So you can leave the competition early, right?

You could. 3x3 final round is usually the last event. If you have a scheduling conflict, let me know and we can try to work something out.

well, I would have to leave by 12:30... which sucks...

In that case, you should bribe me heavily to make sure I schedule the events you want in the morning.

could I just not go to the finals?
Would I still get my averages on WCA?
I could also do 2x2, 3x3 OH, magic and pyraminx as my other options

If 24.30 is your PB, you might not even get into finals.

Is there anyone who usually makes a facebook page? Or can I make one?

my PB is 16.94. my average is 24.30.
So I probably wont make it into finals anyway?

The cut-off is usually 25-30 seconds, depending on the number of competitors. So it all depends on how well you do & how many other people are there.

Go ahead and make a Facebook event.

A 24.30 might make it to the next round. I've gotten 26 at some of my comps and have still made it (I usually don't warm up because I'm busy running the comp).

If you don't show up for the final, your other solves will still count. As a courtesy, let me know you're leaving.

Schedule will be determined later. After I have some free time and collect bribes.

Anyone want an after-party somewhere? I know a couple restaurants.

By the way, Alcohol, Tobacco, Drugs, & Gum is strictly prohibited. You have them (use them for gum), your out.

Why gum?

There was also a gum ban at Chicago, did you complain then?

It's because they have had problems with gum being stuck on chairs, tables, the floor, trays, etc.

No, just wondering.

It's a very strict ban in my school.

So... How shall I go about finding a way to get there if I was going?

Chauffeur.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Haha. I couldn't find a flight that would go there. Maybe if I flew to the city of another cuber who's close who would drive? I actually have no idea.

 

[Cyrus C.]

To Moline, IL I don't think it's worth spending $650 though. You might be able to find one to Chicago cheaper.

On a different note, 88 more dollars & we break even.

As discussed earlier, there's not really direct airport into Clinton. I would try to check with Chicago people to see if anyone can give you a ride. While it's not the closest city with an airport, all flights there are going to be cheaper.

I'm really surprised more Chicago people aren't signed up yet. While it's not exactly in Chicago, it's going to be close enough to be a day trip.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Found a couple $290.80 return flight (taxes included) flights from Grand Forks (only 2 hours away) to Moline.

At this point it's a definite possibility. Just wondering where people will be staying.

I'm probably going to get Bryan a room here, we know the owners & can probably get a discount for him.

Moline is less than an hour a way, if anyone else is flying into there, I may be able to send out a car to get you guys.

It's looking very hopeful. We (mother and I) still have to look into it, but it looks hopeful.

Is your mother going to escort you? If so, that means we only have 1 spot left. Unless Bryan, or someone else coming a day early has a car with more space & is willing to pick people up, or have one of my parents drive.

EDIT: Or I could just not go along for the ride.

Yes, she would be going too. I'm getting so excited...
