[Jbacboy]

Omg I might be able to go this year. The hype is real!

 

[Cale S]

I'm definitely able to go, and this year it's a "short" drive instead of flight

only a week after school ends though...

Same! But it's still kind of far for me. Excited that it's in the Midwest

 

[Mattster]

South tehas is 1,100 miles so im like 40/60 for plane/car

 

[WACWCA]

I will probably drive there and fly back or they other way around because we are already going to beach that week starting on that Sunday, so we're leaving right as it ends

IMO this is not fair for everyone, not everyone in the US is lucky enough to have comps in their area with the events they want to qualify in, the increased effort to hold more side events will reduce this ofc, but it won't totally make it fair across all regions, it's sad we have to sacrifice one of the goals of the WCA (fairness) to accommodate bigger competitions

why not include singles too with cutoffs, what if someone got barely above 2 minutes in megaminx, but didn't make the soft cutoff and didn't get an average (lets say the soft cutoff was 1:45 or 2:00), and I know of someone who got a 10.47 clock single but DNF avg, she has a 7.444 ao12 unofficially, is it fair that we shouldn't let this person compete even though they could even go and podium?

Yeah, I wanted to compete in FMC at nats, but I have never competed in it before
