I will look forward to seeing you competition video, and I hope you enjoy the competition.
 
I'm curious. Before regristration for Nats was changed it was $999. Now it's "just" $99. I read somewhere on Speedsolving that some people hoped the 999 cost would "scare" away kids that yell "Rubric!" Thus saying that although very pricy it wasn't tremendous. My mother said that at $999 nobody would go. If you had plans to go and it was nearly 1000 dollars, would you go?

There is not a chance in the world that I would go for that price. There is so much more that I could do with $1000 then to just attend one competition. I would much rather spend the money and time and go to a few regional championships then to just US Nationals. I had a harder time deciding to go this year with the price being $100, let alone $1000.

Yeah, I wouldn't go for that price. It's too much for a cube competition, and as @cubeshepherd said, there is so much more you can do with $1000. I would probably build a nice editing computer with that, and wait for another comp!

No, I would not. That is WAY too expensive for a comp, at that price I would be able to go to about 50 comps in my area.

It’s always been 99 dollars, not 1000. If it were 1000, no one would go.
 
Have any of you guys played with Cube Explorer? Or Wine? I was just inserting some 2x2 scrambles on Cube explorer (Corners Only) and it was pretty insane the low movecount. I also played with some cool 3 cycles. Have you guys ever tried just playing around. Mabye finding a new U perm or something? I think its crazy fun.

I've never used it, but I will give it a try.

I practice a lot every day, mainly OH. The week before a comp I try not to learn any new algs or anything like that, and I practice my normal amount.

With us being Homeschooled I would assume we all have more free time than the normal person but can you give me an estimate of the time a day? If I practice too much my wrist start hurting. Do you guys have similar problems?
