There aren't a lot of 6x6 and 7x7 competitors, so it should be fie, but I guess they can always reduce it if they need to. (And I won't be competing in those, so scrambling should go pretty smoothly.)

 

[cityzach]

yea, thanks for the generous cutoffs. i can make cutoffs for 4x4 which has never happened before!

 

[masterofthebass]

osht... i forgot 6/7 were being held. Maybe I should practice.

Off topic, but I might as well say it for those who actually care: Apparently this competition is only 20 minutes away from the house that my dad grew up in, until he was 7!

Competing for 2x2-4x4 and OH. I suck too bad at anything else =|.
Wow, I haven't been to a competition for months! Also, does anyone want to hang out with me there? If you don't know, I am just 12, so I understand if you wouldn't want to. I also average about 16-18 seconds. Thanks.

GAR.
I'm so close to sub-15. Like, SO CLOSE. I'm getting way more consistent 12s and 13s, and I'm getting more and more sub-15 averages every day (although I have yet to get a sub-15 average of 12 because I always get really nervous and fail).
I'm sure that in 11 days I'll be good though.

 

[nlCuber22]

If you haven't gotten a sub15 avg12 yet, you're not close to sub15 global by any means.

 

[JyH]

It's more just matter of concentrating. What happens is I'll get a 20, then a counting 17, then another. Basically, after the average of 5, my hands start shaking.

 

[nlCuber22]

All that means is you can't control your nerves or your endurance is horrible. Or both.

Mostly nerves. I can easily go 150 solves without stopping. Maybe I should hide my times. =S

I know that Eric isn't setting up a table there, so I was wondering if Bob was? I really need to get sub 1:30 4x4 (and yes, I know that I suck)!

Bob almost always sets a table up. From what I know, he sells Dayan, Maru, and some MF8 products (although I may be missing some things).

 

[cityzach]

[cityzach]

I know I said this before, but no one answered, so:

What hotel (if you are doing one) are most people going to?

[collinbxyz]

just bring a sleeping bag.

Now that's a smart problem thinker!

 

[cityzach]

y would anyone need a hotel? its a one day competition

Some people don't want to wake up at 3AM to take a 4 hour drive, then have to leave later that day and take another 4 hour drive.

what is everyones goals for this competition?

2x2: Sub 7 average, sub 5 single
3x3: Sub 16 average, sub 15 single
4x4: Sub 1:10 average, sub 1:05 single
5x5: Sub 1:57 average (random number), sub 1:50 single
7x7: Sub 6:30 Mo3, sub 6:15 single

All of my competition averages are pretty bad, so it shouldn't really be hard to break them all unless I do pretty bad.
