Cuthberts Open 2015 - 26th/27th September (UK)

[CubingwithChris]

So this is my reaction... OMG CUTHBERTS 2015 YES, No skewb ;(, (checks calendar) fml busy that weekend

5BLD, MBLD and FMC are not held at Cuthberts because we have no control over noise levels at it is a public venue. People compete in 3BLD and 4BLD at their own risk and it's highly unlikely extra solves would ever be given unless the distraction was made by another competitor. Also we like to keep things going at a nice pace. Be a bit boring for the public if we were all sitting there doing FMC like it's some exam, and at the end of the day a part of the events purpose is to promote cubing and push people down to Cuthberts to support our sponsor.

Also, the UKCA have bought in an events staggering system so I had to make my event choices based on that.

It's impossible to please everyone.

makes alot of sense actually, i have no idea how ollie pulled off the 4BLD wr last year in the galleria.

skewb is pretty popular among cubers especially in the uk though, could we not fit it into the schedule or is it just a nah event?

also yeeee another comp that is like 3 minutes away from me

Every single competition this year and beyond has had skewb. The staggering system meant that I had to hold SQ-1, Feet and Mega. One comp without skewb won't hurt.

Are you ******* kidding me, how is it we can never go to the same comps. I was actually starting to not hate skewb, back to pyra then .

Very reasonable - I'm sure you'd love to be able to compete in the other blind events if it weren't for the noise! Can't wait until there's a comp with multi and I'll hopefully see you there

 

[DuffyEdge]

Pretty awkward timing for uni students, but I'm pretty confident I'll be able to make it anyway

I'm also glad there's no Skewb

Heh, I guess so. Never got myself to like skewb anyway

also "First Floor, Outside HMV" I remember when HMV used to exist at the Galleria

Can you elaborate on this?

 

[Hssandwich]

Does registration open on the 17th August or 17th September? I assume August but the email says September, so you might wanna change that.

Lol yeah, last years info was used as we needed to announce asap. Details will become more accurate over the next week or so.

When you say email, do you mean UKCA email?

Seems correct on UKCA site.

Yeah, the UKCA email says September, but I assumed it was August though.

After TGN, and ABHC coming up, this may become my third comp in a row where I'll be 'best Dutchman in competition'

I KNOW I SET AN ALARM.

Me too and I'm basically guaranteed a spot.

great minds think alike. Also, registered.

 

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

Registered. Was very close to forgetting registration was this evening, glad I did it as early as I could.

So I assume it's gonna be held in the same place as last year? Not that it matters, I know my way around the Galleria like the back of my hand, so I could find it if it's anywhere different.

 

[ronaldm]

Oh wow, less then 24 hours, and already all 60 spots have been taken!
