Cincinnati Open 2008

I might go. I just discovered the WCA website and thought about going to competitions. I obviously won't be the fastest, or close to it. I average about 40 seconds at the moment. I have a month though, sub-30 by then maybe? :D

Do you have to signup to go, and how do you do so?
 
You can pre-register by just clicking on the competition in the competition list and go to that competition specific site. You can just show up and register there if you don't want the hassle of filling out a form. It's the same price in most cases.
 
Oh awesome, maybe I won't be the slowest there lol. :P

Mike: What does your daughter average on the 3x3?

I've got two daughters who are cubing. (The third is just 3, and she's not exactly another Enxi Xie. Maybe in another year or two. :))

The oldest just turned 9, and she probably averages around 1:10 now (she's improved a bit since the last competition. Her profile:

The middle one is 7, and she probably averages around 1:30 (but she seems to do better in competition than at home). Her profile:

Dakota Harris and I, Charles Huynh, average sub-25. Dakota's dipping below the 20 second barrier and I'm getting more and more sub-20 solves. I'll be the Asian with a box of puzzles if anyone wants to meet up and hang out during the competition between events if possible.

One question. Are the competition people going to take away a cube for the initial scramble? If they are, I'm gonna need to find a good warm-up cube or borrow one. Another quick one. If anyone knows, how many people will be permitted to procede to the final round?
 
According to the pre-registration list, his real name is Shaden Smith. I will be Brad.

Haven't preregistered yet as my 2x2 and 4x4 ES' haven't arrived, and do not know if I'll be able to do those good enough in a month. Probably. :P
 
I'll keep an eye out for you pcharles. I'll be the white guy with large hair, probably with some friends. We'll be the group that looks like a bunch of hoodlums probably.

Large hair? You mean poofy? You can't really look like hoodlums at a cubing competition being hosted in a museum. And your real name's Shaden, right?

Poofy would be a good synonym, yes. And yes, my name is Shaden.
 
*Competitors who pay $20 for registration will recieve a t-shirt. These are limited in number, and will be given on a first come first serve basis.

Is there a picture of the shirt anywhere on the registration site?
