Hong Kong Cube Day 2023

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

I have just learnt all G perms today, and I only have R perm and V perm left. Still 2 weeks before the comp, so I can probably learn full 1 look PLL before the comp!

I've learnt R perm just now both Ra & Rb, and I have got V perm left. what V perm alg should I use? (I will be able to do full one-look PLL after learning V perm)

It happened to me. I was on the waiting list and then I got confirmed. But that competition had 200 people and I was first on the waiting list, so it is not common.

This comp has 190 ppl and I’m first on the waiting list as well

You will most likely be accepted onto the competitor list

In New York Yopen 2022, my friend was like, 6th on the waiting list, but still got in because they had so many people on the waiting list that they just increased the competitor limit.

Good luck though!
Next time I suggest being ready to put your information in, and if wondering what events to do, just select all events with the "all" button, then you can always change it after you pay and are in.

Actually they have already increased the limit from 160 to 190 and they said it is hard for them to further increase the limit

Hopefully someone cancels then.

I'm still on the waiting list and I'm quitting cubing if I cannot join.

DON"T QUIT PLEASE!!!

But then how can I wait for another 4 years for the next cube comp in Hong Kong? Last comp in Hong Kong was in January 2019, and next will be in 2027

How about you organize one yourself. It doesn't HAVE to be four years. You can organize one to be in a few months.

How, I don’t even have a WCA ID

You don't have to have a WCA ID to organize you just email your nearest delegate.

There is only ONE delegate in Hong Kong

 

[Cubinginatree]

There is only ONE delegate in Hong Kong

Then email them.

EDIT: I'm sure they would love to compete too.

Actually I’m in the first place of the waiting list and the comp has 190 cubers but it is taking place in less than a week

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

I feel so bad. I’m in the first place of the waiting list and now I’m rejected. I will have to wait for another 4 years for the next comp in Hong Kong.

You’re going to miss the comp, but you’re also moving to the Netherlands in 17 months so it’s ok

Seriously this might be a good idea. I feel no hope in this place and I think I will just leave once I graduate and get my CPA license.

Anyway I will try to keep myself proactive. I have just received the magnets for my speed tuttminx. I can relax and magnetise my puzzles instead of forcing myself to learn a bunch of algs.

Wait why would you have to wait four years? The only reason there was a gap between 2019 and 2023 was coronavirus right?

Not only because of the pandemic. Hong Kong has completely turned into a mess since mid-2019 (u'll know what I'm talking about if you watched the news about Hong Kong at that time). It's a long story but tbh at this point I just don't think anyone here would be willing to stay for any longer if they can leave. It will be a lot more easier for me to leave once I charter my CPA license.

You mean the protests?

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

You mean the protests?

Yep. Some major local press here are forced to shut down by the authority. We don't even know till when we can watch YouTube videos (YouTube is not allowed in mainland China). What's wrong with me watching Z3 Cubing magnetising fun puzzles on YouTube?

I don't mean to insult any Chinese on here, but their government has an inferiority complex.

I just don’t understand why there are 1.3 billion people who were required to queue up for hours twice a day to do the covid test
