Newark Head to Head

[ianography]

I'll come, it looks like it would be a lot of fun (and it would be convenient for me to come since it would only take like 20 minutes). But I wish there were maybe a few more or different events.

 

[collinbxyz]

Pretty close to me.

Spoiler

(2 hours)

I might be able to make it.

 

[timspurfan]

Almost positive I'll be there! Not entirely sure about what I think about the 3rd round qualification depending on one solve, but I'm psyched. Guess I'll practice some clock.

 

[MEn]

This ALSO has two rounds of magic?

You guys are spoiling me!

This competition has the strangest schedule with the strangest events.

I'll definitely be there.

Just a reminder, we have quite a number of people registered but not paid. you're only considered registered after payment is received, and the cost is whatever bracket you're in at the time you pay, not just register. :/ earlier is better!

Sorry guys, we just need to buy more equipment, and hopefully can have enough for some more before some of the upcoming competitions. so that's part of the reason why we're doing it this way.

Another bump for this in the hopes that people will pay.


How will the head-to-head round be done, really?
I'm curious as to the organization here.

Will you ask each competitor to start inspecting at the same time, and to use the full inspection time?
How will the bracket system work?

It will kind of be like a 3-2-1-Go sort of thing.

You should do it no inspection. Could be more interesting (give the not-fastest people more of a chance), perhaps.

Well it would probably hinder the fastest cuber that will be there from picking a nice cross, so you may be on to something.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, we could only do this for the round of 16, 8, 4, and 2. Our first solve will be official and that best of 1 will determine the official final round.

 

[timspurfan]

Everyone should put in an extra dollar and the winner should get a little prize... I'm thinking there should be some inspection probably but I'm fine with whatever (sub10 avg coming)

 

[asense0fhope]

REMINDER - the cost of registration goes up on February 15th!! This means in order to pay the lowest price possible, people should sign up and PAY by Midnight! February 14th is the last day to pay for the current rate!

 

[AustinReed]

I might go. We'll see.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

There is a 4.6% chance I will attend this competition.

 

[AustinReed]

^ Oddly specific much?

 

[bigbee99]

I just paid for my registration, a day late for the lowest rate, but whatever.

are you going to be selling cubes there?

I have to leave by like 1:15pm. Could I possibly rush through my pyraminx solves, right when we start.

Pyra is scheduled for 1:00-1:45, but I know how competitions usually run a little behind schedule.

Sure that shouldn't be a problem. Just remind us that morning, and probably a little before you leave so we can make sure it gets done.

 

[supercuber86]

I'm going! Just to make it clear, so as long as I get one of the top 32 averages I make it to the second round? so if i got a 40 s second solve, which I wouldnt, I could still make it?
