Indeed it is...

Hmm I think I would need to have a more definite idea of the likelihood of clock and multiBLD before I commit to making this trip.

 

[iSpinz]

If I register now can I change the events I am taking place in?

Clock, perhaps. Multi-BLD? I'd say low. We don't have the venue for that long, and to tkae a full hour (plus prep) to run the event would be difficult.

Who would use the full hour besides Mike? Anything over 10 minutes would be an epic failure for me.

I could promise to do a (relatively) tiny number of cubes, keeping my solve below a half hour, if it helps.

But I'd rather do big cubes BLD, if I had a choice - it's much more fun for me.

Still, I'll do whatever events you hold - I'll be there no matter what - Chicago's too close for us to miss.

I have another question: If I wanted to do 3x3, OH, and 3x3BLD, would I have to use 3 different cubes?

No, you can use whatever cube you want for each event, and use the same cube for all three if that's what you want to do.

If this is your first competition, I highly recommend you read the Competitor Tutorial on CubingUSA, and also follow the links there, especially the one with the WCA Regulations. Then you'll mostly know what you can and can't do. Then relax and have fun - it'll be a great time.

Question: If I sign up for ex 5 events. And I get a new puzzle like pyraminx (I have one but it's crappy) when I get there or possibly before, can I add on events im participating in someway?

You can update your registration if you have a CubingUSA account. Registration closes on the Wednesday before the competition. One that day, you cannot add anymore events. This is so that we can finalize the schedule and make any adjustments we need (like limits).

We (the organizers) are planning out things months in advance. The least you could do is plan out 5 days in advance.

PLEASE add 7x7 to the events. That and 3x3 are the only two e ventsthat I was really looking forward to. If not, oh well but please consider it.
