The Cubing Z-League

[Owen Morrison]

Faz is on a bunch, he just never posts

I wouldn't say that that counts as active.

I wouldn't say that that counts as active.

There are a couple people who get on sometimes but aren't part of the core active members that are faster. Although they should all be in the same league; considering there's only 4 I'd say sub-10 is the top league

We'll see after the qualifying round!

Zain Hello?

 

[I'm A Cuber]

I’m in, I’m Sub-dnf, what league am I in?

 

[Sub1Hour]

It will likely have the main WCA events, although details are a work in progress. I am thinking about whether I should have a combined league with combined points from all events or separate leagues for each events. I'll keep you all posted on the decisions.

If you would like to organize events by a certain league or something then I have a proposal for how they would be organized

1: Small league (2x2, 3x3, Skewb, Pyraminx)
2: Big league (4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7)
3: Side league (Square-1, Megaminx, OH)
4: Mental league (BLD, FMC)

 

[EvanTheCuber]

I would like to participate in 3x3 and 4x4.

 

[ProStar]

If we're holding multiple events I'd like to compete in(event - average):

3x3 - 15
2x2 - 3.5ish
4x4 - 1:10
Megaminx - 2:30
Pyraminx - 5
OH - 25
BLD - 4:00
5x5 - 3:30

Zain Hello?

Updates:

Spend the last week working on a Excel document which will hopefully automate the process. I haven't found a way around collecting the data automatically though, so for now will stick to inputting data manually and the spreadsheet should do the rest - from point allocation to leaderboard placements. Just working with some sample data to make sure it all works and we should be good to go very soon.

If you would like to organize events by a certain league or something then I have a proposal for how they would be organized

1: Small league (2x2, 3x3, Skewb, Pyraminx)
2: Big league (4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7)
3: Side league (Square-1, Megaminx, OH)
4: Mental league (BLD, FMC)

Not a bad idea, although many cubers - such as myself - would be put at an immediate disadvantage of not being able to compete in all events within a single category. Something I may consider for the future though if all the separate leagues become too much to handle.

The Leagues will consist of individual events, as well as an overall league for all event scoring combined.

Cubers can compete in multiple events and will be automatically allocated to the league based on their qualifying time, although it would be best to not compete in the events that you know you will not be doing throughout the league to avoid misplacing a more serious cuber from a potentially higher league.

I will post the scrambles for all the events shortly, and I will give plenty of time (somewhere between 1 - 2 weeks) for people to post their results. Cubers are welcome to post their results here, but to filter them out from the regular discussion, if they could be put in bold or larger text that will be much appreciated. Alternatively, competitors can PM me if that is more convenient for them. Multiple qualifying events may be required if results get too hectic just to confirm the positions of individuals in each league.

Hopefully throughout this event we will see cubers rise through the tiers as they progress in certain events, and perhaps the cult leaders may spot some talented individuals to enter their elite teams. Cubers can specify their cult when posting their times and we may see some interesting trends (I am aware the cult competition is already very heated so keep an eye out for that). As always more details to follow.

Be sure to keep an eye on the Mo V Critic league to see how it progresses as well as viewing a snapshot of what these leagues may look like.

Good Luck,
Speed Cube Critic
