@Charles, chances are more than good we won't have enough time for 5x5. If its anything like the spring competition, we will be slightly behind again as it is, and if that happens we will be kicked out of the library with no awards at all. So as of now, NO 5X5.

Not even combined final, best of 1, sub-2? :p

Fine, but only if 4x4 is best of 1, sub-45.

Haha I did consider it. That would be unfair to many competitors though, as it would really only allow a small minority of people (you) to actually take an average. I would say best of 1 for everyone, but this is not a preffered format for the final round of an event.

I am, however, considering adding in M/Magic and/or Square-1 due to requests. Opinions?

Wow, I was totally kidding and I'm surprised to hear that you considered it. XD

Magics are really quick; I don't see why it couldn't be added...

We're in just the early "thinking about it" stages, but yes, my wife and I have been talking about maybe trying to host a competition in the Indianapolis area (probably in Fishers, which is northeast of Indianapolis). We have several ideas for good venues, and I think I can probably come up with a fair number of judges with some work, so it seems logical for us to think about doing it. It probably wouldn't be until very late this year or early next year, and if it's then, there's the matter of it being winter. I was hoping I might talk Jim into being my delegate if we do it - I figure he might like the chance to be in on a nearby competition without having to do all the hard work.

I just figured there are so many people saying they're "waiting for a competition in IL", and we're not in IL, but we're pretty close, so I figured maybe we could get a bunch of those people to come.

I'd be all for it if you held one, Mike. I'd happily delegate, or at the least work as a judge/scrambler/etc. I imagine you'd get a fairly large sized crowd too, as you are a bit closer to Michigan/Illinois, and would still have a good draw from Ohio and Kentucky. (and Indianna ;).)

On another note, Square-1 and M/Magic have been added to the schedule. Its quite full now, so no more requests for events will be considered. Unless you have a good idea for the mystery event :p

alright, i'll ask my parents when the time comes nearer, Fishers is only about 4 hours from me, so maybe my dad will go for it... if hes not working.

I would most likely attend.
 
Gah, I can't believe I have to practice now. My speed cubes haven't been lubed since WC 2005. That's how much I've been practicing. Well... it would be pretty cool do beat my previous best.
 
Tyson, I think it's pretty cool that you're going to compete in all the events. I hope it will be a pleasant change from all the organization headaches you usually have to deal with.

Are you going to compete in Magic, Master Magic, and Square-1 too? You might as well do them all! :)

I agree, I've never seen you do anything besides BLD while you were in California.
 
Going to be there for sure... took care of my work situation. I look forward to actually being able to talk to some of you guys at the competition. Nationals was educational, but it was so loud, busy, and crowded... it was pretty much impossible to have a real conversation with anyone.
 
This might be a bit crowded too, but it shouldn't be as busy or loud. If its crowded, it will be a cramped kind... and would be like that if too many spectators show up.

Stick around for dinner afterwords as well... that is often the best time to discuss cubing.
