Battle of Waterloo 2013

[Sa967St]

65% chance I'll be going.

Dear Canadians,

I still remember when Canadians invaded Carnegie Mellon Fall 2009.
It's my turn to invade Canada!
Except I'll probably be the only Korean.
Please be nice and say hi.

Ah, the Carnegie Mellon Fall 2009 invasion... good times.

Most of the Canadians who were at that competition in 2009 will be at this one. Greg French doesn't seem to cube anymore, and Brendon Hemsley doesn't know whether he can get off work that day.

I find it funny how we're talking about invasions in a competition whose name is a pun on a war battle.

Are any of the MN cubers going?
Note that the competition is on a Sunday..

None and I don't have a passport thingy. :/

Is it even possible to get a passport that fast?

My girlfriend applied for one this summer and got it in two weeks. I think six weeks is their max allowed time, but it's a pretty conservative lead time.

Update: The room has been changed from MC 2017 to MC 1085. See OP.

That company got an F from the BBB. I would recommend paying for the expediting service and getting overnight shipping both ways for the fastest passport. Or, if you have proof that you need a passport within 2 weeks, you could drive to Chicago or another passport agency and walk it through and get it in a day.

 

[Exsufflicate]

Will be attending.

why are there no cut off times listed?

 

[antoineccantin]

why are there no cut off times listed?

Because the schedule isn't posted yet...

 

[Ross The Boss]

Because the schedule isn't posted yet...

cut off times for the canadian open were posted long before the scheduled was.

 

[antoineccantin]

cut off times for the canadian open were posted long before the scheduled was.

Cutoffs are posted at the same time as the schedule at 90% of Canadian competitions.

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

Cutoffs are posted at the same time as the schedule at 90% of Canadian competitions.

In addition to that, I believe cut-off times were posted earlier for the Canadian Open due to the number of (expected) participants.

 

[Cubetastic]

Probably won't be going QQ
