Welcome to the UK comp scene, you two! You'll love it.

I assume you've been informed of the manditory wedgies for first-compers, no? It's a vital part of WCA initiation!

Hahaha, it's compulsory, read regulation 2u):

2u) - All first time competitors must receive a 'wedgie' in the form of a welcome statement to their attainment of competitions.

Off topic but recently I was discussing with other cubers the most common surnames for UK cubers and your name showed up

Isn't that still the most common surname overall in the UK though?

As goals seem to be a thing:

2x2: sub-10 avg, hopefully a sub-8 single
3x3: sub-60 avg, sub-50 single
general: have fun, drink beer, make my first comp one to remember

Registration is now closed, and no more competitors will be accepted, including those on the waiting list. Apologies to all those who couldn't get places and to the rest of you, we look forward to seeing you in August.

aww, ok. I'll just buy one then.

Also, who else is staying at the Travelodge? I know Myachii said he was, but anyone else?

Not sure if Travelodge or Premier Inn, I think the latter tho. It's all booked but I can't remember.

I didn't even know there was a Premier Inn, since it's not listed on UKCA... I haven't actually booked yet, so I might book there instead.

You did say Travelodge earlier in the thread though.

E: Travelodge looks £50 cheaper...

I'm staying there with someone I only know from facebook, not sure if he has an account here.

 

[TDM]

See you there then.


Please can I be removed from 4BLD? I've not practised it and don't want to waste time not getting a success. Thanks.
