WC2009 2x2 round

[Spitfire97]

Imagine if everyone told you that your favorite event sucked balls and was hated by all. Think on it.

:/

Im sure you know how that feels.

I also agree that 2x2 should have more than 1 round. I'm surprised this wasn't brought up much earlier when the schedule was initially released.

Regardless to what other events have more than one round, 2x2 should have more than one round - for the reasons described by David below:

Just to put this a bit more in perspective:

2696 people have competed in 2x2.
115 people have competed in feet.

269 people are doing 2x2 at WC.
52 people are doing feet at WC.

Only 3x3 has more people registered than 2x2.
4BLD and 5BLD are the only events with less registered competitors than feet, including 360.

2x2 also has the largest waiting list, probably because there is only one round.

Look at the schedule. That has been changed.

Sunday final !

Just to put a side note on this, I don't think we can see the number of competitors as an index of the popularity of the event.

My good 2x2 is broken. I have a crappy one I can at least mess with lol. I'll use one of Rowe's at the competition.

 

[Yes We Can!]

Wow, really nice, that we have 2 rounds now, even though I won't reach the final But I'd love to do so.

I think that might actually be the definition of popularity in this case.

Uh... what else do you propose then?

How about the number of people who are at least as fast as 1.5 times the WR average? That would give a good index of how many people care enough about the event to get reasonably fast at it.

2x2: 49 people
feet: 5 people
