[TeddyKGB]

This is about a 40 minute drive, how could I possibly pass this up?

 

[KingTim96]

Just a couple questions.
Why 6x6 but no 5x5?
(Out of curiosity) does anyone else attending this competition use roux?
And are there any cutoffs? If so, what are they?

They are on the cubingusa page. There are ones for 4x4, 6x6, OH, and BLD iirc. Check for yourself.

Dude I'm gonna be honest when I say you didn't answer a single question I asked. But maybe i didn't phrase them correctly. I'll try again.

1. Why is there 6x6 Speedsolve but not 5x5 speedsolve?
2. Out of curiosity, does anyone attending this competition use roux for 3x3?
3.(After seeing the cutoffs) what's the difference between a hard cutoff and a soft cutoff?

Short answer: Because organizers do what they want.
Long answer: This was based upon requests from those attending UMich cube club meetings, and what we had time for. Not too much was requested, but we did want to hold 4x4 and 6x6, among other common events. It also has to do with what has been held in recent history - 6x6 was held only at UIUC this year in the midwest, and 5x5 has been held three times this year in the midwest. You can never accomodate everyone's requests in a one day competition.

As for cutoffs, soft cutoffs are the combined final time - you have to be under this time in your first two solves to complete the average. Hard cutoffs are more strict, you have to be under the hard cutoff in each solve or else you are stopped and it is a DNF.

I may go to this competition. We shall see what the weekend looks like for me when it gets closer.

This is true. Indiana 2012 had 15/19 official events and people were still complaining that there wasn't any 5x5.

 

[Coolster01]

Anybody willing to sell a clock? Because I will compete if somebody can... Also, I can compete in all events at worlds if somebody can.

Also, does anybody possibly have my clock I lefty at Hillsdale? It's Lingao.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Should be able to come. Will register when closer. Practicing fmc.

i can sell you one, it won't be very good though.

also will somebody sell me a shenshou pyraminx? Some little **** stole it from me at my last comp.

Sweet, how much would it cost?

I can't sell you a Pyraminx. I didn't steal it, if that narrows things down xD

Assuming I can find it $5. If I cant you can borrow my main clock for the whole comp.

 

[Coolster01]

Sweet! Yeah, that'd be great if I could borrow your main. What is the problem with your non main clock, though? Do the pegs move too easily, or is it just "locky and slow".

Locky and slow. With my main clock it is the fastest clock on earth, but I hold the pegs with my fingers so...

OK. I'll still get it because I really want to compete at everything at worlds. I guess I'll sign up now...

 

[Deleted member 19792]

Signed up Im going to be in an internship at U of M with Tawakkol.

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Hmm. I need to improve my 4x4 times a lot. Going to compete in all except 6x6 and clock. Hopefully I can go.

You must go. I need to meet the next WR holder.
