This is a rehash of a thing I tried almost 2 years ago on here, which fell into a heap due to my own stupidity and laziness. Recently I began thinking about this and how I could make it better, which motivated me to pick up a cube again for the first time in 6 months.

BASIC CONCEPT TLDR:
  • Similar to a standard LMS (last man standing) comp, with the worst person/s being eliminated each round.
  • However, if you perform well in a round, your average will be handicapped, and if you perform bad, your average will be given a benefit.
  • The benefit will take the form of the following: the nth best people will have their worst three solves averaged, the nth worst people will have their best three solves averaged (depending on the round specifics).
  • Each round you will complete 5-7 solves, depending on the nature of the round (3-5 for larger events).
  • Strategy is useful; do you go well and be safe but have next round handicap, or do worse and be safe next round? This gets more and more important later on.
  • You will know your place in the previous round, but not next round's handicap, making strategic prediction hard.
  • NO TIME EXTENSIONS!!!
You will have a week to post results, failure to do so gets you gone.

Events:
  • NxN 2-7
  • OH
  • 3bld
  • Pyra
  • Skewb
  • Mega
  • Sq1
  • Clock
  • Mirror
  • + whatever you suggest that is approved.
