Gavin Nelson's hosting this one. Less than an hour away from me, so I'll definitely be there! Unfortunately it's the day after qualifications for nationals end.

Unfortunately it's the day after qualifications for nationals end.

I'm going to the Houston Open, which is on the same day as the Connecticut competition. Yesterday I noticed the same thing you did, that it's the day after qualifications for nationals ends so I sent Tyson an email.

He replied saying he's considering it, but he's a little reluctant to move it back because he already has. The original deadline was July 15.

Let's see what the boss decides...

Less than two hours away from me. Hmmm.... I probably will go to this one

 

[Ethan Rosen]

45 minutes away. Nice.

 

[Kian]

2 hours. Not bad, I'll probably be there.

 

[StachuK1992]

2 hours from my Mom's house, but the week after C3...

 

[Bob]

I might go.

 

[Edmund]

Possibly. *crosses fingers*

Any ideas on the cut-off times yet?

 

[Tim Reynolds]

You mean for the 2nd and 3rd rounds? Hard to say since only 7 people have registered so far.

I meant more for 4x4 and 5x5. But you are right in saying that you can not judge times until you have a better idea of the total number of competitors. I shall wait patiently

I will be there. 2 competitions in a row.
No FMC or pyraminx?

Cool! I'll finally meet you. You're a pretty interesting person (IMO).

Two competitions in a row? Wow. Isn't Big Cubes like 5 hours from you? And one about Connecticut? Won't that take you like 8 hours or something?

lol. A competition that's only an eight hour drive away seems so near to me. I wish I frequently had competitions that close. Even the ones I've organized with a friend have been at least 5 hours away. But I guess that's okay, considering I live in the southern portion of Texas.

Oh well, traveling is fun.

If you mean the round trip, yes according to google maps. I'll stop in the middle for breaks, so more like 3 and 5 for 1 way.

Bump

Competition is this upcoming Saturday! I'm probably going to do every event except Square-1, if I can get 3x3 BLD down. I'm using Old Pochmann for both corners and edges and currently practicing it with my memorization method.

I hope I get good averages too (mostly 3x3). Getting better since last competition, maybe if I do good I'll get into the final round
2x2, I've gotten surprising a lot better by just learning a better algorithm for one of the PBLs, idk, maybe it was because I switched to color neutral.
4x4... bleh I fail I'll be lucky if I get a better average.
5x5 I just started a couple of weeks ago and still struggling to consistently get sub 3 times.... lol I'm awful

I'm also bringing a couple of friends and for one of them, it's their first competition. I can't wait!

 

[Feanaro]

I'll be there, hope to see some world record magic action by Patrick! Good luck to everyone!

 

[Kian]

I'll be there, hope to see some world record magic action by Patrick! Good luck to everyone!

He might have to practice first. .

 

[Feanaro]

He did it at Drexel, so maybe he'll do it again here lol

 

[waffle=ijm]

I'll be there. I'll have to brush up on 2x2 and 3x3 since it was nonstop big cubes for Dan's competition.

and Magic too...
