Competition in Texas

[cwdana]

I JUST booked a flight back home to VA for Labor Day weekend. Looks like I cannot attend either

Bad timing.

I was even thinking of going to LOTSofSLOTHS November comp in Williamsburg, VA (since "home" for me is actually Virginia Beach, VA) but, again, bad timing. His will be 1 week prior to my arrival in VA for Thanksgiving.

Shucks.

Allright, so I've given it some thought, and apparently, 2 weeks is not enough time notice for anyone to seriously consider coming to this competition (duh). Therefore, I am postponing this competition until later this semester. That way there's at least a better chance of people being able to come to this competition. I will let you guys know when it is. Thanks for the feedback.

Excellent. Look forward to the update.

Hi guys,

We announced a while back that we were going to have a competition in Austin around Labor Day weekend, but we had to cancel it because of some problems with scheduling with the venue. Well, those scheduling problems have been taken care of, and on top of that, our competition is going to be official! It will take place at the University of Texas at Austin on November 1, 2008. All the information is available at http://texasspeedcubing.org/2008austinopen.php

So you may be wondering to yourself, "Hey, why would I want to come to this competition?" Well, here are a few reasons:

1. You go to UT Austin and want to meet and compete against other speedcubers.
2. You live in Texas and want to compete in a speedcubing competition.
3. You don't live in Texas, but would like to travel to Austin and
experience the greatness of the town (if you're over 21, 6th street is
a great hangout ).
4. You just like speedcubing and want to support us.

Since UT Austin is a huge university, there's a lot of potential for a good crowd. Plus, it will be nice to have another official competition in Texas.

So if you're interested, please register and come to our competition! All the information should be on the webpage. If you have any questions/suggestions, please email me at [email protected].

Thanks,
-Sapan

Hey guys,

So I wanted to give a last minute update to anyone planning on coming to the 2008 Austin Open (which is this weekend). I put a lot of information on http://texasspeedcubing.org and http://texasspeedcubing.org/2008austinopen.php about the competition, including information about parking, getting to the venue, etc. If you are coming to the competition, I highly recommend you read the information on the website. And I encourage everyone to come, even if you're slow. Competing in a competition is a huge motivator to becoming faster, and it's a lot of fun as well.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to either email me ([email protected]) or reply to this thread. Thanks, and happy cubing!
