Probably should've created a new thread, but whatever. Hope everyone's ready!
Vancouver Open 2010 – survival guide
Hey, guys. It’s Vince here. We’re coming into the homestretch and competition is THIS SATURDAY, so hopefully everyone is well practiced and ready to break a few records. With 51 pre-registered competitors (as of Monday), we’re anticipating a much larger turn-out than last year. For the 23 pre-registered competitors who have previously competed, this won’t so much apply to you, but if I missed anything, please feel free to let me know.
WCA Regulations
-This is an official World Cube Association competition and all competition rules are to be observed. For those who have never competed before, PLEASE be familiar with the official regulations so you have a better idea of what to expect.
WCA Regulations – things that tend to come up a lot
-Any misalignments on a cube puzzle are restricted to 45 degrees or less. 45-180 degree misalignment is subject to 2 second penalty.
-Middle slice being turned 45 degrees or more is considered two misalignment, and thus DNF.
-Be aware that puzzle malfunctions (pops, broken magic strings, etc.) are not grounds for additional attempts.
Registering
-If you have not already registered, please do so now as cut-off date is Tuesday evening. It’ll be beneficial for everyone so that we can sort you through a lot sooner and we can get underway that much quicker. Your competition fees are the standard - $10, including one event, $2 for additional ($20 max). If you miss the cut-off date, it’s $15 including one event, no maximum.
-Registration also includes free admission to Science World for you and ONE guest. Additional guests are subject to Science World’s admission prices. See their official website for more details.
Scheduling
-With the number of people registered and the number of drop-in registrants, we have a VERY packed schedule. Given the stricter time frame and larger number of competitors, there was a conscious decision to not include puzzles such as V-Cube 6/7, Megaminx, or Pyraminx.
-Please be in the Science Theatre during your event. In other words, do not be wandering around checking out the other Science World exhibits when we’re calling your name, or off trying to sell your puzzles to other competitors. Jameson O’Connor, I am looking in your direction.
-We will be reserving the first two rows of the Science Theatre specifically for the competitors of the current event. To maintain crowd control, please keep the stage and first two seat rows for event competitors ONLY.
Puzzles
-Please ensure that your puzzles are competition legal prior to event. If we are waiting on you because you are still applying 125 individual stickers to your V-Cube 5, you are going to have a lot of people REALLY unhappy with you. And unless you are sight-impaired (ie: relying on a textured cube for solving), a cube with an unstickered face is not competition legal.
-In response to the questions regarding Cubesmith stickers, it’s still being sorted. As I didn’t want to get stuck with a bunch of unsold stickers for puzzles that I don’t own, I placed an order according to what people were requesting…and I got three people who got back to me. As to the remainder, the decision is still being made as to what is being offered for prizes and what is for sale…more to come later tonight. If stickers are to be sold, the arrangement must be made PRIOR to competition as I will be running around too much to actually deal with you (if stickers are available, I will post the list of what I have…it’s on a first-come, first serve basis. Please do not contact me before that!). If I brush you off, I promise that I’m not trying to be a jerk, as I really do have somewhere else I have to be. Either that, or you forgot to shower before you left for the comp. For those that were part of the original order, PLEASE have exact change on-hand.
Volunteers
-To help the competition run smoothly, we’ll need help from people to do things like scrambling, data entry, administration, etc.

@Toquinha1977 how much are your stickers for the 3x3x3 cube?

I'm ready. Did a 3x3 average for the first time in a month last week. 11.5
I've been practicing 4x4 and 5x5 a lot too.
It's been lubed with nothing and it hasn't been modded.

Mea culpa. I composed that when I was at work (bad boy, bad boy). I'll be going back to edit it.

It's got C4U stickers on the black and orange sides but paint everywhere else.
Do you know how much the list price is for them?

Okay, finally went through my stickers and there isn't much left, as they're being given out for prizes.
1 standard 3x3x3 set - $1
1 bright set, 3x3x3 (black cube) $1.50
2 bright sets, 3x3x3 (white cube) $1.50 ea
1 Square-1 (white opposite yellow) - $1
1 5x5x5 (black cube) - $1.25
Please send me a PM if you're interested and BRING EXACT CHANGE. Once these are gone, THEY ARE GONE. If you miss the boat, I'll likely be running around like crazy trying to get the show on the road, so if I brush you off, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I swear it.

Does anybody have 1 4x4 orange sticker I could have? I seem to be missing one.
Fixed.
