World Championships 2013 - Las Vegas

[Mikel]

Well... you still have a year to practice...

That's true, but I can't predict how fast I will be after that year.

 

[Noahaha]

What are these qualification times like?

What are these qualification times like?

Interesting question... I would have thought this would still be posted somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

Times are usually based on the size of the venue, available judges, time, etc.

What ballpark though?

What ballpark though?

I tried finding it on the WC 2011 website, but I think it was taken down. If I remember reading correctly (and I could be wrong, i didn't compete or anything) but I believe it was sub-14 average for 3x3.

 

[HelpCube]

It was 15.19 to make it into the second round, which looks like the first real round.

Be patient, we will find out soon enough when it has all been organised. But bear in mind any numbers the organisers come up with a likely to change once people start registering and they get a better idea of who is attending and how many people etc.

There is plenty to do in Las Vegas besides gambling and drinking, and there is a lot of family friendly entertainment as well. In addition, it is a desirable place for foreigners to visit in the United States. Operationally, the venue is within walking distance to the hotel, though I would recommend taking a taxi, which should not cost more than $7 USD for four people.

Group hotel is Circus Circus

Everyone will get an average in 3x3. Last year I believe the same was true for 2x2, pyraminx and FMC (for single).

I MIGHT go.

 

[TimMc]

This would be my first time to the US. :-D

Is there much in the way of culture/history and family friendly stuff to do there?

Yeah. Only half of Vegas is basically geared towards 21+.

You totally lost me. I was referring to the U.S. as well.

Where does Beijing come into play here?

 

[Andreaillest]

With nats and worlds in LV, I really hope I can make both. I know some folks who are always down to go there just to gamble. Only downside is that it's a 1 month before my 21st birthday. Damn...

IIRC there was talk of WC 2013 being in Beijing (at WC 2011)
