Just talk with me at the competition. ;)

You are missing the point. How can I recognise you? Or should I just ask everyone if they are "ParityErrors"? (I will be wearing a shirt with my name on it and I will continuously be at the location with all those cubes and cubers)

That rule will be broken for sure.

I would love to see you ask thousands of people. ;)
That is no blind date. We cubers are going to talk I suppose, and as I am the only cuber from Essen it will be easy to recognize me. I can link you to a picture of me if that helps. :D

I don't know how I would recognise you "because you are the only cuber from Essen". The picture will help me recognise you, but only when you show up at the cubing area.
 
Because we would talk about where we are from, etc...
I will show up for sure.

Be sure to have a look at the rest of the convention. Bring some extra time.

Aww, I won't meet stefan again :( O well, at least Arnaud will be there :D

It's OK, many of us go for months without meeting Stefan and we live. I assume you met him at the US Open though, right?

Of course, for the past 2 years. It would've been awesome for a surprise break in the lack of Stefan though.

I live about 15 minutes away of the competition, so maybe I will be there. ;)

It takes place at the annually games convention. I will be there for all four days, as every year.

This year I won't compete, but I will be at the competition.

If anyone of you wants to go to an irish pup or anything like that after the convention, just let me know.

I will be at the convention for all 4 days as well and I would like to go to a pub afterwards.
Why aren't you competing anymore?
 
Btw someone gonna celebrate his birthday at GN 008 ( who is that ?), I do hope he will make a SURPRISE record(s) on his birthday , now I have to think about a present foe him ( maybe something from Holland ?)
 
We will have 64 compititors! So it will be a tight schedule with all of the events. We have 14 non-germans, in the qualification to the finals we will make sure that there are 6/8 germans in finals+ max of non Germans.

We plan to do the Rubik's final 1 at a time, for other events we use 6 timers



The qualification are from 10:15 to 13:00, but please be there at 10:00 since we have a lot of competitors. So would be nice if the experience cubers start at 10:15 and assist us.

See you Saterday !
 
Ton said, there are 6, last year we got 4, 2 each table... I hope we got a stage so you got more freedom around you.. I hope everything will be done fluently and without a problem, I hope everybody will be willing to help scrambling and judging, I think there will be some groups like at the german open were, so everybody can help that the competition will work fast.

I can't be there at 10:00 because my train (which I've already booked weeks ago) arrives at 10:02 at the central railway station and in the past it was never a problem to appear a few minutes later at German Nationals.

Of course I will help with scrambling and judging.

It is not a problem if a few arrive after 10:00, it is just a request to make things go smooth, there are now much more compititors.... When most of you are in at 10:00 -at least 12- we can start immidiatly.

I have to work the whole night through and don't know when I will be there.
No need to stress myself to a specific time.
I'm not the fastet either. So it doesn't matter if I compete or not. ;)

As I have been at the location the last two days I can assure you, that it is smoke free. :)


Q

P.S. As I was walking through the hall yesterday I saw those unsolved cube lying around at the competiton area. They are free to try for everyone there.
I just had to solve it. ;)
As I started, one of the employees of Jumbo came to me, saying: "If you can solve it, you can keep it."
Me: "For sure?"
E: "Yes."
Me: "Thanks for the cube." :D
 
Wow, this competition was hectic:
= A lot of people in a very small room
= Huge audience walking among us
= Not a planned time schedule for the morning, anyone competed when he/she was ready
= No time for lunch, toilet, I only had a small drink
= Germans and international competitors together, so we had to make double certificates (except for blindfolded, top 3 Germans)
= It was hot
= With some guys being at two stands (Jumbo and V-Cubes) we had some delays finding the missing guys
= Pim was not able to help us, so Ton and I had to run the show with only two guys
But... we had good help from our friends, especially Rama, Arnaud, Maria, Charlie and Sébastien, but also the others not mentioned.

I hope you had a great time.

Ron
