People who help out are great. I would be lying if I said I didn't go out of my way to accomodate those people on future competitions.

Like giving the scramblers some pizza!

So is 5x5 going to be an avg. 5 format, or a best of 3 like past competitions?

The site says avg. 5

It all depends on where we stand in terms of time. Even if we have plenty of time, chances are that we'll end up resorting to a combined final and only the faster competitors will get a complete average.

But, as we learnt at our last competition, "deep down, nobody cares about 5x5" (at least in Texas).

Great, so I'll stop practicing it!

No no no! Practice 5x5x5! Not 3x3x3 or some other silly kid's puzzle!
Just think: If we do end up with a full round for 5x5x5, just might take 1st!

Small cube events ftw. (2,3,OH,BLD,MBLD)

 

[Ashmnafa]

I prefer small cubes myself. Mainly because I suck at big cubes.

 

[MichaelP.]

I like small cubes, because I can easily practice them, and people can watch in awe for 20 seconds, not 5 minutes.

 

[Ashmnafa]

Speaking of watching in awe, my school loves my cubing so much, they are writing an article about me in it. When it prints, I will post it.

Same POV. I think I like you guys already.
11 days.

 

[Ashmnafa]

11 days is too many.

 

[The3point14]

11 days is not enough! I haven't been able to do but one MBLD practice in the past month! ARGHHHH I gotta get into shape.

How many are you going to attempt to do at Austin?

I vote 7, because the most I'll try is 6.

 

[IamWEB]

11 days is not enough! I'm still waiting on my 2x2x2 to get here! How am I suppose to do good with 2 1/2 months of no practice? I already have to settle for 3rd like in Houston, thanks to Anthony and Weston! XD

Also: That 5-person-online-cube-meet-race-talk-stuff was fun.

Dude, I'm waiting on 2x2's as well so don't expect much from me. I haven't had one since Worlds. I've already forgotten a few CLLs. :/
Although, Justin's sending me one of his, so maybe if I spazz out on 2x2 before the comp...

And yes, racing was fun.

 

[The3point14]

I'll be doing 8 or 9 cubes most likely for multiblind. My practices for 10 have been not so impressive (6,5,7(with pop lol))

I ain't sending you anything

Racing was very fun.

1 month without a 2x2x2 + CLL VS 2 and half months without a 2x2x2 and Ortega.

I need to go insane from the moment it arrives to the moment I do the first solve in competition. RAWR
