Interest for a Competition in Central NY?

[cubernya]

I will finish off the schedule tonight, and possible change it down the line when we know how many people will show for sure.

 

[Tim Reynolds]

Have you contacted Bob yet? You should if you want this to happen, since he would have to go for it to be official.

 

[JyH]

Will go if official.

 

[cubernya]

I'll contact Bob in a minute to see if he can come.

Just finished talking to Andy to sort out the schedule more, so hopefully it's coming together.
Still have to contact my school to see if I can get the rooms for the competition.

 

[Kian]

Yeah I haven't contacted him yet, but I've heard Bob has lots of timers.

He's gonna have to fight me to get them back...

 

[cubernya]

*cheers for Bob*

I also just contacted him, so I'll wait for a response and if he says he can come I will contact my school Monday.

If all that is set then I'll submit it to the WCA for it to become official

I know this isn't the perfect place to ask, but is there any plans for a NYC/NY comp in late October? I'll be there for a week just after WC (probably 19th-26th or something).
I got excited by this and then I saw November

Aussies are welcome to come...just stick around a little bit lol

Late October to November 12 (might be 13th) isnt that much longer

It isn't too likely, as that will be the transition period to VCE (last 2 years of school), so whilst I'd love to, I don't think I'll get to.

Andy, if you're still reading this thread, clear out your PMs so I can reply

Where would it be exactly? I just wanted to know how far away it was from PA...

And if I can, I will definitely come! Sounds great, and I love the events. Hopefully I will be sub-15 by then!?

You can count me in, if I can convince my parents! But I will ask in a few months, or when it's official. But sounds awesome!

Venues in NYC are so expensive. I will host a competition in the fall not far from the city, but across the Hudson in Jersey.

Bob why are you up at midnight (yes I know I am too)

For those of you wondering, it'll be held in a small town called DeRuyter

Also, Bob says he probably won't be the delegate, so we'll have to find someone else.

 

[Bob]

I'm on vacation. I don't go back to work until September.

Midnight is not really late, even for if someone had work the next day.
On topic: I think your only other choice is Tim, but I have no clue if he has timers and stuff.

 

[cubernya]

I know midnight isnt late

Just contacted Tim, hope he has timers and matts

Have you been looking at http://www.cubingusa.com/cguide.php ?

mbld and fm are events that not many people do, but if you want you can keep them. remember you dont have unlimited time.

o and btw, im coming.

 

[cubernya]

Mbld is a definite. FM might go, it all depends on how the schedule turns out and how many people will do it

 

[Tim Reynolds]

Who do you have in mind for delegating at this point? Bob said no, I said no (as you mentioned, MIT Fall isn't on that day because I'm busy). Do you have anyone else in mind? We're the only two delegates in the area, so I don't think you'll be able to find anyone else.

You really need more competition experience before you run a competition. If you've never been to a competition, you won't know how to run one--that's pretty much a fact. Make an effort to attend a competition, and then we can talk about whether you want to run one of your own.

That's a four hour drive for Bob, and it would be 5 1/2 hours for me if I had a car (but I don't).

You should think about going to Hackley, if you're interested in competitions. It's a four hour drive, about as long as it would take Bob to get to you.

 

[cubernya]
