Other events for competition

How many scrambles should I put on the weekly competition for multiple blind? I hope you are kidding about this one, but if it gets 10 votes I WILL include it.

For 2x2x2-5x5x5 relay I am assuming you would need 4 scrambles and not 5 * 4 scrambles?

 

[ExoCorsair]

Yes, that is what I had in mind, just one relay.

For multiple BLD, I'd say 5?

I'm not kidding . I just want to practice it a bit and the weekly competition is a good way to force me to practice .
I think 5 should be ok, so it doesn't take too much time.

/edit: we can just take the 5 3x3x3 speedsolving scrambles

 

[AvGalen]

If I was going to give 5 scrambles there would not be much challenge for the top multiple blindfolders to compete. If I were to put 20 scrambles up, that might be a bit intimidating.

I don't think multiple blindfolded will ever get 10 votes so it will probably not be included in the competition. But noone is stopping you from doing the 3x3x3 speedsolving scrambles and posting the results. This way you might be more motivated to practice multiple blindfolded and you can show off your skills at the same time

If 5 scrambles is not enough, just use the OH-scrambles or even the 2x2x2 scrambles.

And if mbf will get 10 votes I will gladly include it in the weekly competition and think of a clever way to award points.

I still need to figure out how many points to award for Magic and Fewest Moves.

This is my proposal:
Magic: 1 point for participating, 3/2/1 point for number 1/2/3
Fewest Moves: 10 points for participating and 10/8/6 points for number 1/2/3.
Another option would be to only give points to the winner (like in blindfolded)

I'll vote for megaminx... Just because I can do it.

 

[AvGalen]

OK, MegaMinx made it and I voted for the 2x2x2-5x5x5 relay AND multiple blind

 

[ExoCorsair]

Vote for Pyraminx because I am getting one soon.

And vote for multi-BLD because I want to see other people's results!

 

[KJiptner]

Here is my vote for the relay and multi BLD

 

[Jack]

I will vote for relay.

What about making cupstacking (or sport stacking, whatever) an event? I mean just since a lot of cubers are into cupstacking since they come with the timer.

 

[Erik]

you have my vote for cupstacking

 

[ExoCorsair]

Vote for cupstacking too!

 

[pjk]

I vote for 10 multi-BLD, 2x2-5x5 relay, speedstacking, and Pryaminx.

 

[edd5190]

I vote for 10 multi-BLD, 2x2-5x5 relay, speedstacking, and Pryaminx.

What's "10 multi-BLD"? Do you mean like 10 cubes BLD?

 

[tim]

Yeah, that's really cool, that so many people voted for multiple bld (i counted 5 votes til now), keep on voting, guys
And i vote for 2x2 - 5x5 rely, too .

 

[AvGalen]

cupstacking???? What's next, juggling????

Well, let's see if this democracy thing really works

 

[pjk]

Haha, that would be great. "Who can juggle 4 balls for the longest time?".

Ed, yes, 10-multi BLD would be 10 scrambles for multi BLD.

On a side note, has anyone ever tried multi BLD for 4x4's or 5x5's? I'd guess Matyas has, but no idea. Sounds like some good fun

I believe chris hardwick may have tried it, when dbeyer and him met up. Not exactly sure though.

Marcus Sthur did a 5x5,4x4, 4x (3x3), 2x2 all blindfolded!

It's either that or complete anarchy Wouldn't want that now, would we?

 

[ExoCorsair]

Yes, let's see this democracy, lol.

I vote for 21-PLLs, one-handed Magic, UFO, 3x3x3 with feet, symmetry solve, with chopsticks, 3x3x3 assembly.

I really hope that none of these make it to the competition for Arnaud's sake, but I would be highly amused for a while if any of them did.
