Lake Erie Open 2012?

2.You still have the problem that no one will want to delegate this...

precisely. you're just too inexperienced. you really cant run a competition unless you've actually been to one. especially a competition of this intensity.

Hey...I am a smart 6th grader too. I got a 3.978 GPA on my first quarter report card.

This is funny on so many levels.

Comedy gold, right there.

I hate replying to a thread like this without much contribution, but...

A 3.978 after 1 quarter? This means you either have at least 47 classes (My logic: If you don't have a 4.0, then you had to have gotten at least one B, and to have enough "A"s to balance your GPA to a 3.978 is 46. SO that makes 47 classes.) , or you don't know how GPA works. GPA doesn't go by number grade, but by letter grade. Just so you know how it works for the future. (I suppose your school district could use number grades for GPA, but the only way I have seen GPA is based on letter grade)

He is probably at a school where "honors" classes count out of 5.0 or something silly like that.

That was horrible reasoning. Every school do GPA differently.

I will go to at least 3 competitions before I host: Ohio Winter 2011, Dayton Spring 2012, and another competition. And I bet still not everyone's going to be satisfied. Correct that to NOBODY. I'm just sick of angry replies.

FYI-I got 2 A-'s. My school goes up to 4.0.

^ While I still don't think that's a good line-up of events, my main comment is : Good luck getting someone to delegate.

Fine. Here's a completely new plan:

3x3-3 Rounds
4x4-2 Rounds
5x5-2 Rounds
3x3 BLD-2 Rounds
3x3 FMC-Best of 1
4x4 BLD-Best of 1
5x5 BLD-Best of 1

It's called Lake Erie Blind 2012...

No multi-BLD?

Do you really think attending 3 competitions will give you enough experience to run a competition as an organiser. Most people will have done at least a dozen competitions before they even think about organising one. And if they do, they will usually organise it with someone more experienced. If you are really serious about this, I would want to make sure you get really involved in the competitions you are attending. Not just scrambling and judging, which you are supposed to do anyway according to the WCA regulations, but also coming early to help setting up and staying after everybody has left to put things back in their original place. During the competition help with shifting tables where needed and entering scores and print score sheets, helping with serving lunch if applicable, etc. Make sure you talk to the organisers of future competitions you're attending if you can help with anything in the preparation, like keeping contact with the venue, etc.

I've never organised a competition - I've only been to one so far - but I think organising a competition is a lot of work. Lots of things to arrange and if I could give you some advice, it would be: Don't do it, yet! You don't have the experience yet to run one. Go to at least a dozen of competitions first as a competitor, where you can meet other cubers and WCA delegates and get in touch with them. If you ask a delegate to delegate you competition, they will want to be sure that they are delegating for someone who has the experience needed to run a competition or at least runs it together with an experienced person.

But once again: Don't do it. For you own sake.

I held one after 3 competitions, without judging or scrambling at any of those competitions

True, but you did so alongside an experienced cuber/organiser. And I assume you weren't talking about organising a competition before you even attended one?

I'll remember this post next year for Cubetcha and let you handle everything.

I thought I did, too, but then I realized I was wrong. I competed in 7 and attended 8 (bonus points to anybody who knows the 1 competition at which I attended but did not compete) before running my first one.
