Weird comp. I honestly hope the number of competitors are under 100, so we can hold tentative events That's just me though.

I wish I lived in Georgia, where there are actually comps nearby that you don't have to drive for 4-5 hours to get to.

I'ma try and go events list is God tier

 

[myung97]

If megaminx is likely to be held I'll probably go, especially if there's 2 rounds.
I just need to find a way to get to the other end of the east coast lol

 

[henrysavich]

Yea, looking at this it seems extremely unlikely there will be 4th rounds of 2x2 or pyra (2x2 is more likely but still the chances aren't great.

Even if this is the biggest Georgia competition ever, and registration fills (I believe 150 would be a new high). That still requires 2/3 of people who signed up to compete in pyra or 2x2, which is an unusually high percentage. Atlanta open had 100 competitors, and only 49 competed in pyra. If we take that ~50 % and apply it to 150 competitors, w 're still only looking at 75, which isn't enough for a 4th round.

Besides competitions, I don't find living in Georgia to be very pleasant. Weather is inconsistent, and it's just too damn hot during the summer. I would much rather live up north, specifically LITH, IL.

Another Georgia comp? You guys are ridiculous.

If you hate hot summers, why don't you come on holiday to the UK? We have a wide variety of weathers. There is cold weather, rainy, stormy, dank, haily and the occasional bit of sun.

It's out of my control. Due to money constraint, I am unable to take the summer off.

I dont hate warm summers. I just don't want the temperature to be 90 degrees+.

Looks like I'll be able to go
Aiming for 1st in pyra, and 2nd in everything else behind Daniel.

Can't come

Just letting you know, Atlanta would have had 130+ if we hadn't limited it. Still, I really doubt a 4th round could happen.

Seriously? Now how am I going to podium?

lol, well I'm not 100% sure I'm going yet, we'll see

 

[b0ssGuy23]

I honestly have no idea if I'm going yet. Looking at the date and competitor limit, I have no rush whatsoever. I'm honestly not too motivated with the 3 or 4 rounds of Pyraminx.

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

hmm. should I go to this or nats?

 

[b0ssGuy23]
