Captain's Cove 2009

[Tyson]

Sadly, I also have to miss this one
My brother's Bar Mitzvah is that day

A bris would probably have been more fun.

 

[Alex DiTuro]

There's a possibility I could go. I'll need a new DIY though. I don't know where most of my cubes went and i'm missing pieces to my eastsheens.

 

[Musturd]

Would it be a problem if I showed up at 2ish to spectate?
As in, will I be able to get into the building somehow?

It is an outside venue. So yes, you can come anytime.

 

[Musturd]

Oh ok, thanks

I guess I need to be better about checking into these things. The main thing I look at when approving a competition is the schedule, the delegate, and whether or not the organizer is competent. But, the Captain's Cove competition brings up an interesting possibility. What if, instead, the $5 fee was donated to a different group, one that provided the same resources as Swim Across the Sound Now... in terms of advertising ability and something like that. Just hypothetically... if the money were going to a hate group. Probably wouldn't be able to approve something like that as it might suggest WCA endorsement or support of the group.

on a completely unrelated note, i can't believe so few people are signed up for this competition.

Bob -Sorry, but can you please take me out of rubik's magic? I will not be participating in it.

Is anyone going to Captain Cove interested in purchasing the above item above. I can sell them at $12. It's a useful tool when someone you know wants to learn to solve the cube and you're too tired of teaching people to teach them.

I didn't go last year, was there a crowd of passing poeple watching the competition?

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

Eh...I can't make it. Better take me off the registration list. :x

 

[Tim Reynolds]

Everyone did terribly. I had a 19.62 average in the finals =/ Too cold outside.

John Tamanas won, Dan NARed in pyraminx average...yeah, no other good results.

 

[Bob]

Good thing for those clipboards!

So... who else except Patrick and me are sunburnt. For some reason, I only got it on my right arm. And... who the hell thought you could get sunburnt in 65 degree cloudy weather :/

I got it on the tops of my ears...even with the "Unibomber" hoodie. Got some good pictures of everybody trying to stay warm.

CONSTANT 20+ miles per hour breeze = not fun.

with occasional gusts


Still, it was fun and it was great to see everybody. Thanks to those who worked to put it together. And yes, good thing for those clipboards. Remember last year?

 

[Tim Reynolds]

I got to meet Tyson Mayo today. Too bad he decided not to compete in Pyraminix.

 

[Musturd]

I need to learn to solve the 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 a little faster.
I was the one who DNFed all the big cube attempts.
(I almost solved the 4x4x4, though, but I got the hard parity at the end)

It was windy.

 

[rahulkadukar]

Can anyone just post the complete results
