Newark Winter 2009

[DavidWoner]

I should sooo have an official competition at my house during school hours and if a truancy officer shows up, I would just say that if we are solving the rubik's cube as fast as we are, we really don't need to be in school. If he objected to that, I would hand him a scrambled cube and when he couldn't solve it I would say "your not in school".

Stay in school.

It's not like they teach grammar in public schools anymore anyway.

 

[Bob]

Has anyone ever had a competition at their/someone else's house?

Just wondering.

Maybe this summer at my house. We can have a pool party/BBQ. It's a good 5 minutes away from the Newark Public Library.

Jules, you are so sure you will not be present that I can unregister you? I already have time sheets made up and everything. If you're not there, it will mess up the whole day!

yup please unregister me. I will not mess up the day for everyone. I will, however, make the effort to go on the next competition in newark or at bob's house

Okay, I took you off the registration and burned your score cards. The day is saved.

Stopwatches came today! We now have something like 15 stopwatches, so even if the judges walk away with them, Jaclyn won't get TOO mad...

you better hope she doesn't read this bob...

Is the hand holding a cube? It looks like a ball.

Are you kidding me?

Hey Bob,

I just saw how many people are registered for this competition (its crazy how successful it has become), and realized that its going to be hard to fit everything in. With that said, can you please remove me from the 3x3 blind event because I don't want to take up every ones time. Thanks.

Bob, honestly how many people do you think you can fit in your house?

It could be the Bob Invitational

 

[hippofluff]

How many 3x3 rounds will there be? Bob, you said maybe two on the thread but on the newark 2009 homepage it says there will be 3 rounds

 

[Bob]

I'm not sure. I'll make a final decision on that by Friday.

 

[hippofluff]

Ok thanks, will it be posted on the site so I can check in the morning? or may you please post it on here?

 

[Bob]

probably both

 

[Bob]

Last day to pre-register is tomorrow (Thursday). Anyone not registered by then will have to pay steeper registration fees.

 

[Kian]

ninety freaking nine.

wow.

 

[Bob]

one hundred two. (there is one competitor not on the list because he did not want his name displayed)

 

[PatrickJameson]

I'm quite afraid of the number of people. This should be an interesting competition.

All I have to say is, good luck Bob!

 

[waffle=ijm]

wow good thing I'm not going. Too many people

I agree 100%. I think everything will go well but in the future a two day competition might need to be thought about. On another subject, I've been reading about some sort of a "clone" mefferts 4x4 for $8 on the deal extreme website that is supposed to be godly. By chance does anyone have this cube and would let me try it at this competition? I am thinking of getting one but I would like to try it out first.
