A Montreal competitions would be cool, I know that some people are waiting for one. Nova Scotia is too far and Toronto is too far too..
Dude... have you checked the WCA website? lol they had 2 competitions in Montreal last year and one in Ottawa which is 2 hours away (Ottawa one is Called "National Capital Region"). I notice you've been on these forums since February of last year, all 3 of these comps were after this date XD. It's more than likely they will hold another one this spring or summer.
No, they don't want to do it because they said that there is less people than Toronto...(I think it is Dave that said that from CanadianCubing)
I cannot go farther than Ottawa. This year I can only go to 1 competition, which is Ottawa. So that's why I am asking for a Montreal competition.

Dave never said that he didn't want to do one in Montreal. All he said is that Toronto has more competitions because they get around 100 competitors each time. As far as I know, he is working on trying to one organized. It does take quite a bit of work, especially when it's in a different province than you live. Don't worry, there will be one there eventually!
I hope that what you say is true, because in january/february, on the facebook page CanadianCubing said that they are gonna do a Quebec and a Ontario competition, which was not the case - There was 2 Ontario comps and 0 Quebec comps.

Micah knows what he's talking about, he's a delegate too. And they can't organize all of the competitions at the same time. You'll probably see the Quebec competition happening in may or something.

Yes, I can understand why 2 Ontario competition announcements like that may seem a little strange. They got a good deal if he booked the same venue 4 times in 1 year I believe. As for the Quebec competition, he's certainly working on getting one organized, I assume it's taking longer to work out the details than he had anticipated.
I would guarantee any specific month, but I would be quite surprised if there wasn't a Quebec competition at all this year.

1 week left until the comp! I really have to get better at CLL recognition for sune/antisunes.
Still 35 competitors. There still may be a few last minute registers though. I noticed there's hardly anyone registered for megaminx so I might change and sign up, but I'm already in so many things already so I'll see XD.
whats the cut-off time anyway? I don't know an actual method yet from the internet, I just solve all but one layer, use certain 3x3 OLLs to get to the PLL stage, use T-perms to swap 3 edges until they're all solved and then use commutators and E perms for the corners. Takes me 4-6 minutes.

1 week left!! For Megaminx, we will have fairly tight cutoffs (simply because with the number of competitors we have, I don't want to waste too much time on this event since only a few people are competing). Everyone will get 2 solves, and those who get at least one single under 3 minutes or so (cutoffs haven't been finalized) will be allowed to finish the average of 5.

Oh ok. I decided not to anyway because I don't want to be busy all of the time since my friend is coming too XD
Speaking of that.... erm.... so I registered online for him since he was sure on how to do it and all, and he wanted to compete in 3BLD and 3x3x3, but I accidentally registered him for 3x3x3 one handed. He wants me to remove it since he's bad at LL cases one handed, but I'm not sure how to remove it.

When you registered him for the competition, you would have gotten a confirmation email. There are links to change or modify your registration details in that email!

Oh ok. I'll tell him that because he's the one who knows his email password XD thanks.

I seen the schedule and noticed we only have a half hour for lunch. The Canadian cubing webpage doesn't say anything about places to eat though. I noticed there's a food court in the building but are non-students even able to eat there? Or should we just bring a lunch there or something?

Yup, there should be lots of options close by! I'm entirely sure which restaurants will be open on-campus (I've never actually been there before myself), but there will be a few staff members from DAL on-site at the competition, so they would be good people to ask when you get there Saturday morning.

Ok thanks. I think we're just going to bring a bunch of our own food in case we can't find a restaurant or anything. I think I checked the student union page on the Dalhousie site and there's a Tim hortons.
