Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

When I say Midnight on Thursday I mean the midnight that heralds the very end of thursday.

So for clarity I'll say the tourney submissions close at 11:59pm EST Thursday May 15th

You have the entirety of wednesday and thursday, plus an extra 8.5 hours left in today. Seems okay to me.

You also don't have to do any score-getting of any sort.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Eh, I probably won't catch you, I got really lazy and didn't even make an effort in the final speed rounds. I'll at least go for 2nd.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

aww. I wanted 3rd. Guess i'll have to settle for 4th... or maybe.. 5th :S

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

IMO speed is a killer in these tournaments. Once you fall behind it's easy to get discouraged, and then it all starts to wind down.

As fun as speed is, I am almost tempted to believe that completion on metric of close calls is far more intense. I'm going to see how true this is with my upcoming tourney.

oh snap... upcoming rubix tournament? *creams pants*

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Yeah, it'll be properly run this time, too. I'll probably still name it the second Omnipwn tournament, because last time I tried starting it, I lost wind before I even started. This time around, I'm going to plan things out a lot more carefully before I kick it up. It'll be fun, promise

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

do i get credit for winning 1.5? since i was the only one to submit all games / all mentals...

[MrRubix]

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

Uh, I guess

Yayyy Tass is the winner *confetti*

[OMG its HIM]

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

too late to sign up...

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tourney Two

technically, no. but you have no shot to win... likely mathematically. and definitely realistically.


edit: so, by my calculations... i am 1280 points off of the mental max, including the 10 mentals and the 3 other mental rounds. next closest is Fractal, 1635 off the max + loss of points from mental 9... so another -750 for -2335. i also have 4 1sts and 3 3rds, currently, on the 7 FFR rounds... or -570. For a total of -1850 off the max possible. Not too shabby.


edit2: even if SD submits all 13 mentals and then gets 1st on all 7 FFR rounds... his max possible score is -2492. Which means I'd need to lose over 640 points in addition to him solving everything... and still assuming nobody submits a mental before him.
