Competition in Rockland (near Ottawa), Canada

[Drake]

Like i will see, the thing is if i can go. I would like to show to others my "pop less" lingyun lol. Its weird by putting an entire cube4you hardware, core, screws/spring, the lingyun pops reduce of almost 25%, and more lol. Never pop when I try to corner cut "line to line". When i putted the new hardware in i was having problem making it pop. But when it pop it pop, like an normal lingyun.

If you remove the washers in the lingyun it pops alot less and turns much faster. Can't wait for the competition

That's what we will see lol. Depends of my parents to, cause its not given to go there, and at less stay 3 days. But if i can go i will probly go in lol. Anf if im going its more to see other cuber, and to trade,buy and sell cube lol.

Not that a speed cuber, i only know beginners method for 3x3, i would only porbly try for 2x2, pyraminx, only use "monkeydude1313 method", and magic if i get an new 1, and i restart practicing it, make a wile since a touched a magic.

At my first competition, I just competed in 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 and I regretted not participating for any other events. What I do, participate in all the events I can do event if I am slow at them.

Like now doing megminx for sure, its would take ages lol. For the square 1 i just don't want to lose my time learning how to solve that. But if i can go im going in. Will need to buy another magic, and probly need my v-cube 2 that i wanted to wait until my birthday to get it, but anyway.

c'mon sq1s so fun, depending on how many people are doing multi and how big the place is, maybe have both at the same time?

 

[antoineccantin]

No, we are pretty much sure that we will not be having sq1. At least it is at TOSp.

Yes, canadianCUBING will have all their merchandise available for sale.

EDIT: Here is the complete list of their current merchandise.

 

[4EverCuber]

I've never competed before and I'm thinking about it in maybe another 8 months or so. Generally how much does it cost to enter such a competition?

It depends, if you just participate for 3x3, then it is 10$. Any additional event is 2$ more with a max of 20$. (ex. If you participate in 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and magic it is 10+2+2+2=16$. If you participate in 7 events for example you would pay 20$)
