What do the divisions do though? Is it just a separate competition
pool? Would people expect prizes for the lower division?
If there were prizes involved, I see the problem of people
"sandbagging." Is that the right use of the term? Someone who
averages 19 would want to compete in the over 20 seconds category,
because he would get killed by the 17 second cubers, but could take a
top position in the lesser category.
So... what's the point of all of this? Just to have a division for the
sake of having a division, or do people actually want to accomplish
something?
One possibility is that we could change the format a little bit.
Everyone competes, the "elite" group goes on into their own bracket
which would then determine the winner of the competition.
The other group would have a chance to compete against each other. The
motivation for this is that the slowest people get more than one chance
to record an average.
