Yikes those are some steep cutoffs.. don't know if I can do it

 

[JustinJ]

Whoo! I'm pumped!

I was hoping to place in 2x2, but I dunno, if out of towners can place...

4x4 and 5x5 finals are gonna be intense with only 6 people.

Those cutoffs seem fair to me.
Wish i was in canada, none of the competitions ive been to ever had 35$ giftpacks. )';

Dan Cohen's competition this week has a square-1 cutoff of 35 seconds compared to the 3 minutes listed for Canadian open. d:

[Kit Clement]

So, how many more Canadian competitions do I have to go to before I'm considered a Canadian?

On the Saturday night, we will have food for dinner for the competitors and guests. We will also use the opportunity on Saturday to have some fun mystery events at certain points in the evening, so be sure to come to participate.

Not my fault they're all on poorly chosen dates. >/

Derrick, don't focus so much on winning. Just come for the experience, to have a good time, see some old friends, and make some new ones. If you switch your focus to the act of enjoying the moment and not constantly worrying about how you are doing in terms of your own expectations, you might just find you surprise yourself. But if nothing else, you will have left at the end of the weekend with a smile on your face. You don't have to be the best, but you do need to enjoy yourself.

And on a different note, i hope we get some people come out on the Friday night to hang out at the hotel. I'll be there.

 

[Kit Clement]

I should be able to be there the Friday night, but depending on my schedule/workload that day this may change.
