Arizona Open 2011 (IS NOW WCA OFFICIAL!)

Tucson area folks:
I'm planning a meetup in Tucson sometime next week with 1 or 2 friends to practice before the comp. Would love to have others join us. Let me know if you are interested & we'll see if we can find a time/place that works for everyone.

Also, my mom is driving me up for the competition on June 4. Let me know if you need a ride. We're going up early to help out.

Hey guy myself and Thrawst... yes the one from youtube Tristian need a place to stay for this competition. We will be getting in sometime friday and would like to stay that night and the night of the competition then we leave sunday. If anyone has room or whatever that would be awesome hotels just cost so much we would like to leave that as our last resort.

Thanks,
Slater

Will I be able to make up the events I'm going to miss by showing up around 2PM?

 

[AustinReed]

Probably. Make sure to talk to J-Fly then.

I'm just the delegate. That's up to the organizers (Chris and Ryan).

 

[AustinReed]

I thought you were in charge of that. Guess not.

 

[Tall5001]

I have done 150 3x3 solves today, 50 were OH. I am still not ready.

 

[uberCuber]

I have done a little over 1000 3x3 solves in the last nine days, and 60 5x5 solves in the last two days (gonna do more right now).

Tomorrow I will do some more 3x3 and 5x5, along with 4x4 for the first time in weeks. Then I can practice 2x2 a bunch while my dad's driving me up there from Tucson. I've got this. :3

 

[Me]

ug, your times are intimidating me to the point of wanting to throw up my hands and scratch events. Have you ever competed so I can psych myself out more?

 

[uberCuber]

nope, I've never competed before. making me kinda nervous to be honest. and in case you care about 4x4, I'm not that good at it anymore

 

[Tall5001]

Guys dont worry about it. Really it ends out being just like cubing with friend and when you realize you dont need to be stressed then everything is fun dont go super practicing! its not worth it just have fun!

 

[AustinReed]

^That's what they want you to think.

Make sure you bring jackets, guys. High on Saturday is 103. High on Sunday is 107.

 

[AustinReed]

OMG It's tomorrow. I really need to practice pyraminx right now.

 

[uberCuber]

K, I'll try to dig out the winter coat that I'm sure I have.

 

[liljthedude]

Can't believe it tomorrow either!

 

[uberCuber]

Can't believe it tomorrow either!
