Will do.

The cutoffs!?!

If you do not get below these times in the first two solves you will not be allowed to finish the remaining 3 solves.

3x3 cut is always high.

Hopefully I can come on the Saturday, but I definately can't on the Sunday... I might just pop in for Skewb, win, and leave again! lol

Anyone will be selling a brand new moyu 5 and ss7 at the comp?
Would love to buy them

 

[angham]

Yay I will be there! Hopefully I will actually compete during finals (people might need to remember what happened in Edin last year)

God-tier scrambling/judging on my part happened.
Cant make this one, more comps in leicester during term time pls

How much? Perhaps this won't be the right size for me.

It's not the best 7x7, you can have it for £5 if you like it.

Ooh that's a bargain
Bring it to the competition and let me try it out.

Hi, I'm new to cubing. I'm interested in coming to this event (I live in Oxford so I wont have to travel very far) but I don't really understand how the schedule works. By this I mean that I'm not sure what it means by Average and Hard Cut. I assume it is something to do with the time you have to achieve to move to the next round

The hard cut is the time you have to beat so the solve is counted, if you go over the hard cut time limit, the solve will be stopped and you will receive a DNF (Did Not Finish).

The average cut is the time you have to beat within the first two solves so you can finish the remaining three solves to finish the average. If you do two solves and do not beat the average cut with either of them, your round will finish then.

 

[swimguy]

So, that's five minutes... Even I should be able to make that!

Thanks for the speedy reply, hope to see you there!
