ikr. In January, there were only like 2 people per week signing up, but after about half way through February, I've been getting like 3 people daily.

hey shadow you should edit the OP with a link to the cubing usa site. It would make it a lot easier to to find

Alright, I have a new goal for the competition. ( If I beat the 4:30 6x6 cut-off )

Get a time under 3:40.89 so I can get into the top 100 in the US for 6x6 Single!
Edit: or 3:24.56 so I can get in the top 100 of the continent!

By the way, less then 2 weeks until the competition!! I am so so excited!!

Nice goal! Also, I am 99% sure you'll make the cutoff if your MO100 is 45 seconds less than the cutoff. Also, I just realized that I haven't done 6x6 in like two months because of my sub 2:00 5x5 goal. I bet that I'm still faster from all the 5x5 practice, but I'll do a ton of 6x6 now before comp.

Thanks Rocky! The only reason I am afraid that wont happen is because in competitions, you are a lot more nervous then when you are at home and no one is watching. Although my 1 official solve went better then I normally would get at home.. so I don't know how it will turn out.

I know, but not to the extreme that you don't make the cutoff.

My 3x3 ao100 is .7 or .8 slower than my official single...

With 6x6x6, the fear is a pop. It can happen to the very best.

Very true. I have my fingers crossed. Still unless it's an explosion it can be fixed relatively quickly.

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

Are you going to make the cutoffs for the second round and/or finals of 2x2 and/or 3x3 higher numbers of people if you are ahead of schedule? 20 people for the second round seems kinda small for a competition with >80 people.

Edit 1: I know that it is a larger competition than last year, but because of that there could end up being twice as many judges/scramblers (optimistically) and hopefully there will be more solving stations (I don't really know at all.)

Edit 2: You did. Thank you.

Edit 3: Numbered the edits.

Is there anyone who, when thinking of a 6x6x6 pop, doesn't immediately imagine this?

Yup, that's funny because that's exactly what I was thinking of when you first broight up pops. Also right before I clicked the link I was wondering if it would go that and it did. That's why I said a pop was easy to fix unless it was an explosion haha.

Hey! I haven't been on here in a long time! Close to 100 competitors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's gonna be crazy compared to last comp! Thanks ShadowKiller (or do you prefer Zach or something similar) for making a competition in the KS area in roughly two years, so newer cubers could have fun at the new comp. I can't believe how many people are coming (is it because of Kevin Hays and/or the Minnesota crew?)!!!!!!!!! I will be at the competition, but I need to PRACTICE!!!!! It'll be hard for me on 3x3 because I recently (past two-ish months) became color neutral. Here's my goals for this comp!!!! (I'd like to give a shoutout to Rocky for.... idk, being a good cuber )
3x3: Sub 21-ish average, at least two sub-20 solves
2x2: Sub 7-ish average, at least one sub-5 solve
5x5: Get close to the cut-off
Skewb: Be as lucky as I was at Colorado Springs 2015 (12.?? average after a week of getting the cube, check out my WCA profile <--)
Pyra: 7-ish average, 6-ish single
Mega: Do OK!!!
Other: Watch someone (KH, CO, etc.) get some sort of record.

Thank you everyone for being awesome!

LOL

 

[Psyph3r]

I have to admit that is what I always think about when I think of Pops at all. That and a 14 year old Feliks crawling around on the floor chasing cubies.

Tell me if I am wrong kevin but I don't think his reaction was
