[Erik]

you are being very modest putting yourself not on it

 

[AvGalen]

Maybe he doesn't know that you can vote for yourself

When I asked Mátyás in Poland he was very confident that he would win all blindfolded events. We also discussed improvements on clock (solve it without turning it around) and 5x5x5 (I found out he also uses my method for 5x5x5 edge-pairing, only much more freestyle)

Or he doesn't want to be the favorite (to much pressure).

 

[ExoCorsair]

List finished.

 

[AvGalen]

I am on the list

 

[Harris Chan]

Ha I'm not the most favorite, so I have no pressure ^^ this is gonna be fun

 

[pjk]

I think a poll would be hard, as you can't 'add' options...

so, if someone thinks a person that's not on the list will win, what to do?

You could have an "other-specify below option". Of course for each poll we would have like 15 options which include the top 15 WCA runners right now. I guess just adding this up manually works just as well. However, I think I will make a topic for the 3x3 at least, since $8k or so is on the line to the winner

 

[Ravi]

Anssi for 3x3x3 with feet.

Yeah, that's pretty much the safest prediction ever made. Unless he breaks a toe or something. Or maybe eight toes.

 

[hdskull]

wow, yesterday i visited a blog put up by japanese cubers, a lot of them are REALLY AMAZING, i think japanese will place top 3 in almost all categories.
