Ok, I added way more time to 7x7. Right when you said it I realized that 1:10 would be like impossible for such a big event. We could also do a competitor limit maybe.
Yeah, I have no idea what to expect for the turnout either. I don't think there will be as many as Lawrence spring for a couple reasons: 1. We're obviously new organizers, and a comp has never been done in Overland Park/Olathe 2. There won't be as many celebrity cubers I doubt.
3. A couple weeks after Nationals/Worlds My guess is 80 competitors.
Yeah, Dan had the dates August 15 and 22nd in mind. We have 2 possible venues in Olathe, one in Overland Park and one in Independence, but I think the Independence one is least likely.
That's what I'm afraid of. I am thinking that we'll definitely be willing to cut 7x7. I think that it would be cool since 7x7 is the only cubing one left that hasn't been done recently, but it could be a very big hassle. If we need to cut it we could maybe do clock since all the Minnesota people requested it for Lawrence.
I still need to talk to Dan more about it because he hasn't seen the schedule yet. I don't really want to go much later than 6 though although it's an option.
I think that the first part of the comp before lunch could gain some time before 7x7 comes up, I put 7x7 10 minutes after lunch starts and would give people signed up for 7x7 a chance to get food before everyone else and so then if people aren't signed up for it and want to go to lunch they have a lot of time to do so.
It would still be almost 5 months away so this could all easily change.
