Hey!
@PocketCube101 - That would be great! I am from Northern Ireland so it's a bit of a long drive but I really want to meet some new people and cube my heart out
I have entered for 3x3 + OH + 3x3 BLD + 5x5
I average 15/16 for 3x3; low 30 for OH but I need to practice more lol; about 1:50 for BLD; and I really need to practice 5x5 but I'm about 2:40.
Can't wait until the comp!

@cubersmith - Yes! Thank for noticing! I started listening to the show and I absolutely loved it and so I thought I would do Thom and Andrew a favour

[PocketCube101]

[PocketCube101]

@kelsey if the olyimpics had cubers would you be on team ireland or team england

 

[kinch2002]

England doesn't exist at the Olympics. It's 'Great Britain and Northern Ireland'. I think it's now obvious which one he'd be in

 

[PocketCube101]

oh...rrriiitttee i though it was GB, IRE i didnt really know there was a N.Ire

 

[blakedacuber]

i don't think you actually get to choose who you participate for either you can only compete for the country you were born in,a country you have lived in for 8 years or the country on your passport.... correct e if I'm wrong though

i dont know if your right or wrong...all i know is that cubing should be an olyimpic sport

I think someone told me Northern Irish people can choose which passport(s) they want. If they choose British passport, or both passports, it's an obvious thing that they can represent UK. But what if someone only chooses Irish passport...

thats what i thought aswell...i think there was golf maybe being in the olyimpics and rory mclroy said he would play for

if an English/Scottish/Welsh/N. Ireland born person has an Irish passport they can declare to play for Ireland or United Kingdom(or GB which ever they call it in the olympics)

 

[PocketCube101]

today i got...:5x5 single+avg(both sub 4mins)pb 4x4 avg(sub 2:30min)pb 3x3 20.68 single pb and 27.61 avg pb

 

[cubersmith]

oh...rrriiitttee i though it was GB, IRE i didnt really know there was a N.Ire

There isn't its part of the United Kingdom and is therefore ineligible to compete as an independent country.
Anyway back on topic. Blake did you say there was another airport which was fairly near too? If I can find flights to there then I could possible come.

 

[kelseymckenna]

Lol, it looks like this competition is gonna be pretty good! Hopefully Kirjava can go too

 

[PocketCube101]

if you want to know where ill be just look for the guy with glasses with either a red shirt thats says pocketcube101 or a black uk 2011 open shirt

 

[kelseymckenna]

Will do
My Dad found something that definately means I can compete for Ireland
Good Friday Agreement 1998
"Both governments must accept the right of Northern Ireland citizens to declare themselves as either British or Irish and that dual citizenship must be provided for those who desire it."
So it's all good
