I apologise

 

[~Adam~]

You shouldn't. I made a mistake which should've been pointed out.
I'm glad it was and allowed me to make a potato joke.

We has lots of comps these days. Only a few years ago it was a very different story.

2011 - 2
2012 - 4
2013 - 8

Are my numbers correct? I used DShepz profile as my guide =D

We also have meet ups in London roughly monthly.

You should feel sorry for us cubers from 2006-2009. 1 a year in 2006,2007 and 2008

Also, How come you're hosting ABC in a city without 'facilities'

I'll bring my card table and poker chips if you want. I'll deal. Don't worry, I won't cheat ;-)

Spoiler

I used to be a croupier for those who didn't know

Edit - On a serious note I am happy to deal up to 10 man sit and go if anyone is game. The Premiere inn has fruit machines so a low stakes card game could be within their licence. I'll enquire.

 

[LucidCuber]

I'd be up for some poker, It's been a while but I wouldn't mind losing £20-£30

On a serious note, I can go to a competition without gambling you know

The Riley's I used to play at had a minor gaming licence. It allowed up to £100 in chips to be on the table at any one time which is likely to be similar to the hotel. I was thinking a £5 sit and go with 1 optional rebuy within the 1st 3 blind levels could be appropriate. That way nobody can lose more than £10, even if you want to Greg.

Edit - obviously 18+ outside of competition times and venue.

In Australia, we had none until 2010 with at least four competitions a year

Meetups sound good. Hopefully Joey and I don't sleep-in on too much those days

can we expect 16 comps this year?

Should be 9, maybe 10.

We've had 4, got Cambridge, ABC, Cuthberts, and UKC as definite. Probably one in December in Manchester and maybe another in September.

 

[CiaranBeahan]

This might be my next and last comp of the year, I'm more than likely going to miss Cuthbert's due to a match and Leicester is always difficult to me, even though I've gotten there in the past.

But looking forward to ABC anyway! When is it going to be official?

 

[KongShou]

Cannot come because I'm at a Oxford maths camp for the whole week.

Gutted. This is like the 4th comp I'm gonna miss this year.

Good luck to everyone who is going!

 

[CiaranBeahan]

I want to register! When will this have its own page on the WCA website?

 

[~Adam~]

ABC - 3 day UK competition

Soon.

Edit - very soon

 

[~Adam~]

The UKCA page is up. The schedule we're going with is on the 2nd sheet.

 

[kinch2002]

Just waiting for the Board to add it to the website, and then registration will be open straight away. 100 places. £15 to be pre-payed for your registration to be confirmed

 

[CiaranBeahan]

I've paid and registered now. I know it's not refundable but I might not go, at the exact same time also saying that I might go, so it's still 50 50 on me going to this comp.

 

[kinch2002]

Yeah, registration is open if people haven't realised
