CubingUSA Nationals 2017 - Fort Wayne, Indiana (July 7-9)

[obelisk477]

I am a fairly newer cuber, started back in October or so, and I have only been to one competition. It was really fun, even though the only events I did were 2x2 and 3x3, and so I looked at the U.S Nationals page for 2017. I made the cut-off times for 3x3 and 2x2, but I didn't make any others (because I didn't try any). I was just wanting to ask if it would be a good idea for me to sign up for nationals, considering I would only be able to do 2 events. I know that may sound like a stupid question, but I figured they probably want people to participate in more events than just two, and so I would be taking up a spot that could've gone to someone more advanced than I am. Is Nats for anyone or just dedicated people?

Also, if you register for only the two events, and manage to compete and get qualifying times in later competitions in other events, you can modify your registration and get into more events.

To answer your other question, I'm starting to get the feeling that registration is going to get very close to not filling up. Anybody good enough will have had plenty of time to register, so don't worry about taking up someone else's spot

I am driving to Nationals from Port Huron, MI.
I am looking for anyone that would be interested in carpooling with me, or sharing a hotel room when in Fort Wayne. I am thinking about just booking a room now and hoping someone will be willing to room with me and help pay for some of the costs.

I see the competition is full now. I'm looking forward to attending my first competition in 2 years!

 

[weatherman223]

Can't go, too far away and I am not taking 3 flights, nor driving 2 days to Indiana.

Also, it's already full anyway, lol.

Praying for a more convenient location, like Denver, haha

Good luck to all that entered!

You would think so. If they won't, I will. You heard it hear people who wanted it steamed.
