Hi Everyone, Sorry, no final rounds will be allowed on Friday. You go to a competition and if you do final rounds on Friday, it would have to be with...

Hi Everyone, One handed finals will now be mean of 3 as requested by some of the top one-handed competitors. I feel it is appropriate as well. If anyone ...
A cube competition that doesn't allowed for a single mistake is pretty unique. Will you be disqualified by a pop in the final? No matter how good you are, an...
In all "mean" categories where you average all solves, we allow for one pop. So you can have a pop mistake but you can't really have a "solve" mistake....
I believe all mean solves should be changed to median solves. That way, on 3+ solves, you will not be disqualified by a single pop (or more if you do more than...
Popping intentionally is not allowed. The judges are looking out for that and anyone who pops intentionally may have their times disqualified by the judges. ...
Thats just why the median of 5 solves would be greater. 1. It's still just 5 solves. 2. It allows for two DNS without disqualifying the contestant. 3. Every...
All right, I was saying mean of 3 because Chris suggested it. I'll get back to you guys. Please keep commenting. Tyson Mao MSC #631 California Institute of...
Well, since I won't be attending (flying across the atlantic costs too much ;), you don't have to do any changes on my behalf. My point is just that in solving...
Just to let everyone know, I plan also to do the 3x3x3 preliminary rounds on Friday so I can be more efficient during the preliminary rounds on Saturday. I...
I think the one handed avg should include the 2 solves from the first round, discarding the fastest and slowest, and be the avg of the middle three. This will...
I don't think we can mix in solves from different rounds for an average... especially if rounds are separated by so much time and even by a day or so. Tyson...
OH, the friday preliminaries are only there for people who can't make it on saturday. it's an optional substitute to accommodate the PSAT folks. Something...
As Tyson mentioned I did suggest having an average of three rather than a best of (2 or 3) format for the one handed final for future contest. This is actually...
Haha... all right... well, I'm up for it then. We'll see how the time plays out. My suggestion is this: We save Magic for the end. If we run out of time in...
Hi Everyone, I've decided not to do the Fewest Move Competition this time. Perhaps in the future... as you can imagine running the tournament already takes a...
