Sail Challenge

 

Tournament-style racing event where contestants first get five minutes to customize their cube before racing head-to-head. Keep your opponent's cubes as you advance through the bracket. Winner takes all!

 

The top 16 competitors expressing interest in the event will be invited to take part in a head-to-head competition with QiYi Sail 3x3s. Each competitor will receive one unlubed Sail and will have five minutes to prepare it using materials provided (includes lubricants and screwdrivers). After the five minutes run, all competitors must begin assembling their cubes immediately. Competitors will not be permitted to adjust their cubes after final assembly.

 

Once all the cubes are finished, the competitors will be entered into a bracket for head-to-head racing. Competitors will be responsible for scrambling the opponent’s puzzle(s). Inspection will be limited to 15 seconds.

 

First round

Competitors will race in a best of 1 format. The winner takes the loser’s Sail.

 

Second round

Competitors will race in a best of 1 format using both the cubes they have on hand in a relay fashion. The winner takes both of the loser’s Sails.

 

Third round

Competitors will race in a best of 1 format using the four cubes they have on hand in a relay fashion. The winner takes the loser’s Sails.

 

Final round

Competitors will race in a best of 1 format using the eight cubes they have on hand in a relay fashion. The winner takes the loser’s Sails, leaving one winner with all 16 Sails.

 

The top placer of the Sail Challenge can keep all 16 Sails, as well as a $50 gift card to TheCubicle.us.
