To answer some of your questions biscuit, I would have loved to announce it earlier, but the delegate was a little busy, so it took a little while for him to get back to me at times. I first emailed the delegate on August 16th.

Even though 5 people said the date was bad, its 5 people, not 20+ people.

It's too early to already know a definite date for a second competition (assuming there IS a second competition), though I would like to hope that it would be in late March-early May. I didn't choose November 1st as the date, it was just the only time the delegate could come. I will say that the events I would choose would be a little bit less common (e.g. 5BLD, 7x7, feet, etc.)
 
ok thanks! While you are right that only 5 people said they could not come because of the date you got 6 people to sign up in one day... If you keep getting that many people a day you would have 35 in 5 days (and you still have a bit after that)

I know that you are a little bit annoyed about the date, I kind've am too, but chill out. It wasn't even up to shadowkiller, it was up to Kit.

Yeah, competition planning isn't easy. It's also hard for me to plan competitions when I don't know what my school/teaching schedule is -- hence why it took until September before we really started to plan.

But yeah, sorry to those who can't make the date, but it's going to always be bad for someone.

Would it be at all possible to add 7x7? Because Oklahoma has 7x7, and I have to choose between this one and that one.

Doubtful -- the schedule itself is already going to be pretty tight as is. We tried to stick to simpler puzzles since this is the first competition in this area in a long time.

I didn't mean to come across that way... I was just saying that I don't think he should have any problem getting 35 people

EDIT: Although you are right that I wish it was a different date
 
I'm hopefully going to come to this. I live in Kansas, 45 mins from Lawrence. It's cool to see a competition our state. Also I need an excuse to get back into cubing.
 
Did not see this thread, but I'm happy to hear that there's a bit of a discussion. I definitely have two kids going, I just signed them up. I want to thank shadowkiller168 for hosting, kudos. I wanted to host one in KC but no delegates ever called me back; probably because I'm an unknown. My kids have been to two competitions and they are definitely exciting. If I can help spread the word I will...also, anyone in the KC area that's interested in getting together and practice before the comp? Maybe a couple of hours on Sunday evening? I'm too old but one of my kids is really interested.

I would... But Sunday does not work. (plus I can't be going this year... hopefully it will happen again)

I wanted to add that I'd be up for this too. Iirc there was a meetup planned at Oak Park mall a while ago, I didn't go to it, but something like that would be cool. From my experience cube meetups are really awesome.
 
Yeah Id love to have a meet up... If any one has stack mats + timers we could do a unofficial comp... oak park is a pretty good place. Or town center plaza (the Starbucks in Barnes and nobles might work)
