Northeast Championship

[weatherman223]

Colorado Qualifier had 130 competitors as compared to 350...
Also which points did it disprove? I can't figure out any it does.

It’s actually able to host almost all events with a efficient schedule.

CO Qualifier is having around an hour and 10 minute 3x3 round.

Unlike Ne, which is having TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF THREE BY THREE.

They are heavily overestimating times and with more stations, it would go faster.

If your so obsessed with competitior limits, let’s compare this with another regional championships, Western.

Now, Western is a 3 day comp and not a 2 day, but if you look at their schedule, you can see they have a 1:15 3x3 round. Great Lakes IIRC is similar, around 1:30. What I’m saying is that these times are grossly overestimated and they should consider releasing a new schedule and adding at least blind. Come on.

Yep let's scrap a schedule that has hours into it.

It matters how big the venue is and how many timers you can fit in there. Hate to crush your dreams, but blind isn't being added.
Also it is much, much better to overestimate on time and finish and hour early at the end of the day then to underestimate and finish an hour behind.

I mean, I agree with you on most to all points there, but what I’m basically rounding to is that it’s a regional championship. They should have more.

It's the dilemma of every competition. Cutoffs vs # of people vs # of rounds and events. This comp picked to sacrifice events, and I agree. Regionals are something for newer competitors whos (often parents) won't let them travel across the country for this new thing they do. They often will be slower to sign up, and slower in general. Lenient cutoffs and high registration numbers are nice for them.

Ik this thread is a month old but idc. if you go to the website for northeast champs, the events list has clock and bld now. They haven't been added to the events tab, and aren't on the schedule yet, but in the bottom right corner of the home page, they are shown with the other icons.

Indeed, Clock and 3x3 Blindfolded will be added to the schedule.

Yayayayay will more rounds be added as well, like a third of pyra 2x2 skewb oh 4x4, or a second of 6 7 squan or mega?
