Minnesota Open 2009

Good news: Darren Grewe will be there with his collection.

Bad news: There might be a possibility that we need to be more strict with cut-off times for the 4x4x4 and 5x5x5. I don't plan on doing this right now, but the sign-up rates for those events have greatly increased from the previous competitions. But if we can keep all the stations full, we should be good.
 
Which ones?
Perhaps PM is a better place to talk about this.

not many at the moment. A Cuboctahedron, a fisher ball ( new mod I'm working on (and yes I did get Tony's permission)), and anything else I make before then(I don't have any cubes left to mod though). I might not sell anything because I don't have stickers for them yet.


P.s. Do you guys know a good place to get large quantities of cubes for cheap? (besides Ebay)

And registration is closed......see you guys Saturday.

wow, this early?

It's less than a week away (and this is the deadline I've always had). The way I figure it, if people want to come to a competition, they can plan far enough ahead to know what they're doing next week. If they don't want to extend the courtesy of even signing up, then I don't really have too much sympathy for them.

The deadline is also comparable to other competitions (like the Berkeley comps).

Besides, if people still want to sign up, they can e-mail me. Although if I get an e-mail Saturday morning, I'll be grumpy.
 
Can i be the scrambler?

Sure, with you scrambling, we need like, 1 scrambler. Actually, we'll try to have as many as possible. I hope to have a ton of stations going so that we get way ahead of schedule. You going to be sitting in the parking lot again waiting for me?

I'll try. my brother wants to know if he can use your master magic?
 
Sorry that I'll have to miss this one, y'all. Money killed it.

Have a great time!

You had a free plane ticket and I offered to let you stay at my place, how much money did you need? :)

I had another trip planned right before it, and thought I would be able to finance both. But, even though the plane ticket is free, the taxes still have to be payed on it. Plus food, and bumming around money. I know it seems like very little, but very little is more than I have now.

On my registration, I don't think I offered to help with scrambling/judging, but just to let you know, I will help out in both of those if needed.

*Heavy sigh*, I suppose. I don't mind lending out other puzzles, but the magic just seem like the most delicate and likely to break. I will compete before him though :)

I promise that I won't break it. :)(hopefully)

Was sq-1 on the list of potential events?
