I think my dad took pre-comp training to new extremes today.

My practice: F2L Ao12s, PLL drills, BLD crosses, etc.

His practice: Taking me to the center of the high street at the height of the day and forcing me to solve my cube there.
The reason he gave for doing that is to 'to see if I can solve under pressure'.

Just wanna say.. your dad sounds like a LAD.

This. I usually aim for 3, and just about made it in Euro's. Ideally I'd like 3 in every comp. But I would be disappointed if I don't get at least 1.

Are you aiming for 1 or 2 PB's by any chance?

 

[BillyRain]

I pre-registered a couple of days ago but I haven't had an email requesting payment or anything. Is this normal? or am i too late to enter?

As is stated on the WCA page:

"There is a competitor limit of 100. The registration fee is £15, which must be paid before your registration is confirmed. Please see the website for details of how to do so."

If you then follow link to said website you can find the paypal link to make payment.

Then, as previously promised.. your registration will be approved

An email reminding people to pay was sent out a few days ago (presumably just before you registered). You can still pay via the website. If you want to pay when you arrive, we may charge more for the hassle

 

[confusedcuber]

ah ok sorry guys paid now.

I did see go to the website before but it said "Once you have received an e-mail confirming you have a place, click the PayPal link below and pay the fee of £15" so I assumed i had to wait for the email and never scrolled down to see the paypal thing >_<.

Anyway see ya there.

Goal(since this seems to be the done thing):

3x3: average: sub 40
single: sub 30

Thanks. I looked on the website for anything that tells you to wait for an email, but I can't find it. I assume you misread something. It's unfortunate you missed the reminder email too
No problem for us to include you now though, you're absolutely fine to attend.

Sorry to break it to you guys, but I won't be able to make it. Not that I'd signed up or anything, but I'd told people that there was a 10% chance that I'd be there.

Oooops. One slipped through the net. I let my guard down at the last minute.

Don't worry, the comp's not actually till next weekend - you can make it then, right?

Lol.

Inside jokes FTW

 

[Hypocrism]

Is it too late to register?
I'm looking at trains and my summer budget and thinking there's a possibility I can come to this

 

[~Adam~]

Not too late to register. It would be great to have you.

Well, he's the sort of person who gets quite vocal when Door-to-door salespeople come round our house.

He's worse when God Squad or Jehova's Witnesses come. In fact, they only visited us once about 3 years ago and haven't come back since.
Wonder why.
