Chattahoochee Spring 2009

Oh man! I can't wait for this competition. It'll be my first competition I compete in:) I'll be in 3x3, 4x4, and 3x3 BLD. Hopefully I can manage a sub 20 average or less:) (I'm just gonna shoot for sub 20 because I know I'll be nervous)
 
I can't wait either, the tournament is tomorow and I have been practicing a lot lately since I've been on spring break.
 
I just arrived today in Alpharetta, GA. I went to the venue but decided not to go into the school because school was letting out. I'm in a hotel and practicing for tomorrow.

How bad would it be if I dropped out of an event that I signed up for (3x3 blind)? I will attempt if it's a problem but I'm just really nervous about DNFing and I don't want my nervousness to interfere with the other events.
 
I'm so close to this competition (about an hour drive), but I have no way of getting there =(. I wish I would've found out about this comp a lot sooner. Any plans for another one?

Hey, some advice - just don't be nervous. When you're doing the other events, pretend you're not planning on doing BLD at all, and then just go do BLD when the time comes. Plenty of people DNF their first few tries at BLD. Perhaps it would be helpful to check out Haiyan Zhuang - he DNFed his first 8 attempts at 3x3x3 BLD. And he's currently second in the world at it. (Only the unfathomable Ville is better!) So walk in, treat it as if you were doing 3x3x3 BLD at home, and figure it's perfectly okay to DNF everything. And then if you get one, you'll just be pleasantly surprised and very happy.

I wish I were there - I'm sure it will be a good time. I loved Chattahoochee last year - even if I did DNF 4 of my 5 BLD attempts there. Andrew and Chris are the best!
 
Unless I'm mistaken, I think there's a mistake on the WCA results page for this competition. In the combined final for 4x4, the competitor in 7th place looks misplaced.

Edit: I accidentally left my stackmat timer at the competition. I let someone borrow it, but I forgot to grab it before I left. If you picked it up, please let me know so I can get it back from you. I'll pay for the shipping costs and all.
