Hey guys, just wanted to pop in real quick and comment on the timers situation. I'm hoping that this competition is the last time we'll need to actually rent timers from the WSSA. We're really close on the money front, and hopefully this competition will push us over. We'll stick with 6...

You can more than likely borrow my V5, since I probably won't be competing in 5x5x5. Oh, and check out the tsc website, Alex Goldberg sent me an updated banner which I think is pretty snazzy.

I'm really sorry about the times; you have every right to be upset with them being changed. The only cutoff time that I think has ever really been enforced is 5x5x5. 3x3x3 and 4x4x4 are usually not that big of a deal, but even then, I shouldn't have done it in the middle like this. I have gone...

We'll have 6 main timers. We can probably use other timers if we do stuff out in the hall or something, but they won't have displays with them.

Do you remember the days when most people took upwards of 6-7 minutes to solve? Well, we held BLD anyway, and it took a long time. But now we have the majority of people solving it under 4-5 minutes per solve, and it doesn't take as long now. Plus, we have more people interested in it. There...

Sorry I haven't been on for the last few weeks. The forums stopped sending me emails when people updated, lol. So it seems a few points have been recurring in this thread, so I'll go ahead and address them: 1. In terms of cutoffs, what we usually do is aim for a certain number of people and...

Just email me at [email protected] . You can also just tell me on the day of the competition. The registration on the website is just so we have an idea of what people are interested in, and so we can save some time in entering everything into the spreadsheet.

In regards to events, they're not set in stone yet. If there is enough demand for square-1 or any other event, we can work it in; just put it in the comments when you register that you would like to do it. The only reason we have 2 rounds of one handed is because people constantly badgered me...

Plus, there still hasn't been a good venue in San Antonio. Even for a competition where there are only 20 competitors, you want a room that can facilitate like... 75-100 people, at least. You gotta think about the families of the competitors, all the extra space we need so that people don't feel...

Maybe; however, it's much harder for college students to book rooms during the summer. By much harder, I mean often impossible.

Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

Sorry Anthony, we already went to your part of Texas. We can do San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston during the summer. Or something like that. We'll see.

HEY GUYS, 2010 Oklahoma Open: http://texasspeedcubing.org/events/2010oklahomaopen.php WCA page: http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/c.php?i=OklahomaOpen2010 Be there or be.... something that isn't a puzzle. (hey, it's spring break, cut me some slack.) Sign up! -Sapan Upadhyay

Wow, I totally missed the ball on this thread. anyway, the results are up, for those of you who haven't seen: http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/c.php?i=SouthTexasOpen2010 Michael, you got DNFed on your MBLD solve. Sorry =/. (though really, if you only attempted 1/2, it's not...

Thanks for all the replies! So it seems the most popular idea everyone has is to cut events, make 4x4x4 one round, and add an extra round for OH. As hesitant as I am, I think we're definitely going to have to cut 5x5x5 from future competitions (at least for the time being). However, I don't...
