Finally, a competition in my area! Awesomeness. I'm definitely not missing this opportunity. Is anyone else coming?

I'm not sure since this is my first competition, so what do I need to bring? Is their a entering fee? Identification, a printout of something, etc.?

lol I think I might go to this. Not sure yet, but all you need to bring is your cube and 7 bucks for registration I believe. I would recommend bringing at least 20 dollars for other reasons I guess. If I go I guess Ill see you there

If you are only doing 3x3 7$ tops should be the registration fee. I always bring like 40$ because usually people will sell awesome puzzles.

Sweet prizes, wrong side of the continent for me.

Don't make assumptions that $7 should be enough to cover the fee in all competitions. Various competitions have various fees, and the best thing to do is just look at the competition website and see what the fees are. For this particular competition, it's $7. In other competitions, they have $10 flat fees. In other competitions, it varies by the events you sign up for.

Yeah, I know that there was one back in San Diego like in May, but my parents wouldn't want to drive me more then somewhere an hour away.

You're right though, I probably was a little too giddy

Uh... unless you consider your area the "one-kilometer radius in downtown Los Angeles," you really haven't been awake the last five years have you? The Caltech competitions have been within running distance of this one.

Are there any cubes that are like Type As but don't pop as much?

 

[andrewunz1]

I've only been cubing seriously for like 6 months. So I've just been on alert for competitions since then.

I'll check out your 4x4, or anyone's non-Rubik's 4x4 and V5.

Do you need to pay if you are just audience? Might go there just to buy cubes.

He was asking about the head-to-head competition, which is an unofficial event.

The final head-to-head was between Cameron Brown and Daniel Chan. Both of their times were 15.xx. Cameron won by <0.5 seconds.
