MIT Spring 2010

[Tim Reynolds]

The MIT Rubik's Cube Club will be holding its second competition on March 6, 2010, in Cambridge, MA.

3 rounds of 3x3, 2x2, and OH; 2 rounds of pyraminx and 4x4; FMC, and big cubes blind if people want to. The venue is great (in fact I've already booked it for our Fall competition!)

See you there!

 

[Anthony]

Wow. The events list is making me REALLY tempted to go.

Two rounds of pyraminx?

I really hope I can go. This sounds exciting!

 

[Tim Reynolds]

Oh yeah, before someone else points this out:
It's not actually in the spring. It's in the winter. But it's the spring semester, so as far as we're concerned, it's our spring competition.

 

[StachuK1992]

Gah! So tempting...
hmm

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

No 5x5? What a disappointment. Whatever, I'll be there.

 

[roller]

I was so excited to see 'Cambridge' as i live 20mins away from it.

But then i realized it is in United States.
Not in UK

:L

 

[JustinJ]

Whoa! 3 rounds of 2x2 is tempting! I loved the last MIT competition, so we'll have to see

 

[Weston]

Wow. The events list is making me REALLY tempted to go.

Me too. I STILL don't have a good 2x2 average. 3 rounds of 2x2 should help me with that.

TOW + STO is win.

Wow. The events list is making me REALLY tempted to go.

6 rounds of 2x2 in 1 week should help me with that.

If I go, no way I'm staying at residence again. mad expensive.

Whose cubes will Andy borrow instead then?!? ZOMG

 

[Ethan Rosen]

I'll most likely be there, but at this point idk.

 

[Kian]

I'm pretty sure Kyle and I will make this work. Happy to get back up there again after such a well run, fun competition last time!

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

I don't understand the logic of having FMC, 4x4BLD, and 5x5BLD, multiple rounds of 2x2, but not 3x3BLD. >_>

Whatever, the three rounds of OH allows me to finally not suck at it, so that's cool.

 

[Tim Reynolds]

FMC, 4x4 BLD, and 5x5 BLD are easy to run. They really don't affect our time schedule at all. 4x4 BLD and 5x5 BLD are not very popular, so the number of people who want to do them will require little manpower. FMC will require one judge (who doesn't need to know how to do anything) for an hour, regardless of how much interest there is, plus a few minutes of my time after the round ends. Basically, we saw little reason not to offer any of them as they're so easy to run.

We have allotted 1 hour for three rounds of 2x2. That's how long it would probably take to do one round of 3x3 BLD. Unless we were to cut all of 2x2, we wouldn't have time to do 3x3 BLD. Part of our goal in this competition is to include MIT cubers more--most of whom are not very competitive and don't know how to do all the events that are usually run. So we're offering the "easiest" events, so 2x2 had to be included.

That's the logic.

I'm going. I just signed up. It will be my first competition.
