I suck at a 2x2x2 in competition. 5th. :/
4th in OH and Pryaminx, lol.

3rd in 3x3x3 with a bad 14.34 avg, lol. Michael got 4th 14.36 XD.
I won 4x4x4 XD! Congrats James, 2nd was extremely close.

Beat my 12.27 single with my very first solve (12.09), and got 2 sub-12 singles later on. Fail 2x2x2 and some 3x3x3, but new records all around and I'm happy! Fun, fun, fun fun.

Sometime it is, sometimes it isn't.

Great tournament! I had a blast. For purely selfish reasons, I hope you guys have a lot of trouble finding a delegate closer than me in the future =).

My 17.44 oh average contained an oll skip, a pll skip, and a sune to u perm LL. Such a waste!
I'm going to start looking at cp during oll now. Thanks, Anthony.
 
@Jeremy: Come back when you can!
@Tim: Yeah... things didn't go so well :(.
@Michael & Squadala:

Excellent job running the competition. For the number of people and the location it ran very well. A lot of people are clamoring for more Texas competitions, but it takes some people like Michael and Anthony to step up and make it happen. It must be hard to compete in the competition and spend 90% of your time there trying to run it. Personally I wish the WCA would have more of a hand in organizing competitions around the U.S. instead of relying on high school kids to do it, but I know other people might disagree. I look forward to the next one in Texas, as long as it's not in Brownsville(sorry Anthony). I think people prefer to have a competition even if the entry fee is steep rather than wait on a more affordable venue.
 
@Cannon4747 If you can secure a venue and a delegate (hi Jeremy), you can get one going and you're guaranteed a good amount of competitors. You'll need to look into the details of running one, though.
If you were to successfully hold an unnofficial one, though, you'd be more likely to get approved to have an official one.

Nor Michael or Anthony are in or near Austin, so it's less likely to happen there without help from there. Or we could just have another Dallas Open, or even another South Texas Open ;P.

I've noticed no events are ever held in Louisiana. If someone would like to help put one together, I'de be glad to run an event in the Shreveport area (NW Louisiana). About 3 hours from Dallas. A cube club is being started at my college and I could get around 10 people to enter it just from my area.

I don't know what you TX folks think about coming to La to compete, but I had fun at the Dallas Open, so I believe an La event would be just as fun and successful.

If you could find a venue I think people would be happy to drive out.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it and I really appreciate your sympathy to the difficulties of running the competition.

Also, just judging from the feedback, this competition seems like it pleased just about everybody. I'm happy to organize more but we have a couple of variables to be determined.
1. The venue, pretty obvious. If you want a competition near you, assuming you live a relatively convenient area, find a venue.
2. How often would you guys like competitions? It seems like from who I've talked to, 3-4 a year is a good number. It won't get tiresome or boring and it's a good start.
3. A delegate, Texas's delegate Sapan is currently inactive so in order to have a competition you need to find a free delegate. This shouldn't be too much of a problem, we didn't have trouble getting Jeremy (who's awesome).

So I'll probably start thinking about another one in late June. At that point I'll ask if anyone has a viable venue and if not, it might just be in Dallas again.
