North London Open 2016 (UK)

[ronaldm]

OMFG... already hit the 80 limit before I got to register!

On the waiting list now, so hoping for people to drop out xD

 

[Berd]

I'm registered!

Anyone else staying Friday-Monday and wants to split a twin room?

 

[Chris Dueck]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I got really excited about this because I've never been to a competition and it's the first time it's been close enough, I was going to register on the night the registration opened but I was waiting on permission from my parents. I didn't realise it would fill up so fast and I'm now 7th on the waiting list, is there any realistic chance of me getting to go?

Yes, there definitely is a realistic chance that enough people will drop out and you will be able to go. For Manchester, there were about 10 people who dropped out in about a week!

Generally if you are top10 in the waiting list you have a very very high chance of being able to attend, although I can't guarantee it.

 

[Chris Dueck]

Thanks guys, I appreciate it

 

[Selkie]

Yup, this escalated very quickly!

I missed reg last night and am 3rd on the waiting list.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it

Very nice PBs for someone not been to comp, best of luck

 

[Chris Dueck]

Thank you! I've been very lucky though, especially on 3x3, my averages are closer to 15-17 seconds, and more like 5 seconds on 2x2. Been cubing since start of 2015 though so I thought I should probably go to one sooner or later XD

Only 10 mins for 3BLD. I'll need to speed up to get 3 attempts.

Bump, trying to sort this before I forget about it and leave it too late. I assume one of the following:
-People are disorganised not booking a room yet
-People are already organised and booked up
-People think I smell
-People think I'll rant about sq-1 parity in my sleep and don't want to hear about it (understandable).

I'll happily take someone not staying all three nights as I've had to do that before, at least two nights would be good though.

Or that they're only going for 1 day and don't need to stay over

 

[newtonbase]

Or they haven't got an overnight pass from the wife and have to drive there each day.

 

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

Or that they live in or close to London, and it's more cost efficient to travel to and from home than to pay for a hotel.

 

[sub20oneday]

why only 80 srsly should be atleast 100

The venue cannot hold enough people to fit 100 competitors.

 

[BillyRain]

Actually definitely coming to this one. Until I pull out. Not.

 

[Doudou]

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the false hopes, I finally won't be able to make it that weekend. Next time for sure!!

Have fun!

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

Last attempt before spending a lot on a hotel room, anyone else staying at the venue who wants to split a room? Alternatively, anybody local who doesn't mind me sleeping on the floor? Can bribe if necessary.

Hello Chaps, I've been getting back into Speedcubing a bit recently.
This competition would have been ideal but unfortunately I think I'm gonna be away that weekend.
Nevermind, I'll try to make the next one have fun guys!
