SpeedSolving Forum Competitions Association (SFCA)

[gsingh]

Been wanting to do this for a while.

The SFCA is made up of people that oversee forum comps.

Google Drive: Sign-in

Access Google Drive with a Google account (for personal use) or Google Workspace account (for business use).

The SFCA will basically be a wca for the forums, with most of the same features.
The team:
Delegates:

Competitor Profiles:

Competition Managers:

Organizers can pm a "delegate" who can help them. There will be 6 delegates (no more than 2/comp) and max. 5 organizers (excluding delegates)/comp.

If you are organizing a comp, or have one that hasn't taken place yet, pls pm both of the comp managers. (@gsingh and @baseballjello67)
We will give you a comp website.

Cheers,

Isn't there a July competition that some of you were running that you should focus on completing first?

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

Do the moderators not exist anymore?

What penalty will there be for people that think this is silly and decide to ignore you?

nothing at all. the comp just wont be listed on the site and the times wont be either

I want to say that once the results are finalized, the organizers can PM @Luke Solves Cubes , @baseballjello67 , and @gsingh for the results to be posted on the competitor profiles and just PM @Timona and @Garf to post the results.

ya know, if you're gonna try to do something like this, maybe include actual forum mods/admins lmao

I don't trust any of these people for some reason

i thought about that, but decided against it, since the admins have never really had anything to do with the unofficial forum comps before

 

[OreKehStrah]

agreed, as it feels like a group of kids trying to feel special or have some kind of power lmao. There's no real reason for it anyway

I agree with @OreKehStrah, I think that one of the moderators/admin should be a competition manager.
There is already a forums competition. But I think this might be a fun idea.
Why not ask @pjk or @Mike Hughey to be a third manager? They can keep a close eye once in a while and maybe correct any errors that can occur. Mike and pjk are the oldest moderators, with pjk being the oldest. I think it would make sense to ask them for advice for being a manager of a competition.

we just wanted to have the forum comps be a bit more organized, but if you think its stupid, then completely ignore this thread.

this could work, having more official power on the forums, while not giving the admins full control

I believe this isn't the best way to phrase this idea.
I wouldn't say power, just more guidance. Technically y'all (kinda including me, kinda not because I am giving the idea) are trying to make this competition seem better than the official Speedsolving forum competition. However, I believe this competition organization only focuses on WCA events, ss focuses on wca+more. If we added more events and threw in an admin personal, we could make this more legit and therefore more inviting.
I don't like saying this, but you have a record of cheating, so speaking for the sake of us isn't the smartest move in my opinion...
Edit: I take that back about all WCA for SFCA, but it seems like it is more biased towards the wca events that already exist...

not only wca events, any event or twisty puzzle
and yea, when i try to do something like this i do get a lot more hate then a more trusted member would. i have caused some major arguments on this forum for absolutely, because ppl tend to hold a grudge against me, which i get. but if you dont like something i do (not saying this to @Garf but to a lot of other ppl), just tell me what im doing wrong without acting like you're gonna die if i dont change something.
ill shut this down (unless the rest of the team would like to continue), because i dont want to start another major forum argument.

 

[OreKehStrah]

Just to clarify, I like the idea of some sort of system to keep track of various online comps that happen on the forums. I think that would be pretty neat.
However, I think an effort should be made to at least ask some of the SSF staff for input/guidance such that it can be a more officiated and organized group vs just a bunch of random kids going “hey we wanna be in charge of forum comps.”
From a normal persons perspective, there’s no difference between if you declare yourself to be the organization leader or myself or some random person.

Interesting idea, good luck to all the people who are volunteering for roles.

SFCA sounds cool.
