Harvard Fall 2013 - October 5, 2013

[Noahaha]

74 people signed up for CCFC and I was 36th on the 3x3 psych sheet. Now 89 people are signed up for Harvard, and I'm 21st without improving my official average.

Oh, Noah you never did accept or decline my bet, just sayin'

Oh... I guess I'll accept.

Yay! XD

I've never been to a competition before. Can anybody tell me what time the competition would start and if the 3x3 competition would be near the end of the event? Thanks

I wasn't planning on competing this time anyway. I'm half way through learning full OLL and it's a pretty awkward time in my solving. I just wanna go and see how it works and hopefully in the Spring I'll be ready. Thanks

If you can solve a cube, you're ready to compete. I really encourage it.

If I had known about the competition before the double in registration price I would have been more likely to register. It's too late at this point either way but next time there's a competition in the Boston area I'll be ready.

It's not too late. $10 is pretty average for an entry fee. Just register at the venue.

There will be a competition in Lexington in November. You can always check the WCA site to see upcoming comps.

One of my friends, Alese, who is not a member of the forum, lost a speedstacks timer at the competition. Please let me know if you find one that isn't yours so I can convey the information to her.

 

[Noahaha]

I won.
