SS Competition Results
There will be a free set of Izo Stickers for those that register and participate in this competition. So people will get to choose from 6 different colors of 3x3. I won't be selling at the venue this time... because I want to focus more on competing. I think Lubix will be selling? amirite?

I'm happy that Jokerman is coming to this one... am I to blame for this? :P

It would also be awesome to see more than 30 competitors this time... please people, come and compete!
 
K. I do 40-50 seconds on a normal day, so if I go (dad doen't want me to)I hope I qualify.
 
Typically, there is no limit on 3x3 (as that is the event that [almost] everyone enters, so they don't want to discourage people from showing up)
You probably won't make it to the second round though, but everyone took 40-50 seconds at some point, so just keep practicing.

Oh, and you should really convince your dad to let you go. Competitions are fairly cheap, and they are really fun!
 
On your schedule it says that the top 12 will advance in 4x4, but there's no 4x4 final.
The schedule is very rough. Please don't look at that too seriously until we get closer to the competition date.

Excited for this competition! I really hope 4BLD gets added.
I'm almost positive there will be 4x4 BLD at this comp. It will overlap, but you will have the opportunity to do it.

Oh, also what would be the odds of possibly getting a 3rd round of 2x2? :3
It is unlikely considering how tight the schedule is already, sorry.

What is the qualifying time for 3x3?
There is no qualifying time. We may, however, have a cutoff of like 2 or 3 minutes (not decided yet). What this means is you'd get 2 chances to go sub-2. If you go sub-2 on at least one of the first 2 solves, you can continue your solving and get an average of 5. If you can't go sub-2 within the first 2 solves, you don't get a full average. The only reason we do this is so we can keep the competition moving and on schedule. We don't want 1 person doing an average of 5 who takes 5 minutes a solve, because then it prevents everyone else from competing on other events. With this said, no matter how fast you are, you should come and compete and hangout. Meet other people with your interests and have a good time - that is what it is all about.

As said before, you still have a couple months to practice. With a good amount of practice, it shouldn't be too difficult to hit all of the cutoffs. I'd expect around 35-40 people at this competition. During Boulder 2009, we had 41 people.

If you think you're coming, please register! If you decide later you can't come, please shoot us an email. This helps us a lot in terms of organizing the event.
