[shelley]

Don't see a thread for these yet. For anyone who doesn't already check speedcubing.com five times a day, the Berkeley and Caltech Fall 2008 tournaments have been announced.

Berkeley Fall is November 15

Caltech Fall is November 22

Dang; I only check it four.

If I could only go to one, which should I go to?

I kinda feel like a jerk for not saying ill go to berkley for sure when its a 4-5 hour drive when others are willing to come from out of state or even from another country. ehhh ill probably end up going.

why would you not compete if you're planning on changing your vacation plans to come early? Even if you think you'd be the slowest one there, I still dont see any reason to not compete, unless you're like.... trying to save $5
