I also got a similar error to Keaton when trying to register.

Q: Is the competition open to spectators?
A: Yes, but you will get bored quickly. Very quickly.

I'm working on finding a New Jersey location. The first one I had in mind fell through. Fingers crossed.

OK, so apparently the idea has been done before Nevertheless, it's a cool idea.

Hype...

 

[cubernya]

First ever multi-city competition?
Also: How are awards being done with the many cities?

Sounds like a great opportunity for many people.

 

[goodatthis]

Yes! Really looking forward to this, I couldn't go to MIT FMC because of the SATs this past may, so now I can go! I even checked just to make sure it's not on the same day as the SATs this year lol. Hopefully I'll get a mo3!

 

[Tim Major]

Awesome idea, since you're starting all attempts at once I'm assuming that's done to use the same scrambles? Pretty cool that you might have 150-250 people at an FMC only comp.

Looking forward to my first mo3 at... World's next year

First ever multi-city competition?

Nope: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/c.php?i=FMUkraine2014

Also, China did something similar to this, but each location was considered a separate competition.

 

[Tim Reynolds]

Registration should be fixed now. Sorry for the problems, and thanks for reporting, Keaton.

Added Atlanta; we'll have more details soon.

 

[AlexMaass]

So will everyone have the same scrambles? And will there be separate awards for this for each location or what?

 

[Tim Reynolds]

Everyone will have the same scrambles. We'll probably do separate awards per site as well as overall awards, but this isn't completely decided yet.

Conspiracy theory: Tim proposed this competition so that people would lose their PB streaks and he can keep his WR of 41.

I also think this is true!

Oh, I know he's trying to sabotage me. I'm right on his tail.
