Music City Winter 2016 - January 2, 2016

Last night I had the oddest dream where I was at this competition and the room it was in was super small and it had like 5 tables and 2 or 3 solving stations... and then I realized that not only had I forgotten my computer but I had also forgotten my cubes... it was horrible xD

I had a dream about my first comp where I had to text a phone number to register but I didn't have a phone...
I think I need my brain checked out :P
 
Yeah, if no one can sell you one then come to me. You should be able to tell what I look like from my profile pic and WCA pic. :P

I will be able to find you in 150 seconds after arriving if I get there after you do. Just watch.

By the way I will be wearing a black shirt that has an "eat, sleep, cube" thing on it

Okay, I'll watch the door and start a 5x5 solve when you get in. If you find me before I solve it, I win. And vice versa, if you get there first.
 
What's the status on the tentative events?

I think you are confused on what that means in the context of cubing. Here's how tentative events work:

Sometimes competitions get behind schedule. The might have a schedule like this...

3x3 R1
2x2 R1
Pyraminx
4x4
3x3 R2
2x2 R2
7x7
2x2 Final
3x3 Final

(That schedule would probably be fine, but I'm using it as an example)

An organizer may be worried that they would get behind schedule, so they change it:

3x3 R1
2x2 R1
Pyraminx
4x4
3x3 R2
2x2 R2
2x2 Final
3x3 Final

That schedule would be more likely to work in the time of the competition. However, 7x7 was removed. Instead, tentative events can be held if and only if the competition is ahead of schedule at the time of the event. So, the competition's schedule would be:

3x3 R1
2x2 R1
Pyraminx
4x4
3x3 R2
2x2 R2
7x7: Tentative
2x2 Final
3x3 Final

So to answer your question, you have to wait until the day of the competition to tell. Personally I'm skeptical that they will fit tentative events with all of the rounds of big cubes, but that's hard to say. There are too many variables to tell ahead of time.
