Interest in Competition in Nashville Tennessee

[Aussie]

Hello! I'm hoping to organize my 1st competition between Summer 2015 and Summer 2016. Would anyone be interested in coming to a Nashville competition?

The events I am hoping to include in this competition are 3x3 Speedsolve, 4x4 Speedsolve, 3x3 Blindfolded, Pyraminx, Rubik's Clock, Skewb,
6x6 Speedsolve, 7x7 Speedsolve and 4x4 Blindfolded.

I live 30 minutes from Nashville and would love to have a competition nearby. Why no 5x5?

 

[Aussie]

Why no 5x5?

This is my first draft of an event schedule. I want to make the most of the time and space we'll have, so feedback from potential attendees is very important to me. Do you feel the 5x5 speedsolve would be valuable?

The events I would compete in are the following (ranked from ones I care most about to ones I care least about):
3x3
4x4
5x5
Fmc
Could do without but would compete in if available:
2x2
Pyraminx (maybe, I haven't even gotten it in the mail yet)
BLD (if I actually get a success before then)

I don't even have anything bigger than a 5x5. I would be interested in what other people want though.

Thanks for the feedback. There is a decent sized chance that I will do 5x5, but I do not think I will do Fewest moves or 2x2.

I can be happy with that. Also, 100% of those polled are very likely to come. Sounds promising.

As a fellow Tennessean, Woo! I'd actually be glad to help you organize it if you need help.

Have you contacted a delegate about this? That's a good thing to do if you want it to be official. They could also help you with organizing too.

I have not yet. This will be official, but I would like to verify my venue first. I know what it will be, but I was told not to mention it until I'm positive it will be our venue.

Any news?

We've had a small competition that wasn't official, however I'm not sure how far along we are with the official comp.

You didn't think to post here that there would be a small comp? I live half an hour from Nashville and would probably have made the trip.

It was organized by Aussie and only 3 people competed. We're trying to make it monthly. Contact Aussie if you have questions.

Sorry lerenard! Next competition I will make sure to post about it.

Cool thanks. Only 3 people is kinda disappointing though xD

Lol.. I was expecting more. This time, the competition will be announced at least 2 weeks in advance, rather then 4 days... It was just bad timing for a few kids. 4 actually showed up, but one couldn't stay to compete in any of his events.

 

[lerenard]

How are you timing solves? I don't have a stackmat.

We timed with a computer, but next time we are hoping to use a stackmat timer. My timer's circuits broke, and I am hoping to get another one soon. Here is the competition video just if you are interested in watching it.
