Date: July 12-13, 2014
Venue: University of Michigan (Two different venues for the two days, see the "Travel" tab on the CUSA site for more info)
Address: Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Website: http://www.cubingusa.com/michigan2014/index.php
Organizer: James Hildreth
Delegate: Kit Clement
Events: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 7x7, OH, BLD, FMC (mean), Sq-1, Pyra, Clock, Skewb
Tentative Events: 4BLD, 5BLD, MBLD (one will be chosen based on popularity in registration by June 25th)
FAQs:
1. What's the cost?
The competition will be essentially free of charge. We ask you to pay a $10 deposit via PayPal in order to reserve your spot so that we can make an accurate schedule and ensure that our registration is accurate. We will give your $10 back when you come to the competition, but no refunds for those who do not show up.
2. Why is this competition free, but the one in May not free?
This is a result of good relationships built with the UMich Event Services from the past year. We can now reserve rooms cheaper, but to receive this rate, we cannot charge a registration fee. We went with this option to keep more money in cubers' pockets and less in the university's, but there are still some costs with holding this competition. Thus, if you would like to donate your deposit or a part of it, we would greatly appreciate it, but we will gladly give it back to anyone who wants it back.
3. What restrictions are there on events?
Those looking to do an FMC mean of 3 cannot compete in square-1 - this is a result of attempt 3 running at the same time. You can still do FMC attempts 1 and/or 2 along with square-1. Also, if you are doing FMC and 5x5/7x7, be sure to be on time at 9am Sunday morning, as these events will be running partially alongside the second attempt.
4. How are the big BLD events working?
We have them listed as potential events as a way of collecting votes for the most popular one. We will decide which one to run on Wednesday, June 25th based on which event has the most popular registration. This should allow those doing big BLD to practice that event specifically. If you would like to do some more than others, just register for your favorite big BLD event, and then leave a comment if you would still do other BLD events if they were chosen.
5. Why are we not doing _____?
6x6 - It's been done at Tree Town, Leaf Town, and Holy Toledo the past year, I think we can give this event a rest for a while.
Mega - Going to be done at MMM, was also done at Toronto and Dixon, which covers many of our potential competitors to the east and west. It's also a relatively long event, and frees up time for multiple rounds of other events.
Feet - Done at Toledo, lolfeet.
BigBLD - Going to be chosen by popular vote, so if yours doesn't get picked, blame everyone else.
