NAC 2026 Podium Predictions

[mdcuber9]

As I did for All-Stars last year, here is the podium prediction contest for NAC 2026 this year. You can fill the forms out for as much or as little events you want, but remember that the more things you get right, the more points. Basically it's 3 points for getting 1st place right, 2 for 2nd, and 1 for 3rd. There is a 9 point bonus for getting all three spots right bringing it up to 15 points, and there is a 20 point bonus for getting the time exactly right. Let me know if you have any questions!

And here is the results sheet as predictions come in! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZPbrW3JeCjuw9NNFUiv1YUsPdjwV0_kH0f2zBkL12nY/edit?usp=sharing

Ok, so I'm gonna make the decision to make this the NA podium, not the overall podium. This basically doesn't change anything but OH and Neo Cuares lol so @AJT17 you can change your submission if you want.

That’ll only happen if he doesn’t show up or triple DNFs.

Triple DNFs twice, underperforms 3BLD, and doesn’t preform great in MBLD*

Yo a bit off topic but I love Levi Gibson's WCA pfp

Also what if we think 2 people will tie; do we just put both in 1 place?

I would just put one in first, the other in second, and just put the same time for both

Are there going to be head to head finals in 3x3? If so, should our time guesses be for fastest single? Oh, and should we guess points for multiblind or what?

They’re using the old H2H format
And for multi, you can either guess points or solved/total, I will probably score off points alone since it’s hard to predict how many cubes will be attempted

the amount of memes this rivalry produces is enough to feed generations
