What do you want from a tournament?

[Derrick Eide17]

What i like: EVERYTHING

What i dislike: LOCATION. i never have any money and no matter where the comp is its always way too much for me cause i totally cant travel not even like once a year. so any competition even the slightest away from me (every competition) i can never make it to. *cries*

- A certificate for top 3 finishers, how much can a piece of paper cost?

To be quite honest, that's the reason I can't care less about certificates or diploma's. It's just a piece of paper... Personally, I would not mind if there are no certificates, especially for side events.

Do you not want anything for winning ?

Maybe he's no good at side events or any main events for that matter.

You've been to 3 competitions. How did you get there?

I can't get to competitions as much as I'd like either; it's expensive going very far when I'm bringing my whole family.

Where exactly do you live, Derrick? Nunavut?

Events, many of them. I like events I can win (Master, Pyra), I like events I will loose (5x5x5), events only me and a few others do = unofficial ones like Snake and I also like events that I do not do (BLD).

Scramblers who knows how to do the job (I was trying to scramble Clock, which I newer did before (have no one myself), After 3 tries and the same number of messing up's, asking someone who knows how to solve it and retry, took some 15 minutes, then I gave up, from now on I only scramble cubic puzzles, no Clock, no Mega and no Sq-1 )

Judges, anyone can judge but for some reason many seems to rather not, aspecially first timers (maybe they are a little shy?)

In 2-day comps I like it when the venue is available all night because that time can be used to do odd events.

Well first off only my first comp was because a friend split with me who i asked numerous times after and they didnt want to again. so i guess they hate me or something.

and the other 2 competitions i had to go through HELL just to get to, and beg my mom, and scavenge ANY money i could and even perform at a church's family day event just to raise money for msyelf and they were friggin only 3 hours away from me! imagine any other comp what i would have to do just to get there? and seeing as how im dirt poor i dont see it ever happening. and btw i live in the crappiest suckiest poorest place you can imagine that EVERYTIME i tell someone where i live they say... WHERE THE HELL IS THAT? which i bet it will be leaving u saying that too. okay here it goes....

I live in Brockville.

Where The Hell Is That?

I live in Brockville.

Brockville Ontario? "City of the 1000 Islands?" (Hey, I can Google!) Why, your city's population is close to 25,000! You should be able to train enough cubers for a full competition without needing any outsiders. Maybe you can get a room at the library (you apparently have one!) for free to hold a competition. Looks to me like you should have no problem at all!

But seriously, if you really wanted to badly enough, you could probably do all of this, without even having any money. I know it would be hard, but you probably could do it if you really wanted to.

It could be worse - like I said, you could live in Nunavut. Then I could understand your not being able to hold a competition locally - it might be hard to find enough people nearby to teach cubing to so you could have a competition. But with 25,000 to choose from? Should be NO PROBLEM!
