The execution should be credited to more like 20 people. James and I acted as co-delegates and made sure things moved along. But its success came from the organizing work that was done before we ever set food in the venue.
We had 16 timers in total. James' equipment definitely helped us make...
Kian, I was going to write that you should act on this for us. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I am more of a five star kind of guy. I need chocolates on my pillows, room service, the whole bit. And for the love of Ron, I seriously don't want to have to press my own...
I think I'd quit cubing if I wasn't allowed to have my morning coffee before coming to compete. And as a delegate/organizer, that's the last thing I need to be worried about. "Is the huge slurpee cup Sarah has actually filled with juice or something with caffeine?"
When do you fly out and back? Sounds like it is a short trip for you?
But we haven't planned a thing for the week after worlds still! Chiang Mai or Phuket?
No, you are wrong. I won the event, naturally, but I cannot be declared the US National Champion for the event because I am not American. As such, the title was given to Jim Mertens, who came in second.
Confusing, I know...
For those not subscribed to the twitter account (tisk, tisk), the schedule is posted on the site. The event list is more than likely final. We may drop an event if people don't show, but I doubt we'll add any.
Like i said before, it is going to be pretty relaxed all in all. We'll be there...
You are right, Mike, the wording does give a bit of flexibility. I've spoken with the board about this competition, from before i announced it, to give them full disclosure on what the turn out may be. I didn't want any surprises. While i feel that if we had 11, we could possibly work...
Not quite. The goal wasn't to have 12 people register. We need 12 people to compete. We quite often have people register and not show up. Conversely, we'll have people show up and not register. So things look promising right now with 14 competitors registered. But we need to have at least 12...
That explains a lot. But no, we don't speak French. Well, i can a little bit, but my guess is your English is better than my French. What do you need explained? Perhaps Micael can help here before the competition if you know what you need answered. Here is the link to the french version of the...
The competition won't be cancelled. If we don't get enough people to compete, it may not be official, but the competition itself would still go on. I'm coming with timers, and there better be people who want to cube with me when i show up.
All we need is 12. Teach your parents, siblings...
As a matter of fact, I am driving there. I need to bring the timers and merch, so it is too much to take on a plane. Besides, road trip! I am leaving the Tuesday night and hope to be in Saint John by Thursday evening.
So, needless to say, with me driving so far (remember, i have to go...
Drake, do you happen to know any other cubers in the New Brunswick (or maritimes in general)? We really need to ensure we get enough cubers show up and compete, so anyone to add to the numbers at this point is what we want.
Whereabouts in NB are you located?
Let's not get carried away. I plan on bringing merchandise. But i doubt it will be all. That is a lot of things to cram into my little Golf for a trip out of town for a weekend. I'll bring the more popular items, of course.
If you are looking for something specific, it is best to just let...
Oh, so you were really blaming me this whole time?
Who has the time for that? Just let it ride and wait for complaints. Tim prefers it this way as we get to keep in touch more regularly.
Worried? What did you think was happening? I just up and quit and all the times were never to be...
That's all? That is so 2009.
You will be glad to know it was not without its issues again this past weekend.
Yes, there was a player transaction involved. We sent Louis Cormier to Boston in exchange for Stachu, a first round Draft Pick and Future Considerations.
And lastly, when are...
This really doesn't sound correct to me. I don't know if it is your wording, or if you are having temporary memory loss. The only comp we didn't have 4x4 and 5x5 was at last year's TOSp. We are repeating that this year.
The comp in June will be CubeCentric, and include 4x4-7x7.
