David, I'll give you a ride if you can make it to Ames by 4:00 PM Friday.

Now I really do need to practice my pyraminx, lol.

I haven't got the contract signed, so it's not official yet. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to release the website (although you could probably find it with google).

Well, Google wouldn't have it indexed yet, but if people look at the other competition websites I've made, it's fairly obvious.

Are there going to be any hard limits on the puzzles?

We'll probably have to have some limit on 5x5 and Megaminx, but hopefully not make it a hard limit. For now, you can choose one or the other (and we'll try to let people do the other if we have time), so we should have plenty of time for people to do an average. If you're extremely slow though, having someone do 9 minute averages can still kill us. Hopefully we can go with a 6 minute time limit and you have to get one of those in your first two solves to continue, and no "DNF of death".

anyway, we'll have online payment, because it makes checking a million times easier. While we won't absolutely require it, you'll have the incentive to do it because the sooner you pay, the greater your chances of winning a prize.

It might be something like, "2 cubes will be given out to 2 people (1 each) within the first 1/3 to pay online. 2 cubes to 2 people (1 each) within the first 2/3 to pay online, and 2 cubes to people who pay online". So if 30 people paid online, if you're in the first 10, then you have a 1/5 chance of winning a cube (1st drawing), 1/10 chance of winning a cube (2nd drawing), and 1/15 chance of winning a cube (3rd drawing).

I tried to think of other incentives for people to pay online, but this seemed like a good one (especially since some people wanted giveaways and I do have some things to giveaway).

anyway, now I'm just waiting for the contract to be signed....
