Dallas Open 2011

^Which I'm assuming happens the moment Anthony walks in, unrolls a paper with the flick of a wrist that says:

[Insert Delegate's first and last name here]: [Check mark]

and we all cheer.

Website is up thanks to Anthony - http://www.speedcubing101.com/dallas-open-2011.html

Also, I don't think there is any room for 5x5, sorry. Also also, the registration fee does look slightly intimidating, but the fund left with Sapan and we need timers and to pay for a portion of the delegates flight.

Date is pretty much set in stone. Jeremy has already volunteered to come as the delegate, but I'm waiting to hear back from Daniel Hayes because he's closer to Texas.
Texas is too slow and unorganized to have 5x5-7x7 at this point. It takes us WAY too long and we don't really have an established "team" helping run the competitions.
As for the registration fee, $20 is a bit steep, but at this point necessary. :/ I'm going to talk to my mom's friend who got us this venue last time (for $200 instead of $500) and see if he can help us out at all.

Once registered, can a add 1 maybe 2 events closer to the date of the comp?

 

[IamWEB]

Yes.
The registration online is to get an idea of what to expect for the competition, but you still must register on paper when you get there. Therefore, you can add on events once you register on the day of the competition.

Jeremy's the delegate.
Hopefully, it's just a matter of time before it's official now.

 

[MichaelP.]

Oh, btw Anthony, thanks for registering me, but I'm not doing pyra.

 

[IamWEB]

I'll stick to what I was signed up for, though I'm not so interested in doing 4x4x4. :/

Also, thanks in advance, Jeremy.

Michael and William: I took you two out of those events. I just assumed you wanted to compete in them. Don't feel bad about backing out, it'll help a lot if you're able to scramble! xD

 

[Tall5001]

im really hoping to go because it would be awesome!!! but i live in ABQ so thats either a long drive or a plane trip which idk if i have the money for. hopefully though!

 

[MichaelP.]

Thanks Anthony, I'm happy to scramble of course. I think I can teach my friend Bradley to judge/scramble and come. Justin just told me can't come.

*Poors Cube lube out on the corner for Justin*

Ok no, but still... Justin.

 

[MichaelP.]

Ok, one way or another, I'm going to call and start booking the venue tomorrow.
Also, not that it really matters, but I updated the original post to give all the info.

i just checked to see if my parents would be able to take me for the weekend. i've never been to a comp before and i really want to try it out. and would i need to bring my own stackmat timer? because i don't have one or the money to buy one.

No, you don't need to bring your own.

Due to lack of funding and support, along with my inability to travel due the afore mentioned reasons, I will not be attending. Good luck hope to make it to the next comp. Did I forget anything?

More people who can't go. :/

Stuff to (attempt to) find out:
-Room number, location, dimensions, max capacity (duh/you probably already know that)
-Pics of the room? (Mostly for lighting purposes)
-Internet Access?
-Adjustable room temperature? (We could probably do without it, but cold rooms suck for competitions so...)
etc.

Thank's William, this is great.
