[Interest] Idea: Speedcubing

Postby Sierra Grand » Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:49 am

So I was thinking for a different thing to go in NS Sports and I don't know how but I came up with Speedcubing
this is a fairly popular sport IRL so I wonder if it would fit here.
It's basically solve a Rubik's cube in the fastest time possible Other types of cubes/shapes as a puzzle count

I don't even know how this would be scored or else so this is just an idea

We usually prefer real sports.

Just for asking: How would you scorinate it?

I would say as a mind sport it's probably acceptable in NS Sports on a par with chess.

What is the primary way of judging competitions in real life? By time, or by mistakes, or what? If it's by time it won't be hard at all to write a simple xkoranate file.

Time, DNF when you don't finish doesn't count.

You could use a racing scorinator to generate times.

Depend on what you use to generate the times, it might give you DNFs or it might not. If you're using a scorinator that doesn't generate DNFs automatically, you can set a maximum time and assign a DNF to anyone who goes over the time limit.

Good Idea, thanks
