Any idea yet as to how many will be in the 3x3 final round? I'm trying to judge if i'll need to stay the whole day or just through my other events which are much earlier

 

[ducttapecuber]

Tonight is the last night to pre-register, otherwise it will be $30 at the door.
See you all there tomorrow morning

-Failed 4x4 really bad, though?
-2nd in skewb even though it was the first time I ever competed in it?
-2nd in blind even though I suck?
-Barely sub-6 avg pyra?
-Pavan and Clark sub-14 OH on the same scramble with the exact same solution?
-Extra round of 2 and 3 because we were way ahead of schedule?
-Everything went wrong for me in 3x3 semi and I still got sub-10?
-But I'm still slow?
-Sub-Rowe 2x2 average by 0.01 (2.42)?
-Even though I just finished learning EG-1 a week ago?
-And my best single in the first round was 3.94?
-Failed 3x3 final but still won?
-Clark was 3rd in 3x3 somehow?
-It was fun?
-I really need some chapstick?

Despite my times...
It was totally awesome!

 

[Zarxrax]

Wow, I should have checked the forum more often. Hopefully there will be another sometime.

 

[ducttapecuber]

Hope everyone had a great time yesterday! It was a huge success and we even were able to have two extra rounds with still time left over.
If anyone would ever be interested in helping out with a future competition in this area, just let me know because I think there is enough interest for the future.
Big thanks to all who judged and helped scramble!
I had a great day meeting everyone

You will have a blast. It is so much fun just to sit around and talk to people who have the same hobby.

Great video Damian!

 

[Cubeologist]

Great video Damian!

Thank you Cady!

 

[Cubeologist]

Hey guys, I was going through my cubes a couple days ago and found an old Zhanchi that is not mine. I think I brought it home from the competition and I feel guilty for having accidentally done so. If anyone is missing a cube like this please let me know and we can work out how to make it right. Thanks in advance.

I actually found out about this competition the day of, and was too shy to go without my friend who was out of town would've been my first competition!
