You have 2 weeks to get acclimated to a change of 3 hours. Pretty sure you can handle it.

I'm like dead right now though.

 

[RaresB]

I haven't payed yet I'm a bit confused will everything be ok as long as I pay b4 the 1st or must I pay before July 27

 

[TheMachanga]

I can technically go because I have nothing going on, but I don't have a ride, and I still have to play the huge registration fee and book a room, with is lots of $$$, plus I need a ride. :/ Now I have to wait and entire YEAR, which is what I told myself last year...

I am going to nats this year, and it's my third comp. Just wondering-what's it like?

Pretty much like any other comp, except alot more people are there and usually the solve times as a whole are lower. Plus there are vendors selling cubes.

Pay as soon as possible, but definitely by the 1st. Heats have been announced already, so just do it ASAP to make sure there's room for you.


Other news, this went out to competitors last night: heats are announced. http://www.cubingusa.com/usnationals2011/heats.php. If you haven't paid, you're not in the heats right now.

 

[Daniel Wu]

Oooooo... There's estimated start times for the heats. I don't remember that from last year.

 

[RyanReese09]

Heh, I love all my heats.

 

[JackJ]

Same. ^^ I love how my events are fairly spread out for leisure time.

 

[AustinReed]

I'm in a bunch of heats with Stefan, Sarah, Yu, and AJ.
Plus, I'm in BLD with Mike!

 

[nlCuber22]

Heat W for life.

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

Sweet, I'm in the same BLD heat as Stacu and Ryan. Awesomeness.

 

[Tim Reynolds]

To reiterate what it says on that page, the estimates are only estimates. If it says 12:00, and we call it at 11:50, you'd better be ready at 11:50. The times are just to help you plan your day.

Tell me if you think 2 of your events are too close together. I think that won't be the case for anyone though.

 

[MovingOnUp]

Are "heats" just the time frame/people you will be with? I'm confused. I will be signing up later today (procrastinating i know) but I don't really know much about a competition because this is my first i mean i know the rules and solves and everything just never been to one yet...

Also do you think a 15-year-old would have fun competing in us nationals? thanks

 

[RyanReese09]

Heats wil be when you are competing, and they also list who will be in your heat. This is just so it's easier to organize.
