World Rubik's Cube Championship 2011 on October 14-16, 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand

[Ron]

The World Rubik's Cube Championship 2011 will take place on October 14-16, 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand. Check out the World Rubik's Cube Championship 2011 website for more information and registration.

We have pretty strong time limits, but they will change once we have a better estimate of the number of competitors per event.

Looking forward to meet you all in Bangkok!

Have fun,

Ron

I'm still confused about the A and B limits.

Awesome! Registered
One thing though: when I click on the 'Click here to reserve your room now' at the hotel thingy for the Boutique my google chrome says:

Will our status for competing in certain events update if we make either A or B cutoffs before Worlds?

It has in the past, so it probably will now too. It would be silly to base it solely on results at this point in time

Yep.

Competitors must qualify for events to be able to compete in the events, by beating the qualification limits in any WCA competition up until August 31, 2011.

 

[Kian]

Yep.

Oh, thanks Chris. I should have read further!

 

[Dene]

Registered. This time I'm there for real, finally.

If only I was free that weekend .

 

[Henrik]

I hope Im registered since i did it Sunday, what a secret to keep
Thanks Ron for letting me test the site.

For Hotel: go through the hotel link and then promotion on top of that site. I have told Ron a few times about Chrome finding malware. In IE the link works fine.

I registered, but although I am serious about improving a lot before Worlds I don't think I can make any of the A or even B time limits. On the other hand, a cuber that has a sub 14 average 3x3x3 can probably participate in every event he wants. I like the idea of the categories and A/B limits, I just hope that I can participate anyway when the limits can be loosened a bit.
Just a note that is confusing a bit: 3 blind, 6, 7 and feet are not in any category. That should make a B time limit non-relevant
Another note: http://www.thailandcube.com/wc2011/?page_id=106 has a list that is too wide to be displayed (this terminal has firefox 3.5.2) and no scrollbar

Yeah, I am trying to change the WordPress theme, any advice would be appreciated.

Registered, I'll practise 4x4, and try to get sub 55 by the comp, but my tps is terrible (my comp average is close to 1:00, with lots of mistakes).

Im sub-14 but has almost no other times under any A or B limits.
But I hope I can improve and find a competition, to participate in before September.

In the Asian open in Bangkok last October, all prize money was paid in US$ cash. How is the prize money being paid for the world champs events please? Is it Euro dollars cash?

 

[Erik]

You already assume you are going to win a lot? ;-)
