Oakland University Competition?

[TheNextFeliks]

Today was weird. This kid came and gave me rubiks brand cube. He has a bunch. It is not the best but I can use it to warm up.
Anyway, he told me that he signed me up for an official competition in December. It is at Oakland University. Can someone verify if there is one. It is not the WCA page, I checked.
Sorry I don't where to put this thread but it is comp related so whatever.

Weird Thing

That is strange. You're getting offerings already? Unofficial comp for his speedcubing club?

Might i suggest that you ask the wierd kid?

I asked if it was official and he said yes. I asked who was running it (I figured it was Coolster01 as he is close by I think). He said it was some guy at the university.

It's probably a joke

Yeah probably. I just wanted to check.

Could be a non-WCA "competition". Could it be a Rubik's competition... like one of those where you have to use a Rubik's brand?

Would he even know what you mean by "Official"?

You Can Do the Cube hosts school competitions that are not affiliated with the WCA.

I just went onto that website. I think WCA would count as a 'not for profit" school or organisation with at least 25 members in the northeast.

I also read this.

We think a very competitive speed is under 2 minutes.

Even if we need to use rubik's brand cubes, Anyone who forms a WCA team would wreck thier Idea of a rubik's cube regional compitition.

Wait so I'd have to make a team to compete? That's stupid... How many people? But I don't think this is gonna happen, probably a false alarm.

I highly doubt it if you didn't know about it.

if not a wca team would still make a killing.
