Dallas Open 2009

To everyone interested in coming:
I'm working with the Hyatt Regency in Dallas, it's a really nice hotel, but most of the rooms are pretty expensive. If I can get at least 8 rooms for the competition though, they'll give us a big discount on the rooms. So anyone planning on coming let me know. Thanks.

I looked...that place is very expensive. $125 per night. I rarely stay anywhere that will cost me more than $50.

I find it very unlikely that you will get 8 hotel room bookings. $125 a night... how much would they discount it?

By the way, that's ridiculously cheap for a NYC hotel room. I don't think that's possible... the Marriott in NYC is about $300 to $400 for a night... the cheapest.
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WON'T BE THERE!!!

Austin Open comes around, but sadly a family death meant going to Michigan for a funeral, I miss the competition.

Houston Spring comes around, but it ends up not being official.

And now this, but my regular trip to Michigan is in June.
W.T.F.

And this is by far the closest competition, I could probably be there in 35-45 minutes...

I already have 5 or 6 rooms for sure. The discount they're giving puts the rooms at $99 a night, which isn't bad, but is still pretty expensive. But when you factor in that it's right in the middle of Dallas it's understandable. Anyone wanting to compete obviously doesn't have to stay there, but it's an option. I've stayed there before for state chess tournaments and stuff, and it was really nice. Like I said, if anyone's interested let me know.
 
Disregarding my embarrasing cry for not be able t go, I can. I just came to know that I will be in Texas at the time, and I probably will attend.

(Anthony don't worry, I'm not some spam trolling crap-guy. I don't like people like that, and yet I was pretty much that person. Somewhat... >_<)

See ya there.
 
Will Live Results be used?
I could have any friends of mine check the page if they feel like it.

I might actually be able to get a friend of mine to go if he wants. He's not a speedcuber, but he brings his cube everyday and solves it. He's just not 'speed' fast.
Under 3 minutes though, under 2 I'm sure.
 
The live results system used at Worlds and at SF09 requires access to a server with MySQL. I guess you could install LAMP on your machine if you don't have one handy.

I also noticed that they had live results and webcams at the Ohio Open, so maybe we should talk to Jim Mertens about that.
 
I probably won't be using the hotel, because I live 40 minutes away. I'll probably be around for awhile after the competition though, more fun's to be had, right?

@Odin: Is that your name I see on the registered list? Aha, prepare for a 4 hour drive or a really short flight. *assumes driving*

I need to get at least one sub-18 solve when there, it depends on how much I improve between now and then. It's very possible right now, but would I crack under pressure? O_O
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: 20 registered people. :) But the Austin Spring had 44... man I would I could have gone... Well, a month and a half is plenty of time for promotion and more registrations.

Get anyone you know who speedsolves to go! If they can at least solve [the 3x3x3] in the less than 3 minutes, convince them to go!

Yea, I figured as much. So... can someone link me to where I can find more information/download this live results thing? I haven't been able to find somewhere to download it from (yes, I'm being a bit lazy, sue me).

And Shelley, if I remember correctly, you're originally from Richardson..... so why haven't you signed up for the competition yet? :p

EDIT: Oh, IamWEB, it was actually 37 people who competed (I'm lazy and haven't updated the website :/) But yes, everyone, tell all of your friends to compete! The more the merrier :) </end shameless self promotion>
