US Nationals 2009

It also creates more work for me when I post the results, so I will treat you like crap all weekend.

I remember being amazed at how tedious it was to put results in the database. Me and Dave were sitting there quite wide-eyed. Be nice to Bob!

Bob also made the spreadsheet for my comp, which saved me a lot of work.

All hail Bob!

No no, the hailing should be to Shelley for the work on the US Nationals page.

 

[Dene]

Props to SHELLEEEEEEEEY!!!!

There is on-campus housing available, but you must be an adult to register. An adult is defined as someone over 18, and not by maturity, fortunately for most of us. Information is on the website.

As soon as I read that, I thought of Arnaud.

I wonder why that is

If you don't want to pay online, you could probably make a private arrangement with Shelley. You should contact her directly.

I didn't want to pay at all, but payed online anyway. Now I found out that I should have contacted Shelley directly to make a "private arrangement". I have no idea what that arrangement would entail, but I can AND will imagine on what I am missing out on.

Please check the above after you have registered and let us know if any of the qualifications are off. Unfortunately, this is a manual process for us, so it's easy for us to make mistakes.

I shouldn't qualify for anything....

I just checked and fixed it. I'll have to see what's going on... I'm surprised there was as many errors as there were. Everyone theoretically qualifies for FMC.

I have no idea what that list means. What does a X mean? and what does a q mean? When do I have to qualify and when would I be pre-qualified?

 

[shelley]

X means you are already pre-qualified. q means you will be competing in the qualification round. See http://caltech.cubingusa.com/usnationals2009/events.php for qualification standards.

Ignore the Mystery Event nonsense at the bottom for now. We'll have signups online eventually, but you're not supposed to know what the mystery event is until it happens anyway.

not that I'm going, but why are there "qualification", "standard A" and "standard B"?

for 3x3, do you need an avg under 18 (qualification time) or 17 (standard A) seconds?

in some puzzles, the qualification and standard A differ, in some qualification is higher, in others is the opposite...

Qualification time refers to the times you get at competitions before the US Nationals ("between January 1, 2007 and July 31, 2009").

Standard A and Standard B refer to the times you get at the qualification rounds at the actual National comp.

Ah, glad that at least someone got it. I hope that I wrote it clear enough.

If you don't meet the qualification time, you go into the qualification round.

While you're in the qualification round, if you get an average below the Standard A time (single solve for BLD events), you AUTOMATICALLY ADVANCE into the first round. If you get something better than Standard B, you will be in consideration to advance depending on number of spots.

 

[Pedro]

oh, right

I think I knew it, but somehow forgot

 

[reghrhre]

hopefully im able to go. Not sure if i'll be on vacation though

 

[4ZN_5H4D0W]

So I should fill out the registration form, then email Shelley about payment? Sorry about asking so many questions, I just don't want to mess anything up, and want to make sure I get everything right.
