Just another reminder that if you signed up but did not pay, you are not registered. If you used a CubingUSA login, you should be able to just resume your registration. Otherwise, your entry will need to be deleted. Let me know if you need me to delete your registration so that you can start over.

Liberty Science Center 2012
December 15, 2012
(Probably the last competition in the USA with Magic/Master Magic)

It looks like Arizona Winter 2012 will steal this title from you. The competitions are on the same day, but Arizona will be holding Magics later in the day than LSC.

Ok...I registered so everyone can relax...the slowest person will be me! :-D Good thing is that I will now force myself to practice. As always, I will be happy to help scramble/judge and noted this on the registration.

Just don't be nervous, and don't let the other cubers intimidate you.

 

[Noahaha]

Hold your hands down until the green light appears.

Have fun! Also, if you happen to not do as well as you do at home, don't worry about it, there will be plenty of other competitions.


@Noah This. Someone should have told me this before my first comp. xD

[samchoochiu]

same here! haha

DNFed my second official solve ever

 

[thenerdycuber]

im curious why do people tend to DNF in their first offical solves? and if one of your solves you DNF does that affect your average?

Like I said before, you'll DNF if you don't hold your hands down until the green light appears. It's a good idea to try out one of the timers before it's official if you've never used one before.

A DNF counts as the worst solve in your average, so you can still have an average as long as you don't have two DNFs.

And one year ago this was my second comp
Back then when I sucked really bad at square-1 and didn't care about magics (i got a 1.09 single, that was good enough for me at the time)

save money by pre-registering.

 

[Kian]

don't let the other cubers intimidate you.

I plan on intimidating everyone.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

I plan on intimidating everyone.

You can do so by getting back in the top 100 in the US for 3x3.

im curious why do people tend to DNF in their first offical solves?

Because they suck.

 

[Kian]

You can do so by getting back in the top 100 in the US for 3x3.

But then I'd have to like, practice cubing. That's nonsense.

 

[chris410]

Hold your hands down until the green light appears.

This is good advice, if you have a timer watch some competition videos and practice with a timer so you get used to starting/stopping without mistakes. Beyond that, unless you are one of the fastest cubers go and have fun.

...and try not to get yelled at by Bob!

RAWR!

 

[MirzaCubing]

At least you guys didn't travel over 300 miles to Raleigh and then DNF the average for not starting the timer ._.
