Ohio Open 2009

As long as Mike Hughey doesn't do either clock or feet, I'm fine. :P
I just emailed Jim about my hopes to do both clock and feet. :)

Aww. :P Hopefully I can convince Danyang to give me a 5x5BLD attempt. You know those are all you're missing, right?

I actually wasn't aware of it until oyyq99999 pointed it out to me a few minutes before your post. I'm sorry I never thought of it before!

But actually it might be a little more complicated than that. Are the new rules going to go into effect soon? If so, then we'll both need 6x6x6, 7x7x7, and possibly another multi as well (I assume they're going to relegate the old multi results to a separate list, although I'm not sure - it's all so confusing over on the WCA Forum right now).

My question to Jim was whether or not he thought I could pull off clock, followed by 6x6x6 and 7x7x7, followed by multi and then feet. The schedule has all those events mashed together, so it will be a rush of activity to pull it all off.

Yeah, I would think that he'd drop at least one of those events for time's sake.
:P

Anyway, you can still manage to be top 100 in the world at all events when you pull it off (assuming you get a slightly better OH single). It would take me a massive effort on 3x3x3 speed just to get to top 1000 in the world.

Oh, I didn't notice that before....
 
Well, I hope to win feet, sorry Mr. Hughey :p (I should practise)


That's okay, because even if you win you both will get NR's :)

If Tim gets a chance to do feet before then, I'm sure I won't have a chance at a NR. And honestly, either you or Jim could probably beat me there too if you actually gave it a serious effort. Jim is so good at OH, I bet he could be sub-1:30 pretty quickly with a bit of practice.

No, I'm not dropping any events. :p
6x6/7x7 will probably be moved before lunch though. Worst case is we start an hour earlier or something on Sunday.

And yeah... feet. After doing 3 solves around 4-6:00, I don't think its something I will work on regularly. I have been working on 4x4 though... got down to a 1:25 avg :)
 
anyway, I'm going to guess that Ohio will have basically combined finals everything.

I'm hoping everyone will get to do a full avg of 5 (or mean of 3 or whatever) in every event - obviously this will depend on numbers of competitors, though.

And 2x2/3x3/OH will have separate finals, at least.

5x5 please :D
 
I am going to try and convince my parents to head up that way. We would most likely stay in a hotel, considering that I would bring the family, and possibly the girlfriend. Even though I wouldn't compete in the second day, I would still either spectate or judge, depending on what Jim needs.
 
You almost make me want to stay home and check out this new live feed stuff. =p

:)

The webcams will hopefully go over well... I'm just hoping OSU's network won't take issue with it. I got the idea from Cornell 08, when Dan Cohen had a webcam set up.

The results system isn't quite as elaborate like Clements - having results go right into the database would be pretty cool. Not quite as elaborate as Lucas's either, I don't think... this more or less just displays the WCA spreadsheet. Although, I'd say it does have the benefit of being easy to manipulate because you are working right on the spreadsheet. And it is easy enough to use, as it requires exactly one double-click on my end to upload new results.
