Competition Attendance Streaks

[cuBerBruce]

In the last 5 weekends, I have competed at Twin Cities Cubing Classic, Fort Lee Winter, Drexel Winter, UPenn Spring, and Ohio Open. So I've competed in WCA competitions in 5 consecutive weekends. Also, since the last one was a Saturday and Sunday competition, I've competed in WCA competitions 6 calendar weeks (Sunday-to-Saturday weeks) in a row.

I was wondering who else has had similar long streaks of competing in WCA competitions.

 

[ShadenSmith]

Cameron Almasi hasn't.

 

[Tyson]

He would if it were the 'registration and failing to show up' record.

 

[Bryan]

He would if it were the 'registration and failing to show up' record.

I also see that Edward Lin seems to be registered for almost every upcoming competition also.

 

[ExoCorsair]

Dan Cohen obviously has.

 

[masterofthebass]

Nope, My best "streak" was 3/4 weeks with Fort Lee, Upenn, Ohio. I was planning to go to drexel, but Bruce would've beaten me anyway.

Wonder if Mike Hughey or Bob Burton has any streaks like that...

Mike doesn't live in area of the world where that's really possible without a lot of travel.

Without doing the research I'd say the people with the best chances of 5 weeks in a row (though I doubt anyone has) are Bob, Arnaud, Ton, Lars, and maybe Takao b/c location is no issue for him, it seems.

They've all been to a ton of competitions and live in areas of the world where they are very prevalent.

Hrmm, I had a streak of 5 weekends (though not 5 calendar weeks because the fifth was a Sunday):
Dec. 7 - Carnegie Mellon
Nov. 29 - Virginia Open
Nov. 22 - Westchester Fall
Nov. 15 - Drexel Fall
Nov. 8 - Newark Open

If we go by calendar weeks, I will have five also next Saturday when I go to Utah (Sun 3/29 and then Saturday 4/11), but notice there is a weekend there with no competition for me.

If someone has been to more, my bet is on Leyan Lo.

But it looks like you would also have to go to the Philippines to match my 6 in a row. Wait, no, you will have 6 calendar weeks in a row with Utah, Bob, even though it's only 5 competitions. Same competitions as me except Utah instead of Twin Cities.

Well, I will have 3 in a row this weekend, and if I go to Utah (possibility, not particularly likely) then it will be 4 . (Is it sad that 4 out of 6 of my comps will be in a row, if this happens?)

You're here for one semester of school and you get 6 competitions... I've only had 4 in my whole life. You have me beat...

if you can, try to go to utah while you're here. i think it might be the most beautiful part of the entire country. it's impossible to cover the whole state and the amazing monument park in southern utah in a short time but everything from the great salt flats to the desert and mountains near slc is amazing.

 

[TMOY]

My longest streak so far is 3 (Montpellier Open 2009; Benelux Open 2009; Belgian Open 2009). I could have done 7 in a row (from Jan 31th to Mar 15th) if I had wanted to travel to Sweden and Finland (or Russia) but I had other plans for the two weekends when I didn't compete.

 

[AvGalen]

I think 3 was my maximum in a row, but if you include cubemeetings......

I don't like being away every weekend. I have a lovely dog that only stays with me in the weekend so I want to be there often
