Speedsolving.com’s first ever hybrid competition! Submit R1 Teams! 16 person Knockout Team Competition // 16/16 competitors

[Caleb Valenzuela]

Inspired by @bldcuber314 and @CubeLite ‘s team forum comp and @Thomas.Caleb’s knockout competitions i have combined both into one! Here’s how it works:
16 people will form teams of two (randomly selected by me) and will go against other teams. That makes 16 teams. Each team MUST create a group chat to decide who will represent each event for their team. The events are 3x3 and 2x2.
Whoever team has the faster time wins. Times are tallied by combining 3x3 and 2x2 average of 5 results, eg. 8 seconds + 4 seconds= 12 seconds.
Registration will not end until 16 people are reached. After registration, people are STRICTLY not allowed to join unless one of your teammates are not competing.
Rounds work as so:

Round 1: 16 people (total) and 8 people per side.
Round 2: 8 people (total) and 4 people per side.
Finals: 4 people (total) and 2 people aka 1 team as the champion.

Inspired by @bldcuber314’s team forum comp and @Thomas.Caleb’s knockout competitions, i have combined both into one! Here’s how it works:
32 people will form teams of two (randomly selected by me) and will go against other teams. That makes 16 teams. Each team MUST create a group chat to decide who will represent each event for their team. The events are 3x3 and 2x2.
Whoever team has the faster time wins. Times are tallied by combining 3x3 and 2x2 average of 5 results, eg. 8 seconds + 4 seconds= 12 seconds.
Registration will not end until 32 people are reached. After registration, people are STRICTLY not allowed to join unless one of your teammates are not competing.
Rounds work as so:
Round 1: 32 people (total) and 16 people per side.
Round 2: 16 people (total) and 8 people per side.
Semi-finals: 8 people (total) and 4 people per side.
Finals: 4 people (total) and 2 people aka 1 team as the champion.

In

 

[CAPTAINVALPO96]

I’m in! Quick question, do we have the same partner the whole time or do we randomly draw new ones after each round?

 

[pTr]

I'm happy to join, but kinda suck, =]

 

[Spartacus]

I'll join. Quick question, if I'm not very good then that means I wouldn't be chosen so what's the point in registering?

 

[CAPTAINVALPO96]

He said he would randomize teams.

I’m In

Sorry I mean in the group chat when you choose who will represent your team.

 

[CAPTAINVALPO96]

I don’t remember anything about representation

 

[Spartacus]

Each team MUST create a group chat to decide who will represent each event for their team.
Right there

Ah, so that’s basically… well let’s say we are a team, you and I. We would create a group chat to decide whether you would do 2x2 and I’d do 3x3, or you’d do 3x3 and I’d do 2x2. Get it?

 

[Spartacus]

yes but there are more than just 2 people. I'm wondering if the whole team get's to submit or just two people

 

[CAPTAINVALPO96]

32 people will form teams of two

This is how it works. It later explains that these teams will go head to head

 

[Spartacus]

wow did not see that. thanks

 

[Sub20Soon]

Can I compete if i don't have a 2x2 ?
