[Kit Clement]

Please be Square-1, please time.

I'd say it's somewhat likely, but it will really depend on the help we get and how many people are there - I wanted to make sure Tyler would be fine for his first competition. Looking forward to this!

WHAT!? D:
I finally decide that this will be my "get back into cubing competition", and you won't be there? It's alright I guess.. I'll beat my 2x2 average just for you Rami!! Haha, but in all seriousness I really hope I beat that average...

 

[RageCuber]

This may sound stupid, but what is the difference between hard and soft cutoff?

 

[yoshinator]

This may sound stupid, but what is the difference between hard and soft cutoff?

For soft cutoff, one of your first two solves has to be under that time, or else you don't get to finish the average.
For hard cutoff, once you surpass that time limit your solve will be stopped.

 

[SpicyOranges]

For hard cutoff, once you surpass that time limit your solve will be stopped.

To me this used to seem like a mean thing to do, but now I understand that some people will take forever and a half to finish a solve.

 

[Kit Clement]

Reminder: Registration closes tomorrow night at 8PM EST. Please be sure to register if you plan on going, as walk-ins will not be accepted on the day of the competition.

skewb: To honestly just make the soft cutoff so I can finish the average.. haha

 

[RageCuber]

Goals for this comp (3x3 goal is probably not gonna happen)
2x2 - 5 or 6 avg. (if my dayan comes in time lol)
3x3 - sub-19 avg. 15 or less single
4x4 - first solve under 1:40, after that all I want is no pops/explosions
skewb - sub 20 avg, I really don't have high expectations for skewb so i will be happy with what I get
pyra - 10 or 11 sec avg
3x3 OH - make the soft cut-off so I can finish avg
