Newark Winter 2009

[Swordsman Kirby]

There should be competitions in NJ when I'm actually there.

But really, if like 80% of people can sit at a table, that would be 1000 times more awesome than no tables at all.

How many people fit at a table?

 

[waffle=ijm]

yay I preregistered already.

How many people fit at a table?

6-8 people if you force them to sit next to people they don't know

Really depends how big the tables are. I like those round tables we had like the ones at Armonk, though...so like 6-8 people, yeah.

Round tables take up more space per person though...
A rectangular table with the same perimeter (same number of people can use) as a circular table has less area.

Bob, if you could arrange for some kind of fractal table with an infinite perimeter in a finite area, that would be great.

I'd say 10 people could fit at the kind of tables you had at Newark without too much discomfort.

This is my proposal. The seating area consists of 150 seats or so.

Feedback?

good layout. how about one more open table below the computer and above the one table?

also...anyone willing to sell me any of the following

stackmat timer (any will do so that includes glow in the dark ones [used])
megaminx (again any minx will do [used])
sq-1 (preferably not one of the $1 or crappy ones)
pyraminx (as long as its not that broken)
master magic (or enough tiles to make one)

grrr. I may have preregistered but my chances of going just went down to 60%

The judging stations.

 

[jcuber]

I know this should probably be in the buy/sell/trade section, but since it only pertains to those coming, is anyone willing to sell me:

Pyraminx (used if possible)-white or black
Megaminx (used if possible)-white or black
ES 4x4 (new if possible, one of the screws on mine won't adjust and I don't want to have to replace the core)-black preferrably
Type D DIY (used or new)-black or white preferrably

I don't have that much money so for me used is perferrable because of price.

 

[puzzlemaster]

i think that it looks amazing i'm probably gonna go and do badly as god intended haha but that's ok...i love the experience

 

[Bob]

** Update **

It appears as if we will not be able to have so many tables for competitors to hang out as I would like. There are nearly 60 competitors pre-registered and the competition is more than one month away. (In comparison, there were less than 40 total competitors preregistered for Newark Open 2008 but 64 competed). I will do what I can, but expect mostly seats and fewer tables so that no one has to stand.

 

[James Kobel]

It's okay. Just get a bunch of chairs. BTW I'm going.

 

[Bob]

I know. You're also judging. I added you to the judging schedule.

 

[James Kobel]

Am I only judging certain events or all of them?

 

[shoot1510]
