Five hours and 45 minutes away from me! I won't be going to this one

Clock will probably be gotten rid of for some other event.

Is David not going?

Is there anyway Ilkyoo would think about 2 2x2 rounds?

 

[TEGTaylor]

maybee....... I have to check calender, and get a ride of course

David's back in MO. 2x2 sucks, learn to live with it.

Magic, but no MM?

And I'm guessing Clock-> Sq-1

I may be there.

That's what I was gonna guess. I'm down with Square-1 also though. But 2x2 Final would probably fit in the 15 minutes which I'm not sure Square-1 would. Pyraminx would probably fit (even though I hate pyraminx).

 

[Bryan]

OK, so 2x2 is a combined final, which seems kind of weird, but Magic as a combined final?

 

[Edmund]

I'm pretty sure it said both.

I've noticed Ilkyoo changed rooms in the building once again (I think). I hated the place last time. It was a good size and stuff but terrible lighting. The room for last year's fall comp was pretty good.

Rutgers v. West Virginia game that night, I won't be able to make this one.

 

[JBCM627]

2.5 hours away? I should be able to make this...

Also, only 15 minutes for registration/setup seems really rushed. Will setup occur before 10?

 

[mcciff2112]

Yes! I will be there for sure.

 

[Edmund]

Looks like Square-1 was added.

 

[Ilkyoo Choi]

Oh man, a number of posts already. Here we go, a bunch of replies. I'm always open ears, so any suggestions/comments are welcome.

Is there anyway Ilkyoo would think about 2 2x2 rounds?

Most likely there will be an extra hour or two, as usual, so I can always execute more events. However, I will prefer having 6x6, 7x7, 3x3OH, square-1 instead of a second round of some event.

Clock will probably be gotten rid of for some other event.

So clock is staying for now, it's a short event.

Magic, but no MM?.

MM is going to happen, the WCA website just didn't have it.

OK, so 2x2 is a combined final, which seems kind of weird, but Magic as a combined final?

Well, it's doubtful that I'll cut people off for MM, or even magic. My cutoffs are really generous, mostly because I want students in my Rubik's Cube class to participate in as many events as possible. The cutoff for 3x3 first round is 10 minutes If you didn't hear, the competition is really laid back.

I'll make the sure the room is good this time. Last semester's room sucked, the tech people at my school really disappointed me.

You should add those times to the page, so that people know what they are instead of having to guess if 4x4 is going to have a 1:00 cutoff or a 10:00 cutoff.

And you should have a link to the registration page near the top. This will avoid people having to look at that page longer than needed

 

[Edmund]

Ilkyoo can you add that I'm doing Square-1? Thanks

I just wanted to nominate this competition in the Worst Website Ever category.

Also, does anyone know if Gilles van den Peereboom is actually coming or did someone just register him because they thought it would be funny? I ask because we have had one disgruntled ex cuber submit a lot of false registrations at our comps in the past.

But if he is coming, that would be aces.

Some of those cal/tech sites could give it a run for its money. Mm?

They need to borrow some Stanford Awesome.

By the way, of course CMU would use AFS. Whom do I high-five for that?
