If I'm not mistaken, you could do a best of 1.

you are correct

Wish I could go, but it's too far... that event list is VGJ though.

 

[Acmoorecuber]

I have a question. If I compete in the 3x3 event, do I have to have 2 cubes?

No, just one is fine.

You only need one. I don't really understand why you are asking this.

 

[Kit Clement]

You only need one. I don't really understand why you are asking this.

It's a more common question than you think -- many who haven't seen a competition might think that they need a second cube so it can be scrambled while you're solving the first one.

Oh huh I would never have thought of that...

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

Oh huh I would never have thought of that...

also, there is an optional reg that comps can use that says that competitors have to give their puzzles at registration (although I have never seen/heard of this being used)

 

[Pryge]

Excited to meet a whole new group of people

 

[Noahbdy]

Hey! I originally emailed this question to the organizers but I'll ask it here again because other people might have the same question. How likely is it that y'all will have 3BLD, and around what time would you schedule it for if you do schedule it? Thanks!

Edit: Got a reply! He said if they have less competitors than the competitor limit, they can probably fit it in, and it will take priority over other tentative events. Thank you for replying and thanks so much for setting up another event!

 

[4Chan]

Okay, two things:

The person whom replied to you is male, and some people get upset when you mix their genders up.

Secondly, when you ask for the likelihood, that's something that most organizers can't accurately tell you until the day of the competition. There are so many variables and things that can go awry, that it's really difficult to give an answer.

 

[Noahbdy]

Oh, sorry. I only had the little thumbnail to go by, my bad. And by likelihood I meant "under what conditions would this event take place."

I may or may not have made this mistake and may or may not have this mistake applied to me.
so uh yeah, hype.

 

[JacksonT1999]

I'm probably coming, super excited. Haven't been to a comp since nationals and I've been itching baaad. We NEED like 3 rounds of 5x5 though. Lol jk.

yeah lol obviously we need 4 of course

 

[YouCubing]

YASSSSS just signed up for all events other than BLD. superhype

 

[DanpHan]

I should be there

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

I'm probably coming, and also I think that most people would prefer another round of 2x2 instead of 5x5, but it's up to you. I don't care that much.

Well, Aussie HATES 2x2, but I'd prefer another round of 2x2 so I can actually accomplish something that's not just in Pyra here xD
