US Nationals 2012 (Las Vegas)

[Kian]

As there was some confusion about the prizes last year, I think someone should absolutely clarify (maybe it should be spelled out on the website). Do the cash prizes apply to everyone, or just US competitors? I assume, based on the clarification for the trip to Worlds, that the prizes are given without respect to nationality, and I sincerely hope that is the case, but I think it should be clarified now, so there is no doubt at the competition.

Your assumption is correct. All competitors are eligible for the cash prizes, regardless of nationality. The trip to Worlds 2013 is the only exception. The best finish by an American in 3x3x3 speedsolve, whether that be 1st or 7th or anything else, will be rewarded with the trip.

Could someone make sure to bring dome jigaloo? I doubt we can bring it through airport security/customs.

It should be fine. I took CRC with me on international flights a few times, I even told the TSA about it.

Just put it in a bag you are checking. I doubt you can have it in your carry-on.

Yep, exactly

Man is nationals going to be CRAZY. Someone get vid and make the longest "did you know" list ever.

So my flight lands right before registration. I think I will be there in time but I may not be there before 9, and I am in the first event (4x4). I just thought I should let you know. I do not think this will be a problem because I am in heat eight which starts at 9:55.

 

[Evan Liu]

Yep, exactly

Are Lubix/Maru Lube (i.e. small quantities, and not sprays) allowed on carry-on?

 

[Julian]

I wonder if anyone is on my flight. Anyone from Toronto leaving Thursday at 7:20 am?

 

[Weston]

If anyone still hasn't booked a hotel room yet, Anthony Brooks and I are looking for someone to stay in a room with us and one more person at the Riviera.

Hey Weston, can you hold that room? I might have a pair that is interested.

Sorry, my initial post was unclear. We already have three people. We need one more. I also have to talk to Anthony before accepting any offers

Ok then, I do not need the room anymore.

 

[Kirjava]

Breandan might want that room.

That should be fine as long as you are on time for your heat. Check-in will be fast, just stop by when you arrive and then go do 4x4.

Usually the airports I've been to (all US) have a 1.5oz - 3oz limit on liquids. I know that sometimes even a small bottle of hand sanitizer is too much. I would recommend putting any liquid into your checked bags.

A little late, but does anyone have a spot in their hotel room for the night of the 6th?
I don't mind floors, as long as I get to make a pillow fort.

 

[PhillipEspinoza]

A little late as well but I figure I'd try, does anyone have a floor or space in hotel for me and a friend? Willing to pay up to $50 for weekend if you can help out. I know it's not much but it's the most I can comfortably afford. Lemme know.

Ask Weston.

 

[Julian]

Will there be 15 seconds total inspection for TeamBLD (from caller seeing cube to starting the solve)?
Will one person be allowed to hold the cube while the other makes a move for team solve?

And, for FMC, are little Post-it markers acceptable as stickers?

Thanks
