    CubingUSA Regional Championships

    The question is: What SHOULD regional champions represent? Keep in mind that it has to be something we can actually build rules around and enforce. Note that, unlike the case with national citizenship, there is no simple concept of state-level "citizenship". Residency is the only way to...

    US Nationals 2015 -- July 31 - August 2, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

    Hey so for people who were there live for finals: We experimented this year with projecting live standings from Cubecomps between each pair of finalists, so you'd have a sense of what the time to beat was. How did you feel about that? Any thoughts?

    Here's a rectangularized version of my 360° pano of Finals. (Click to get a draggable panorama; if on mobile, open link in G+ app to get drag controls.*) * Seems in the G+ app on Android, at least, you can tape the compass icon to get accelerometer-based panning; it'll be like you're there!
