Syuhei has recently organized some WCA competitions at Kawasaki based on his new idea/concept:
It seems to achieve a level of success. Today's competition also got several newcommers and 1/3 competitors improved their WCA records.
Interesting idea/concept, and I just want to share it here.
- The main purpose is not to determine 1st/2nd/3rd, but to encourage cubers to break their WCA records, and to present workshops on speedcubing.
- Every competitior who breaks (or ties) his/her WCA record gets an award certificate. His/her rank is not a matter.
- One round only. All participants equally get a chance to set their official records.
- Major events only. Want to encourage cubers to improve their times of major events.
- The competition finishes around noon or early afternoon. The rest of the afternoon is spent to a workshop/lecture on speedcubing.
- There were some themes in the workshops. Edge control during F2L, Ortega method, Yau method, BLD introduction, FMC tricks, mind frame, and so on. Syuhei believes that such face-to-face lectures (or hands-on seminars) are cost-effective than tutorials on the website.
