sweet. just registered. i'm pumped.

edit: just saw the schedule. Half of competitors advancing to the 2nd round? There's a pipe dream if I've ever seen one. On the other hand, you could do more than 8 for the final in well less than 30 minutes. just my two cents.

It's not too far of a trek, is it?
And there will be at least 10 competitors just from my school, so...

oh, i'm happy to go out there, but it is significantly farther for many of the nyc metro area cubers than most of the other competitions in the northeast, so I imagine it will be less full than the other northeast competitions. maybe something more along the lines of the drexel comp.

just booked a hotel room so I don't have to drive in the morning. never been well rested at a competition before!

Haha...well, hopefully you can get there bright and early to help out then :p
I actually wouldn't mind a smaller crowd
Smaller crowd == more events + less stress :)

Sure, you just let me know when you want me there and I'm there.

And I agree on the smaller crowd, it does make things a lot easier. Remember how nice it was to be like 2 hours ahead at Drexel?
 
I'm going!

First competition, and I feel like there will be two people done in the time it will take me go... Maybe I can get tips from you all. :o

I'm also bringing the first person I taught to cube (and only so far) and he and I can have our first competitions. He is at the 2:00 minute range though. :rolleyes:

Hope to have fun, will be doing 3x3, 4x4, and may bring my new sq-1 for the heck of it. I need to get some tiles though, you can't see the Rubik's logo on my cube. :eek:

I will try and get sub-40 before the competition.

EDIT(sorry): It says on the schedule that 4x4 is sub-2 minute average? I'm out. Just timed myself (first time since second day I got it) and got way over 3:30 minutes.
Oh well. In between timings I guess. Same with 3x3 OH I am guessing.

No worries about the sub-2 minute average cutoff. What that usually means is that you'll need to do one of your first two solves will have to be under 2:00 in order to get a full average, but that doesn't preclude you from attempting your first two solves.

Either way, come and have fun, it'll be a good time!
 
Yes. And bring an appetite for brownies!
As Kian said, don't worry about the sub-2 rule. Just get the first two solves in, and be happy. If we get pretty much no more people, there still is a small chance that you'll be able to do a full average anyway, but don't hold me to it :p

By the way, would you mind registering NOW?
 
YAY! I can still do it!!! Makes me happy. :)

Once I get my parents on it. Apparently they looked at it, but didn't register me.
Wait. Need to ask a friend if he could come. That's why! Oh yeah. Getting on that now. Will be signed up by tomorrow most likely.

Thanks you guys! Can't wait to meet you all.

And I'm not sure your brownies can beat my little brothers. Chocolate, chocolate chips, chocolate fudge, and mint. BEAT THAT. (Hotwheels! heh)

Haha...I've been to 7 competitions, and I've only done 1 full average; haha

Errr...could you maybe explain that quote?
I got the "beat that!" part, but the rest...

You mean the Hotwheels? That's their slogan: (Beat That! Hotwheels!)
And if you mean the brownies, you said to bring an appetite for brownies, and I just stated that I would be surprised if they would be better than my brothers. It was a mean(-ish) thing, and had no point.
And friend is pretty sure he can go.
 
Ah. I see.

Well, if both of you are fairly sure that you can go, be sure to register!
Just wondering, about what age are you.
Not trying to get too personal, I just hate it when I meet someone from the forums, thinking that they are like 16, and they turn out to be 12, or the other way around.
 
Ah.
That's cool.
Do you(and your parents, I'm guessing) plan to stay overnight at a hotel?

I went first to a comp. when I was...15, so you're not young at all.
I'm only 16 now, but I'll be 17 by the comp(6 days after my b-day).

Don't be intimidated at all about age. I've seen people from 6 to 60 participating; focus more on the solving and socialization than try to fit in with whatever "cool croud."
