Is anyone here going to the competition at UC Berkley in California?

[dunpeal2064]

I went online to see when and where the Rubik's tournaments are and the closest one to me is at UC Berkley on November 17th. This'll be my first competition as I've only been cubing for about 3 months.

If its on the official list, you can bet there are people going.

 

[dunpeal2064]

thats good to hear... the only people i've ever met that cube are the people i taught. haha. so i wasn't sure just how popular it was.

I plan on going about 80%. The 20% I might go to Stanford.

 

[dunpeal2064]

yeah that was the other one i was looking at.... but i live in central cali so berkley seemed easier.... and I love the music stores in Berkley.

Do competitions like this usually have competitions in multiple puzzles? like 4x4 and such?

 

[Ranzha]

I'm 90% going, and 95% to Stanford.
Yay!

Wouldn't it be great if there were a website that had all this information? Wow!

I bet that not only will the competition be packed with cubers, but it will be featuring some of the most well-known cubers in the community, including many members of this forum. It will also be a great competition.

Before I start crying I will leave. >.<

well see, i click on that link and it tells me its at berkley... which i already knew.... i don't see anywhere where it tells me what they are doing comps for..

... also, I don't quite understand all the condisending behavior on this site... I don't know if its poor sarcasm or what, but you "pro's" need to remember that people ARE new at this, and if you are truely interested in expanding this awesome hobby, you should be a little more helpful....

i know some of you have been here for years and are tired of the same question, but you should look at yourselves as teachers... and teachers get asked the same questions for years.

One of the few items on the page says "Events". If you click on the dropdown, you can see what events are being held. You can also click on the website link and see what events are held when.
It's not that hard to click around and find information.
(Note that these are "events" held for different puzzles, while the entire affair is a"competition")

Also, the condescending behavior is a product of people not paying attention when we tell them nicely HOW to ask for information. You completely posted in the wrong subforum. We have a forum for questions, and one about official competitions.
We are not primarily teachers, we are "peers," and we will get annoyed. Especially if we really try to make it clear how not to annoy us, and people still disregard that and refuse to believe they're approaching something wrong.

 

[dunpeal2064]

if the question annoys you, don't answer it.... but half the time i see these 3 paragraph messages telling people how wrong they are in their asking, when it would take 3 words to just help them... its like you are going out of your way just to let us know you are annoyed.

and i saw a forum called "speedcubing discussion", and me being on this site only 3 days, it seemed like a good place to ask who else was going to a comp...

this is supposed to be fun, you guys are acting like its a job... relax!!! who cares if someone accidentally posts in the wrong forum, it'll happen no matter what you do

to be honest, if you are truely annoyed with a questio... DONT ANSWER IT!!! makes perfect sense to me.

Or, you know, you could try not being stupid.

As opposed to "Speedcubing Help/Questions"? (Which is conveniently listed at the top so that newcomers see it first.)

To repeat myself from a previous post:

Could I have your email address so I can sign you up for spam? Don't worry, I'll make sure to choose only places that send obvious spam.
It should be fine for you. Just don't read anything in your inbox that says "READ THIS" or "GREAT OFFER" because you already know it's spam.

Saying "it'll happen no matter what" is not appropriate. For some of us this is a serious, fun, hobby.
This subforum is like an inbox for us, which we read because we love interesting discussion. And spam is never nice to see, even if it's "easy" to ignore any annoying threads.

(Yes, you can be inexperienced at first. But there's a place for that (Speedcubing Help/Questions), and if you insist on remaining ignorant, I have little respect for your conduct.)

if you are truely interested in expanding this awesome hobby, you should be a little more helpful.... .

I don't really want to expand the hobby to people who are too stupid to navigate a dropdown box. How can you expect us to want to help you out when you aren't even putting in the tiniest amount of effort? You were literally linked to the information you were asking for, and still complained about it not being there.
