Indiana 2013

[MaikeruKonare]

If you want to help judge most of the day show up a bit earlier than 8:30 and find me and we can go over some judging stuff.

I'm competing in everything but 7x7, can I still help judge?

 

[Mike Hughey]

This is largest KOII comp outside of Nats 2011, isn't it?

Yes.

If I remember right, we're on par for largest comp in the US in 2013 excluding Worlds, right?

Yes.

From the looks of it, if it weren't for Canadian Open having 117, we'd be largest excluding Worlds for North America!

I believe there are 2 Canadian competitions this year bigger than us. At least, I hope we finish up smaller than them, or it will be a disaster.

If you want to help judge most of the day show up a bit earlier than 8:30 and find me and we can go over some judging stuff.

Actually, please don't show up before 9:00 unless you've been contacted as official staff. I will have sent you a personal message if you are in that category. There's nowhere for James to meet someone before or even at 8:30. Please don't overwhelm the library before 9:00! The library doesn't open officially until 9:00. Unless you're on staff, you should wait until 9:00 and enter in the front door of the library to register. A couple of years ago we had problems when cubers were trying to get in the library through the back door and weren't supposed to be there yet. Please don't let that happen this year.

Perhaps I can set up a location on the side during 5x5x5 where we can instruct people how to judge so they can help out. But I would prefer to have experienced judges except when we run low on them. I will call for help over the microphone when we need it. Most of the time, the staff should have things mostly in hand.

I'm competing in everything but 7x7, can I still help judge?

I will contact you separately - you're a special case. Yes, you can help - I'll give you the details sometime in the next day or so.

 

[SirWaffle]

Haha same here! Except for 3bld, hopefully we're in different heats then

Haha. Yeah, hopefully.

 

[Michael Womack]

Okay, so I am pretty sure this is all the stuff I promised to do so if I am forgetting you let me know! (also this is kinda a reminder for myself)

Torpedos for Michael Womack
Lending a 4x4 to kingtim and selling him my zhanchi.
selling my lingyun to Nathan dwyer
trading a v2 to sarge for a mirror block and giving him dayan hardware
Selling a blindfold to Michael Conrad
And the most important thing of all, giving Chris a hug!

Okay, so I think that is it for anything really important but if I am forgetting you let me know!

Don't forget to sign my Speedstack mat.

Don't forget to sign my Speedstack mat.

I want to sign it! Can I sign it in another language?:3

There's not going to be room to move in there, much less to tackle anyone.

 

[MaikeruKonare]

Pssh, there's only going to be 103+ competitors and their families.

Don't be a killjoy

 

[XTowncuber]

Ok go ahead and tackle him.

 

[TeddyKGB]

Ok go ahead and tackle him.

There will be no tackling inside the library...

I hope I don't fall over and die. I'll be doing an 8 hour drive the afternoon after I finish a 80 hour work week. Then I'm going to drive back right after the competition ends then be at work by 5am the next morning. #Hardcore #yolo #nopainnogame

 

[kfischer0924]

I can't wait for this. I've been seriously cubing for about six months now, this is my first WCA competition.

Holy Sh*t, where do you work?

A bakery, a Korean one at that.

Wow - stay safe. Perhaps you can find a nice quiet spot in the library and nap a bit in the afternoon, after OH and before finals or something?

 

[God]

Only 2 days left! I am so excited for this comp. I feel like I am going to get nervous though, since the comp ended up being so big.

You created the world in seven days and you're worried about getting nervous because of a big Rubik's cube competition?
