MultiBLD
Also known as 'multiple blindfolded' solving. The object of this variant is to solve as many cubes blindfolded as possible.
In official WCA multi-blind events the competitor first chooses the number of cubes to be attempted. As per regular blindfold events, the competitor then starts by attempting to memorise the number of cubes chosen. The blindfold is then lowered and the competitor attempts to solve them all. The time taken to both memorise and solve all cubes is recorded.
At the end of the event, competitors are ranked by number of cubes successfully solved. If two or more competitors solved the same number of cubes, then they are ranked by total time taken.
If any cubes were not successfully solved, then for each cube not solved, 1 is deducted from the total number of successfully solved cubes. For example, if an attempt resulted in 4/5 successful solves, then (for the purposes of ranking) the effective number of successful solves is 3 (taking 1 from 4). This would mean the competitor would be ranked in the same group as a solver who managed just 3/3 cubes, using total time taken to distinguish the absolute ranking.
