I'm hoping that, as I have registered, I just need a few people to not show on the day. Obviously it would be better if people advised in advance that they weren't coming but we know that doesn't always happen.

Oh, I suppose maybe the witing list is the way around that regulation. I get it now.
There should probably be a clarification in the Guidelines for that.

Just finished another timed 3x3 Ao50+ and it's going to be a fun time for milestones:
Sub :15 single: Yeah, it'd be an outlier. Yeah it'd probably have to include some luck. But with number of low :20 and better solves now it's a possibility at any time.
Sub :20 Ao5: I still have a ways to go to be a legit sub 20 threat but I dropped the PB another half second, under 21 now. Just a matter of time before I hit a good spell, get a counting 18, and choke... er...
Sub :25 Ao50: Still a few too many mistakes ending in disaster solves but OLL improvement alone will eventually fix a number of those problems plus the faster solves edging lower.
Sub 3:00 3bld: I'm sure I have it in me on a good day with a good trace.

I was browsing the Hastings comp information and noticed that judging and scrambling has been assigned.
That's cool but I don't remember it at any of my comps before now. How long has the UKCA been doing this?

Jonatan’s Groupify generates that table automatically. He made that for organizers a while ago.

They have been doing that in our area here in the state for awhile now. One of the delegates visited Europe and did a few comps. I guess the organisers used that method when he was there and he liked it.
I think it helps keep the judging stations manned and the comps flow more on time as a result.

I've a feeling it may be the first time they've done it in the UK as previous comps on the WCA site don't have group, judging, scrambling information.

Ours includes runners too. In fact, locally (we have a lot of comps and several talented world class Cubers that come out), they assign judging and running. The keep scrambling for the event “staff”. I guess they figure they can lessen concerns about the scrambles by limiting the people involved.
The scramblers end up being the “whose who” of cubers at an event. Hahahaha

Having used it for a little while, I think it is a useful tool and I'll look forward to getting PB notifications for the people that I'm following. I'm going to start spamming my 2 followers with Pyra notifications. Now down to 6.51 Ao100.
I think the Google Sheet still has some use since it allows us to see other people's times at a glance. Maybe some time in the future cubepb.com will allow us to view multiple people at once (AKA custom rankings).

I'm pretty sure that the judging and scrambling lists have been used in the UK since at least Manchester (February). Possibly earlier.
The groups are a bit more random now too rather than alphabetical. It saves 4 people saying yes when a runner calls out a first name.

As one of your two followers... I'll let you know how the notifications work! LOL

The same in Poland since I've started in January 2014 and I'm sure it was earlier.

It looks like it started at ABHC 2017 so I've only done the UKC 2017 since it was introduced.
Blimey... it's been over 30 weeks since I last competed!

Just posted a 3:40 3BLD in the weekly online competition using M2 edges. Had two DNFs and finished strong. Not a PB, but my first sub-4 in the weekly comp.

Multi-BLD question:
Normally, you get 10mins for each cube up to 60 min total, correct? So there’s no real incentive to “speed”through it. Scores are based upon ration of solved/attempted. Tie in that then goes to faster time.... correct?

Yes, that's true. The only incentive to speed through it is to get that faster time for tiebreaks. Or to make sure you finish, if you happen to be making an attempt that is at the edge of your ability. Like I am right now with 15 or 16 cubes.

I’m thinking of adding MBLD to my events for the upcoming Maryland 2018 comp at the end of June. It may be lame, but I was thinking just to give it a whirl with 2 cubes. If I really get into MBLD, I’ll have to really learn some techniques for organising my various memos... like the room thing I hear about.
The second day of the comp has all events I don’t do (big blinds, fmc). I was thinking it would be a fun way to get involved on the day 2.

Btw, I really like the new updates to the weekly comp page. I’m sure it’s a ton of work, but certainly appreciated.

Oh absolutely you should do that! That gives you plenty of time to really try to memorize them carefully - you can double- or even triple-check your memo to make sure you get it right. A 2/2 multi feels really good - I hope you can get one!
