Banana Blindfolded: Standard blindfolded regulations apply. The banana puzzle must be the FanXin Banana 2x2x3, or a functionally identical alternative.
Yes/No TeamBLD: Like standard TeamBLD, competitors will sign up in pairs. Each pair will do two attempts, switching roles inbetween. Rankings will be determined by the best of the two attempts.
Unlike standard TeamBLD, the sighted competitor can only say "yes" and "no". The blindfolded competitor should gain information primarily by asking yes/no questions. However, the sighted competitor may speak outside of answering questions, as long as they do not say anything other than "yes" or "no".
Live results information for unofficial events will be added here at a later date.
