Is the price for guests the same as for competitors?

Generally guests can come and watch for free.

I'll be there tomorrow!

Is cubing becoming less popular or is it just a bad weekend?
There are only 49 registered competitors where 2010 had 74 registrations…

Reminder: location has changed to:
Bateas Sportcentrum
Dendermondsesteenweg 397
Sint-Amandsberg (Gent)

 

[TMOY]

There are less French cubers registered than the previous years, probably because of the many competitions happening in France this spring.

 

[cuberwillima]

Also, there are no UK competitors registered! (don't know why, prob due to exams?)

 

[Zoé]

I think lots of people also went to Nemo open, which wasn't that long ago, might be why ?

Exaaams... baaah stupid excuse ! I have one on tuesday + one presentation to give in my class the same day + one paper to finish and handle back during the week and I'm still gonna be there tomorrow ;-) (next week is gonna be funky and sleepless though )

I am happy that after so many competitions I finally found a nice solution.
Found it within 10 minutes, then checked it at least 25 times. ;-)

L2 F2 L U2
F L' F' L F2
L U L2 U'
D L F L' F' D'

I also broke my best 3x3 average (from 13.51 to 12.62). Still not great, but at least I improved again.

Have fun!
