locations. Dortmund airport, which is mainly used by low-cost airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air, is about an hour train-ride away.

We would be happy to have some international guests at this competition!

This comp sounds perfect for me. I'd love to be an international guest but unfortunately the timing won't work for me .

I had a school opportunity to go to Germany, but it was in the summer and I had to turn it down...

Just another person appreciating how awesome this comp is. I'm 99% sure I won't be able to go.

Jesus Christ I thought someone had a mental breakdown in a Germany comp
Unofficial events look awesome

Does pyra FMC include tips?

We will use official scrambles, so yes.

I've tried pyraminx FMC before. If I am given the optimal number of moves required, normally it doesn't take me that long to find an optimal solution. So I was wondering what if the aim of each attempt is to find and write down an optimal solution as quickly as possible?

o bby

Plane tickets from San Francisco aren't crazy expensive, but I think I'll wait until Worlds.

Lmao.. this comp name was approved but "ABC 201x" (August Bank Holiday) was declined as "inappropriate" :rolleyes:

This isn't the first comp to use this name

 

[Roman]

I'll be there

Edit: in case I will be still interested in cubing by that time

 

[porkynator]

I am tempted to go, but it's in the middle of my exams and this semester is really tough. My plan for now is: study like crazy and do the most exams I can in January. If I do at least all but one I'll get last minute bus or something.

Making that a "first optimal solution wins"-contest sounds a bit boring and chaotic, especially when you do that at a competition with 20 people or more.
However, I haven't tried it seriously yet... I should start practicing.

Making it timed and be a mean of 3 makes more sense
