Dallas Open 2011

[Tall5001]

competitors have to pay but it is free for spectators

 

[cannon4747]

okay thanks (i told them so!)

Just an FYI, while parents and spectators are welcome, the space is relatively small, so it would be very helpful if you bring fewer family members over more.

 

[Squadala]

Awesome, I'm so excited! I've been dying for a competition in Dallas since I started cubing a few years ago.
I'm gonna have to get a new Magic though. :/
Oh, and do you have pics of Toy Maven? Just curious what it will look like.

Looking forward to it!

Just a note: As of now, we have 36 registered competitors! Just over 2 weeks to go... gotta practice, gotta practice.

Hey everyone,

I was just making my certificate as a template, and I thought I'd share it with you all. Thoughts on this?

I'm not sure if I can put the venue's logo there (we'll see...), but that's what I made today.

BLUE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR!

EDIT: I'm gonna fix up the logos a bit, thanks Casey.

This is great William. I have no plans currently as far as certificates so I'm happy to use this. I don't know if their are any problems my inexperienced eyes missed though.

So ready for this event..

 

[convinsa]

I really want to come but idk if i can we will see!

 

[IamWEB]

In dire need of OH practice, but can't stop 3x3x3 practice with GuHong... 1 week to go o_O.

Lunch
Alright, the competition is in a shopping center type thing with a couple of restaurants. I got everyone who goes to Purple Cow (more for younger people but decent food, burgers, chicken fingers, fries, shakes, ext.) a 15% discount if you say you're from the comp. I'll try and do the same for the nicer mexican restaurant next door (Cantino La Redo *sp?). See you guys soon

 

[IamWEB]

Hahaha, a purple cow.
Looks like I could be trying some of there food, nice discount you got there.

2 DAYS! o_O!

 

[Evan_Frame]

I am pre-registered but I work 5pm to 7am 2 hours north of Dallas, can you trust that I will make it there by competition time? I will be the guy who looks tired.

2nd Edit: Changed mind. Too much driving + too tired is not a good combination. Have fun everyone.

 

[IamWEB]

Late to sleep, early to wake. Today there will be many records I brake.
My rankings will leap, it'll be a piece of cake. So many competitors! Which seat can I take?

I'll see you there!
Be there and solve square?

 

[cannon4747]

make sure to post results either on this thread or include a link to the results

 

[Squadala]

That was a lot of fun today, and it looked like a great turn out. It was nice meeting some of you guys!

 

[Anthony]

I scrambled more cubes this competition than I probably had my previous 21 competitions combined.
Fun though, and a lot of new faces.

Results wise...
Jeremy had a 17.4x OH average (could have been sooooo much better.)
I had a nonlucky 14.96 OH single.
Nothing else "spectacular" really, but we had quite a few decently fast people. :3
Only sub 10 was a 9.97 I got and my averages were total crap. -.-
Oh, I won 2x2 with a sub 4 average that had a counting 6.81. FML.
2.36, 2.52, 2.4, 6.81 (messed up layer), DNF (could have been fast... internal pop).

Jfly will probably have results up tonight. kbai

 

[fastcubesolver]

sooooooooo close for 2x2. Other than that wee misshap, great job Anthony!
