Hillsdale Winter 2012

[Yuxuibbs]

mmm, I want to go to this. I feel like I haven't gone to a competition in agesss. 3.5 hours means I would have to leave the house at 5 am (no...), so I guess this would have to be a "hotel competition" for me if I went.

I feel kinda weird if I ask someone to pick me up, since I'm only in high school, but yeah, chicago.

You could try to come by train or something? Try to find the closest city to Hillsdale and figure out a way to get there? I know from Chicago to Ann Arbor is like 30-45 dollars (but it takes a really long time to get here, all night maybe?).

Nah, I hope be driven by one of my parents, but they think hotel = too far. I've already stayed in a hotel for a competition once though, and it was in a hampton, and the total cost of the whole trip was a lot. I'll definitively be driven there though, since I can't drive yet. Good thing this comp is still far time wise, I have a ton of time to plan

Since BLD is from 9:00-9:45 and I don't plan on doing BLD, can I show up around 9:30 and still register even though registration is technically open only from 8:30-9:00?

Thanks to Ryan for telling me about this!

Hmm... ~4 hours is a long way! If I'm lucky I could work something out. My dad would never take me here, so I have my only cuber friend's dad as an option. But I may have to see what weekend I'm heading over to my mom's place in Indiana because it could work out nicely if it's the weekend of this competition.

My opinion probably doesn't count for much, but if any tentative events were to happen, I'd vote for Square-1 and Pyraminx because I hope to have those puzzles sometime soon.

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

95% going, now. It will be a short forever until the competition, so I hope I can handle waiting.

 

[gbcuber]

Registered! Can't wait to meet everyone at my first comp!

 

[Yuxuibbs]

Can we add Magic as a tentative event? We can probably stuff it in with BLD since it doesn't take that long to do. 4 mins tops for each person?

Edit: and I don't have a WCA profile yet. There's a mistake on the registered competitors list. It says I'm a boy....

EDIT2: Ohio Fall just got posted so I have a WCA profile. It's 2011CHEN54

When on your WCA Profile page, click on your name, it'll lead you to a page to upload an image, they review the image before uploading it, so it isn't instantaneous...


I am 100% going to this competition! Woo! My entire family is from Michigan, so I've got places to stay, plus no Friday classes next semester so having a tight schedule isn't an issue!

I'd like to suggest Either Skewb or Pyraminx should we end up with extra time at the competition

See you all there!

 

[asportking]

Darn...closest competition to me yet, and I can't go. Ah well, if there's ever a Michigan one in the summer, I'll make sure to go to that.

I am 100% not going to this competition! Noo! My entire family is from Michigan, so I'd have places to stay, but I'm in high school and couldn't possibly get there with such an issue!

It will probably happen .

 

[emolover]

Ugh... 3.5 hour drive... I want to go but that is a long trip. I guess I could speed my way there in less than 3 hours if I tried.

I vote for megaminx and 4x4 as tentative events.

4x4 is already an event.

 

[emolover]

4x4 is already an event.

Oh... I overlooked that.

Edit: I registered. Need to get BLD successes.

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

Registered. I'd like to have 5x5 as a tentative event, if possible.

 

[emolover]

Is there anyone that is looking to trade a white V-cube that is really loose and is hopefully the same quality as my black really loose V-cube?

*groans* The father of the friend who I am going with if I'm even going at all (obviously this man will be taking us there) is a complete moron. Not only was he aware of this competition at least 2 weeks ago, but when asked about it again he said to my friend "March? When did you ask me anything about March?" And later said that he doesn't plan more than 2 weeks ahead and that I'm stupid for attempting to do so. If my friend can't go... Anyone willing to come down to Joliet and pick up a 13 year old boy? I can probably pay for some of the trip depending on what you want

Joliet is in our route to get to Hillsdale. We would be staying in a hotel though Friday and Saturday night though.

 

[Yuxuibbs]

Just wondering, is anyone selling stickerless dayans? Don't really care which dayan unless it's a guhong (only because I have 2, might trade with pink guhong that's modded?).
