Bristol Spring 2010

[CharlieCooper]

Is there only one round for OH now? If so I could compete in OH now.

On the other hand, I can't do pyraminx now because the first round has been moved, but to me:

OH > pyraminx

Nothing is certain yet. There will probably be another round of OH but I need to check with the venue and work out what is happening with 5x5 BLD. It'll be updated in the next couple of weeks.

just saw that u extended the deadline for 2 weeks will that be a bit too close to March 27 ? (coz for me, i always need at least 2 weeks - 1 month to get every stuff ready to organise a comp)

Yes the deadline has been extended because several people still wanted to register and we aren't going to stop them joining in. The deadline was to serve more as a "we would REALLY PREFER YOU to register before this time please" although we understand some people can't know that far in advance.

Yesterday there were four registrations for example. Great!

As we are familiar with the venue and the format of the competition, as we ran a basically identical one before, this isn't too complicated for us to do. At UK Masters I had people phoning me while I was in the supermarket the night before buying the drinks and snacks with Edam and Olivér asking to register, that is definitely NOT appreciated!

The schedule will be updated again in about a week, and this will potentially include another round of OH, amongst other things.

I think a lot of people have been grabbed by the wonders of Square-1 in recent months.

Practise till my fingers fall off to make the averages on 4,5 and 7.
5 in particular. Megaminx is nigh on impossible lol.

Has everyone improved so much more than me recently?

I've actually got worse at most of the competitive puzzles (I learned quite a few others though). I'm not really a competitor: just a participant!

As the dad of a teenager I probably know how everybody feels in this situation

I can only suggest you give him a while to calm down and gently let him understand how much it means to you.

OK so it is iminant that there will be strikes by British Airways on the comp weekend

I really hope that they don't affect any of the international cubers coming to the comp

As far as I'm aware there aren't any competitors using BA for the competition. Not the people I have spoken to anyway!

Sigh. It's definitely not going to happen.

Charlie: Could you PayPal me back just £15 or so of the registration fee? I'll donate the £5 just to do my bit and so I can be there in the form of a pizza or something.
