Unofficial Maryland Competition

Can't say, prize will be revealed at the door ;)
But expect it to be a cube that will be released in April, so a cube that people haven't had the opportunity to get.

Oh, by the way, where are the results displayed after the competition is over? Will they be on the competition page, or somewhere else?

I'm gonna talk to my parents tonight. Because there is supposed to be an (official) DC comp this summer, I don't know. I would like to come to both, but if my parents don't want to drive ~4 hours for a competition, I don't know. I would prefer to go to an official one, so if they say like 1 comp per year or something like that (my parents are weird that way) then I will not be coming to this one. Sorry. I'm going to try and get them in a good mood tonight and ask them then.

DC might not be happening, but there should be one not too far away from DC. Bob and I are working on getting the rest of this spring announced (there's 2 more we're announcing soon for May), then we'll get some summer competitions worked out. By the end of this month there should be some official competitions for the summer.
 
We really need more competitions south of New Jersey -.- I understand it's hard to do these, even I'm running into a few problems, but still, I wish we had a delegate down here.

Are those two the Carnegie Mellon and Yale competitions? I just saw them these past few days.

I can pretty much come to any competition within ~1 hour from Sykesville/Eldersburg, MD, while still being ~4 hours from Charlottesville, VA.
The Baltimore area is ideal, but DC is good too. Just within that general area.

Mirza and NinjaStorm, I still haven't talked to my parents yet. I'll mention it today maybe, but they've been... Not to agreeable lately, if that makes sense. Parents... smh lol

It's fine, I understand where you're coming from. The only advantage of Baltimore over DC is there is more space. Trust me, I've lived here my whole life.
 
This goes out to Bob, Tim or anyone who has experience organizing competitions. I'm sorta low on money right now. I have 1 sponsor giving me $200 and another that hasnt replied to me. At most I'll get 6 timers. But I'll most likely end up with 4. Is 4 timers good enough for ~25-30 people(my estimate on the amount of people coming)? Some quicker events like 2x2, magic, and master magic won't be a problem, but my main concern is 4x4 and 5x5.

I don't have any experience, but not all ~25-30 people may solve 4x4 and 5x5. You may need to consider that.

So I talked to them at lunch today. They said that it isn't going to work. They said that 3.5 hours is too far to drive to come to an unofficial competition. And apparently we are more likely to go to a DC or Richmond comp. I had thought that our friends that live up in Baltimore made a Baltimore comp more likely, but for them, time is more important than friends. Sigh... :(
If I did my calculations properly, I can get my driver's license April 29, 2013. Then I'll just need a car and then UNLIMITED.... COMPETITIONS!!!

That's too bad. I will try my hardest to make this competition successful so it can be official next year. Till then I guess.

And I cant wait for my drivers license either. I'll be going to competitions left and right haha
 
If anybody knows cubers in the Maryland area who may want to come to this, please contact them, I'd like to have the best outcome possible. Also, I MIGHT be moving this to another thread which will be named "Chesapeake Science Point Spring 2012 UNOFFICIAL Competition"

Reese brothers? Contacting them sounds sort of like begging to me... And the best possible outcome most likely involves fewer people which results in easier running and such.

Why not just ask a mod to rename this thread?
