macky may also help for the "how to get fast" seminar as well just to make things simpler. The two friday seminars may just be merged into one, with one topic directly following the other.

Registration closes July 21, which is soon. Register now if you haven't already!

If you haven't paid, you probably just got an email reminding you, or you will soon. If your name isn't on http://www.cubingusa.com/usnationals2012/competitors.php, you aren't registered.

I am officially, and thankfully, GOING!

Hopefully I won't suck as much as is predicted by the Psych Sheet, that was kinda discouraging. I can do sub-15 OH though BRING IT!

I want to learn2OH in seminar!

7th at 3x3 boy thats discouraging, im like 105th with a sub 15 avg

 

[a small kitten]

Yeah. US Nationals this year is stacked.

 

[RaresB]

Yeah. US Nationals this year is stacked.

^ an important part of the stacking but they also increased the amount of people that move on to the next round. Yet 15.87 made it to 2nd round 3x3 last year now its prbly going to be sub 15 into the 2nd for sure

 

[blackzabbathfan]

Any ideas on what its gonna take to make round 2 on 3x3?

 

[a small kitten]

You can try the psych sheet. Top 100 is pretty sub 15.

I'd say about sub 15 will make round 2.

 

[RaresB]

You were the least one to make it last year, whats gonna happen this year O_O 100th on the dot

I am confident I will be better than that, but you never know. Adding 36 people to the second round makes it more likely that I am safe.

Also I forgot we were doing 100, not 64. My guess for making the 2nd round is that everyone sub 16 will get in. I think 16.xx will be the cutoff.

Oh sweet, I actually have a chance at round 2!!

This is super last minute, but I'm 99.99% sure I'm going

So whoever watches the seminars should tape them so the rest of the cubing community , or like WCA could make a DVD out of it and sell it? Idk, but it would be cool if there was a way for people that can't make it to be able to see them

 

[frysauce]

Well, looks like I will happen to be in Vegas for business the preceding week. So my question is, as a 3x3x3 30/sec avg. (Without Pressure) cubist, do I have any business competing?

 

[a small kitten]

Of course. There are lots to gain from competing and not much to lose since you'll already be in the area. You'll meet a lot of interesting people and there is a lot to learn. If you intend to compete more in the future, attending Nats is a great way to get used to competition conditions.

There's going to be so much knowledge in that room it sure would be good if a lot more people were able to see it

 

[Kirjava]

WILL TRADE CUBING KNOWLEDGE FOR ALCOHOL

Exactly, my first comp was US Nats 2010. Even though my right hand was broken,. it was the most fun
I had ever had. It realy motivated me to get faster and practice more and go to other comps, all of which I did. Going to Nats is a great way to go.
