Unfortunately we will probably not hold multi bld. Although, we will almost certainly have bld. If we do have multi bld, what we might do is that you can only compete in bld OR multi.

I hope you can find a way to hold multiBLD; Micael is one of the best in the world at it, but he is rarely able to make it to competitions. He'd have a really good chance of setting the NR there, and a pretty good chance of taking the NAR from me.

Did you know that Canada right now only has one NAR? (Megaminx average, Emily Wang.) Here's a nice opportunity for another one...

Depending on the date, and if Multi is held, I'll try to go, even thoiugh I'll have to pay for passport....and I'll have to find a place to stay...and if it isn't TOO far away (> 8 hours)..but alas!

In all seriousness though, multi should be held. Almost no competitions give it .

 

[antoineccantin]

Who would participate in multiBLD if we would hold it?

 

[RyanReese09]

*Looks up how far it is away from me*
9 hours.
Conditions for me to go:
1) Place to sleep.
2) Some people I like go.
3) Megabus takes me there.

Optional-Someone comes with me :3.

Just leave the option for multi on the website registration. If enough interest is there, host it.

Why not get a passport a.s.a.p. so you can come to TOSp too?


edit: I might be able to come. It depends on a bunch of things.

I was thinking about doing that but my parents said it would take many many weeks for me to get one.
Plus I don't have a place to stay . That's the main reason... Julian almost had me, but then said his parents would only let me stay Friday, and I really need Saturday (since the megabus is my "place to sleep" on Friday)

 

[vcuber13]

what other events are you planning on having? sq1?

We were thinking of:

• Magic
• 2x2
• 3x3
• 3x3 OH
• 3x3 BLD
• 4x4
• 5x5
• Pyraminx
• Megaminx
• Multi BLD (maybe)

We will have to discuss with canadianCUBING to get the final results.

Unfortunately, no sq1.

 

[antoineccantin]

Due to unforeseen circumstances the date of the competition has been changed to Sunday May 22nd 2011.

Also, the probability of multiBLD being held has gone up (it is now very probable).

 

[vcuber13]

having the competition on the sunday may actually be better for quite a few people. it means that if there traveling farish say from toronto, like me if i go, which idk if i can yet, they could leave on the saturady and so they wouldnt have to leave on the friday night and get around there late in the day (the earliest i would have got there would be 8pm on the friday). also monday is a holiday so you could travel back on the monday.

 

[antoineccantin]

Just out of curiosity, is there a holiday the Monday (23 May) in the US?

 

[vcuber13]

i dont believe so, im pretty sure is only a canadian holiday

 

[Drake]

I may go to watch but i don't take i will participate :O. Over 8 hoours of drive, but i have family close of Montreal, so i will maybe be there. I don't see the point of going in for only 1 thing lol.

It doesn't matter how slow you think you are, just compete for the fun of it.
