Newark Winter 2009

Bob can you more tables available??

Other than the competition stations and the judges tables there was only 1 other table that all the "fast kids" took

How many extra tables should I request? Extra tables mean less seats...and last time we ran out of seats.

considering that there might be less people lets say 30-45 people compared to the 60 something people there last time. I'd say another 2-4 will suffice.

It's at the Newark Public library, right?

 

[Bob]

Thundercats are GO!

I might be able to go, as long as there's Pyraminx for me to win and the 4x4 cut-off time is not 1:15 haha.

 

[jcuber]

What are the cut-off times going to be for every event, anyway?

 

[PatrickJameson]

I'll have to see if I can make it. Most likely I can.

Yea, more tables would be great. 2 tables are just not enough. If its the same venue we should make use of the space behind the registration table and put the extra tables there.

That heavily depends on whether or not my interests change. If I get more interested in pyraminx, I'll be able to master my method and average sub-6 by then.
If my interests stay the same, I'll sub-8.
If I lose interest in it as expected, I'll be averaging around 11.

Hopefully . I'll be happy with any sub-WR time though...

That blows...


EDIT- BOB~can you also post up the results on a wall or something? so people won't leave when they won something and didn't know so they just left expecting nothing (like me )

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

More tables, please!

 

[Kian]

Screw tables, let's have a real man's competition. No chairs either. And 20 push ups in between each solve!

Only 20?

(too short)

 

[Kian]

Good call Patrick, what was I thinking? 20 ONE HAND push ups.

 

[masterofthebass]

I'll probably come if there's 5x5. Especially if I fail at 5x5 this weekend. I won't come if there isn't at least 1 chair for me though... And, I can't do push-ups.

 

[Bob]

well considering Ilkyoo scheduled 1 hour for 6 people to do 4x4, 1:15 for 6 people to do 5x5, and 45 minutes for 4 people to do BLD, I think we might have time for 5x5 finals if we need them.


As for this comp, I will be there, pending transportation(as always).
