Michigan 2015 - Ann Arbor, Michigan | July 10, 11, 12

Since there doesn't seem to be a thread yet for the competition, I thought I should make one.

Michigan 2015 will be held each day from Friday, July 10th, through Sunday, July 12th.

The venue for Friday and almost all of Saturday will be at Palmer Commons (where recent Michigan competitions have been held) on the 4th floor in the Great Lakes Room. After the 3x3 final on Saturday, the first FMC attempt of the second round will be held in the Michigan League nearby. Sunday's events will be held in the Anderson Room of the Michigan Union.

Check out the website for more details on registration, scheduling, and travel.

There is a registration cap of 110 competitors.

Competitors will have to pay a $15.00 deposit via PayPal before their registration is complete to make sure that as many of those 110 competitors as possible will end up attending; this will mostly eliminate the amount of people who register, don't show up, and end up taking away someone else's chance of attending the competition. If there are still spots available, competitors can register at the door, but will only be able to compete in 2x2 and 3x3. Only three spots remain for walk-in registration.

It's very exciting that the organizers were able to put together a three-day competition in Michigan! Although the competition will last throughout the whole weekend, competitors only have to be present on the days of their events.

Thanks a lot to Kit for sacrificing his time and energy to put on another great Michigan competition! Happy cubing!

Hoping to attend, trying to figure out how to get there.

I am going! I am probably selling cubes there. Also, Botchamania be crazy. I should try to make an intro over there. (user intros)

Ross will be attending as well. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy...

Is anyone from driving from Chicago?

Anybody driving from/through Waterloo who will be getting there in time for the first event Friday morning?

Edit: Yay for busing

Going to be busy this weekend, so there's no point in closing registration early -- your deadline is now the end of the day (EST) on Sunday, July 5th.

Looking for a roommate for this, otherwise I will be unable to go. Sorry for the last minute notice, I had plans that fell through.

So UMich is a choice of mine for University

Heh, I average like 23 seconds without abuse. I'll just throw one or two in there if I've already messed up the average. Just to be able to say I did it youknow?


In other news, anybody have a stack mat timer they want to sell me?
