I think you'll have no problem making the cutoff. I doubt that you'd be able to judge his 6x6 though. IDK who the delegate is, but they'll probabl want to judge it themselves since it could potentially record breaking.

Nah it's pretty easy to judge a specific person at a local comp like this. All you gotta do is be a judge at one of the two middle tables.

Oh, ok cool then.

I don't have anything you want as a trade (Want a pillowed V-cube with pealing stickers? Or maybe a Rubik's brand with a 4 shades of gray a silver reflective side and a black side? plus it has a sticker missing just for you!) I'll trade those for it! that's two expensive (and crap) puzzle's for 1 (the v-cube was $25 :confused I may even throw in my SS 3x3 (don't mind the missing red cap or the fact that it's not even a aurora or wind) that's like $40 bucks of puzzles to the $5! Is it sad that the SS was my back up? I don't think it would be comp legal any way. The v-cube would tho! What do you say? I'll think about buying (but I will trade it for what I said )

I'll give rocky 5 bucks for it and you can have it haha. No biggie. Consider it good will towards joining the community here in KC.

Deal! Really? Thanks!

Lol, I am fine with that. You rock man!

Haha yea it's no problem. You guys have already given me well more than five Bucks of knowledge. All I ask is that you let me test some of your bigger cubes before I buy one for speed cubing so I can make an educAted decision rocky.

Ok. I'll bring 2x2-7x7, pyra, mega and some more 3x3s.

So is there any point in showing up to the Lawrence comp if you don't plan on competing? just to hang out with people between rounds or whatever?

Yes, even if you don't complete its still fun to hang out. But I *highly* suggests you compete. You will look back at it one day and be bummed that you didn't. You might even be bummed the day of.

No, I'm saying you still should compete. We mostly just hang out anyway, because it's a lot of waiting for your name to be called. Chris is right, you'll regret not going.

I am going to be the old guy with the taped nipples that they have to wait to tear down the course until he finishes. He finally gets to the finish line and has a heart attack on the spot and they have to call an ambulance. Everyone is thinking, "why did this guy even try the first place finisher had 1/4 his time."

^That's me

As long as you can solve the 3x3 in under 10 minutes, you should compete.

I think I can handle 10 minutes haha.

Your PBs don't seem to suggest that you're very slow. I would compete.

You don't have to worry about holding up the competition. With minute solves you'll be done with your average in 15 minutes max depending on how fast they scramble. There are five tables and 3x3 will last more than an hour anyway.

You can more than safely compete, it's definitely worth it! I didn't compete until averaging 13ish and I really regret it sometimes.

A lot of my PB's were done with an old method that I am trying to break myself away from. I am now going to Fridrich F2L intuitive which makes my times range from 55 - 90 seconds.

at those times if you do half an hour of practice a day you should be down to 50 consistently and probably faster in no time. I was setting PB's every 2 days at that point
