Virginia Open 2008?

[Lotsofsloths]

I just got off the phone with Bob, he might not be able to make it(but he still might be able to make it)..
And that means if he doesn't come we have no delagate.
And also no timers.
So, I emailed Chris, but he hasn't responded, he needs to come he is our last hope xD
Does anyone have another way to contact Mr. Hardwick?
Also, if Bob doesn't come we have no timers, so where is another place to get timers?

EDIT:

Can I also get a list of who's coming foir sure, like if it was hosted?

i would say i'm 95% right now, but i can't guarantee you given how distant the date is.

I'm still trying to find a way to get/rent timers and displays.

 

[StachuK1992]

[Kian]

i could bring my laptop, too. and a timer.

i'm also willing to scramble in any event i'm not in.

Are you allowed to use CCT or Jnet rather than a stackmat at competitions?

 

[MistArts]

I don't think it says in regulation..

 

[ShadenSmith]

8a7) The Stackmat timer (at least Generation 2) must be used for time measurement.

 

[MistArts]

The timer...what about the display?

I don't think it says in regulation..

When regulation questions come up, if you "think" something is a certain way, then look at the regulations so that you _know_ something is a certain way. (http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/)

The regulations don't say that you need Speedstacks displays, so you could use CCT in place of the displays. You could also in theory have no displays, but that makes for a boring competition.

For the timers themselves, you must use Speedstack timers, not the timing feature of CCT or JNetCube. Regulation 8a7

It means that I'm not sure if it's in the regulations.

Correct. If you're not sure if it's in the regulations, then check the regulations, rather than trying to guess or go with a gut feeling.

 

[alexc]

If I come, I could bring a laptop. But I have no idea if I'll be able to at this point.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

I've been to two competitions with only two displays, and one competition with no displays.

I mandate that all displays should have a rear display... for the US Nationals finals, us in the back could only guess at the times.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Hmm, I guess we could use like CCT or something..but still, I wish that maybe I could borrow some timers from Speedstacks, is that possible?

Sorry for the double post, but I will get timers from speedstacks.

Here is the revised schedule aswell:


8:30
Registration
-At this point I will clear up peoples events, do a timer demonstration, go over rules and such.


9:00
3x3 round 1
-Pretty straight forward, I will try to get 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 BLD before everyone else.


10:30(or as early as possible)
Pyraminx
4x4x4 Blindfolded
5x5x5 Blindfolded
-You will have to choose between Big Cubes BLD or Pyraminx, I suspect to have lots of free time during this peroid.


11:20-11:30
Lunch, free pizza(at registration we take tally of how many pieces of pizza each person wants)
Magic/Master Magic
continue 4x4x4 Blindfolded
continue 5x5x5 Blindfolded
-Free Pizza, we will tally up how many pieces and of what kind(cheese or pepo). IF 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 BLD people haven't finished yet, give them through lunch to finish.

Maybe you can add clock during pyraminx. (It's faster than SQ-1) Or replace it/combine it with magic.

So..have you gotten the exact location and delagate and stuff?

Location is good, I need to take pictures and send it to you guys and the delegate and Tyson to make sure its OK though.

Delegate is good, its Chris Hardwick.

Timers I still need to rent and stuff.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

I am going to save up and buy about 6 of these:

This way I can help other east coast people that are in need of timers.
