Indiana 2012

I'd like to go, but the guys I had been planning on going with may end up stuck with other commitments.
Is anyone travelling through Michigan possibly taking a route not too far out of the way of Hillsdale, MI?
 
I guess 15/19 WCA events isn't enough for most people. By the way, Mike, I can come early and help set up if you are interested. I can also scramble for 6x6/OH/all BLD and judge most events if you are in need of more.

Thanks, Ryan. I'll probably take you up on judging and scrambling. I shouldn't need help with set up; we're able to set up the room the day before, and we're not supposed to let people in early.
 
I'll be there :D
2x2 , 3x3, magic, master magic, pyraminx, clock .

May do more, but I don't really practice big cubes lol

ALSO if anyone has a good Clock they would like to sell, I haven't been able to order a single good one online, so I'd be interested.

I would assume 4x4 and 5x5 BLD would be on the stage where they had Multi-BLD last year but I don't know.

Yes, 4 and 5 BLD will be over on the stage, while the other events will be in the main room. It will likely still be quite noisy and a bit distracting, but at least there won't be much traffic around you while you're solving.

If you weren't doing fewest moves as well, you might have an advantage, since things will probably be quieter while that's still going on. If you finish fewest moves early, we can get you started as soon as you finish, for what that's worth. Once 3x3x3 speedsolve starts, it's going to probably get rather noisy. If you're doing everything (which is true for most of the big BLD competitors), I'd recommend that you go on to 4x4x4 BLD or 5x5x5 BLD as soon as you finish fewest moves, then do 3x3x3 when you're done, if you don't take the full hour for fewest moves. But if you do take the full hour for fewest moves, then it might be best to do 3x3x3 first, then do big BLD afterwards. We will try to move you as fast as possible, but you will not be allowed to start a big BLD attempt after 12:30. For those of you doing everything, I'm basically going to allow you to do 3x3x3 whenever you're ready - your scorecard will be available at the start of the round, so just place your 3x3x3 on the scorecard when you're ready to compete in 3x3x3.

In case you're wondering what my personal situation is, I'm planning to do only as many big BLD attempts as I can get done before 3x3x3 starts, and then I'm going to quit, and not do any more attempts unless we finish 3x3x3 ahead of schedule (which looks somewhat unlikely to me).

Can't I just to Big Cube BLD and somebody tells me when I am called so that I don't have to waste a very long time?

EDIT: I am not competiting in FMC by the way. I think I get it that I can do 3x3 before if I want though, so no need to respond. I just had to reread that message

I probably use no more than 15 minutes for fewest moves so I plan on doing a 5BLD right after I finish and then seeing where I am time wise. I might have time for a 5x5 BLD and a 4x4 BLD before 3x3 starts though. I am fine with not doing all of my big cube BLD attempts; I doubt I will have the time or motivation to do them all anyway.
