Thanks Anthony! So are you going to create a separate thread?

So why the 2:30 cutoff for 3x3 then 2:00 for 4x4 and 1:00 for OH? That 3x3 is awful high compared to others. And can you explain the BLD cutoff thing?

 

[Coolster01]

I really hope I can go...
Thank you, Anthony!

In order to stay on schedule (and hopefully even ahead of schedule) we will not have time to allow competitors who are not able to complete a puzzle within the designated cut-off time to complete an average. I don't mind catering a bit more to novices who would like an opportunity to compete in 3x3, which is why the cutoff is quite generous. A bit more skill will be necessary to achieve times under the other cut-offs, but they are still fair.

The BLD cut-off means that you are allowed 15 minutes of stage time in the event, with a maximum of three attempts. If your first attempt takes you eight minutes, you will only be allowed seven for your next attempt. If your second attempt takes the remainder of your given time, it will be your final solve. If you complete your first two attempts in 6 minutes (total), you will be allowed up to nine on your final attempt.

Sorry guys but my dad said I have to choose between the meet-up and the competition. So I think it's obvious which one I'm choosing. Sorry blake but I won't be at the meet-up See you guys on the 23rd!

It's fine, I figured some people wouldn't be able to go to the meetup because of the competition.

No big deal. I should be at both because the meetup is so close that it basically is non-existent.

Can't go to Hillsdale. Too inconvenient. I wish we could make the meetup official. I really want to go to an official comp.

Making an official comp is way harder than a meet up. It isn't just like "ok we will go here its official". Sorry about that.

I know. But maybe later this year we can try.

You'll need competition experience. Maybe 10 comps with helping out in all of them. It isn't easy.

Ok. Yeah, I need to go to one. I need one closer, Hillsdale is two hours. Plus the date is too inconvenient.

The closest comps you can find are Hillsdale comps. Detroit won't have any more comps. There also are ~4 hour drive (from east Michigan) Toronto comps every season except for fall.

Since this is Hillsdale Winter, I am hoping there will be a spring. Hopefully I could go to that. But I will definitely come to the meet.

Some people would kill for a competition 2 hours away. In the past, Anthony has only held Hillsdale competitions in the Spring. You could talk to him to see if he is planning on holding a competition another season.

It isn't likely he'll do one again until at LEAST fall.

You mean winter, right? He's only held one other one.
