Helsinki open 2008

[Kenneth]

HO 2008 is comming up. This will for me be a 36 hours maraton...

There are some Swedes, among these, me, my brother, WCA delegate Anders Larsson and some more, who will travel to the competiton by boat from Stockholm = ca 14 hours of constant cubing if you like me cannot sleep on a ferrry.

The venue is wery close to where the ferry arrives in Helsinki so we will go directly to the competiton, compeat (6-7 hours) and when it is over go directly to the ferry back to Stockholm again = 14 more hours of cubing if you like me cannot sleep on a ferry

On the trip there will of corse be a lot of unofficial compeating...

Anyone who like to come to Stockholm afternoon February 22 and join us on the trip is welcome to do so. It may be hard to find tickets for the ferry if it is a late decission. So you better make up your mind sooner than later.

Of course it is also possible to go directly to Helsinki on Feb 23 and join only the competiton

Too bad, I would have loved to go to Helsinki but I am already registered for the Gdansk open...

 

[Johannes91]

I'll be there, of course.

 

[GreatMind]

I suck too much to go.

 

[Ewks]

I'm going to be there Hope I get better times this time.

I suck too much to go.

I don't think you need to be very good to participate in a competition. Generally it is a lof of fun, you can meet a lot of great people, get some advices if you want and just register a time that will be your next target ... So don't worry about your times, just go for it !

 

[Kenneth]

Well, time to go...

I will arrange unofficial competitons for the Sweds who trawel to Helsinki. There will be 2 of them: Stockholm-Helsinki and Helsinki-Stockholm.

When I'm home again I will report the results here

 

[AvGalen]

Good luck and have fun everyone

 

[Inusagi]

I suck too much to go.

As long as you solve the cube under 10 min., you should go.

The most important thing is to meet other peoples. Getting new friends etc..

 

[Rama]

I hope you guys and girls will get some great times over there.

Snake results are not at WCA but Johannes won (as expected) and had a new WR single of 2.4x (can't remember the last one). The average was not that good because he messed in some of the solves, it was 5,0x. I was second with an average of ca 5.5, my best single was 4.75, both are NR's. Teemu was third but I can't remeber his times.
