A 2 day competition in the Western U.S. (Gilbert, Arizona) is currently being organized. The competition will most likely be on November 9th and 10th (Veteran’s Day is the following Monday). In order to make appropriate plans, especially since I expect more out-of-state competitors than usual, I need an approximation of how many people would be able to attend. Any comments and participation is appreciated.

The events will most likely be:
2x2 (2-3 Rounds)
3x3 (3 Rounds)
4x4 (2 Rounds)
5x5 (1-2 Rounds)
6x6(1 Round)
7x7 [(1 Round) Tentative]
3x3 One-Handed (2-3 Rounds)
3x3 Blindfolded (2 Rounds)
3x3 With Feet (1-2 Rounds)
Pyraminx (2 Rounds)
Square – 1 (2 Rounds)


4x4 Blindfolded AND 3x3 Multi-BLD

The tentative events will be added based on scheduling and competitor interest.


EDIT: Added FMC to tentative events
EDIT2: Removed 6x6 and Square-1 as tentative events and made them official (as of now). Also included both Multi and 4BLD

[aceofspades98]

If I can go I definitely will.

 

[cubeflip]

Do you have a delegate?

 

[AustinReed]

Do you have a delegate?

I do. Shelley Chang.

Also, JFly might make it down with the other Bay Area cubers, but I'm not sure quite yet.

Keep in mind, we're still like 3 months out. If anything needs to be sorted out, we have time.

I'll be heading to this most likely. I request trophies and medals and big monies, please.

This comp is now official! See the original post. Also, could a mod remove "Information About" from the title? Thanks.

 

[TheZenith27]

[Rubiks560]

[uberCuber]

If you register it'll be 6

 

[AustinReed]

If you register it'll be 6

Now it would be 7 :O

I'm really happy there's a larger variety of regions that said they will try to make it. That was my goal. As of now, we have more out-of-state competitors than in-state!

Update:

Pre-paying is no longer mandatory. However, it is highly encouraged that you do. See the registration page for more details.
