Ideas for competition in Central/Northern New Jersey

[JBCM627]

Bob needs to go to the Indiana Open on the 25. But I guess he thinks his parents are more important than cubing.

This is my summer schedule:

7/11 - Minnesota
7/18 - Block Party
7/25 - Parents' 25th Anniversary
8/1 - (Available)
8/8 - (Available)
8/15 - Nationals
8/22 - Vermont
8/29 - Vermont

Whoa that really limits my choices. August 1st or August 8th....

Hehe what about Tyson? You live in New York City where are you going to be on all those dates (besides August 14-16)?

You could also try Ian Winokur.

Sapan should really get added to that list, then it would be pretty comprehensive.

I wonder how well a competition would do the weekend before Nationals. It seems like you would get a lot of local cubers, but you would probably lose a significant number of people who have to travel. Especially since Nationals is 3 days this year.

Ian would probably rather delegate a small competition anyway, so that might work.

That list is also missing Ambie Valdes (Caltech Fall 08), Chris Krueger (Austin 08), and Michael Young (Utah Open 09) and probably a lot more from other countries. I'd say its far from comprehensive.

Aww, I was really hoping Bob (and Tyson) would be here.

Chris Krueger is on the list. He's listed as a Chinese delegate.

Wow how did I miss him when I was looking at the list. I guess I could get him to be my delegate.

And well August 1st is two weeks before Nationals. So maybe people haven't started traveling then?

And maybe if I had a different delegate (ex. Ian Winokur) I could get it July 25 or something like that.

Well, it worked so well when you assumed Bob was free every weekend, so just assume Ian is free also.

Out of curiosity, what is the availability of your venue?

Hey I said maybe.

Availability of my venue? What does that mean? I was planning to use a school gymnasium, and I would have to get the board of education's permission in order to have the competition there. The venue choice is not final so it might not be the gym.

What dates will it be available? As with the delegate, it's not wise to assume it will be available every weekend if you haven't checked first.

Why don't you contact Ian and check with your venue's schedule first instead of idly wondering on the forum? When you have a some more realistic dates to work with, THEN come back and make your poll.

I was surprised I got Ian to come out of retirement for a day to come to Newark, but he only came because he was in New York that weekend. Keep in mind that he does not (typically) travel to New York in the summer because he's a teacher and hence is off during the summer. He currently resides in Massachusetts. Though, if Team BLD was an official event, I KNOW he'd be there.

Yeah I've wanted to do team BLD with Ian for a long time, and I think I might have missed what was my only chance . Newark was just too busy, maybe I'll get another chance sometime...

Oh he lives in MA? Blah I just messaged him a few hours ago. Better message him back saying never mind. So I guess the best date is August 1st.

To be perfectly frank, I have been less than impressed with your organization and handling of things thus far. Generally, most organizers have things like their delegate and date (and location) set as opposed to aimlessly trying to figure it out on an internet forum.
