Lawrence Spring Open 2015 (Kansas, USA)

are you planning to put an event during lunch? If not clock can EASILY be done in that time.

Yes, Megaminx. That's where the issues are. I'm sorry to say, but I'm not removing Megaminx.

Edit: If I didn't have an event during lunch, I would have definitely considered having Clock or something, or just having a short lunch to get some extra time.

 

[kcl]

Could clock and mega be done at the same time?

Unlikely, unless there was a miracle or I had the ability to slow down time.

I'll have Clock if you can find a way to work it into the schedule.

 

[cubegenius]

Please cool down guys. Clock would be a great event to hold. And so would 6x6. Zachary made a decision to do 6x6, and there simply isn't enough time to do clock. You should be thankful to him for getting this competition together. You can't have every event at a one day competition like this one. It's just a fact. If you feel so strongly about clock, maybe you could consider organizing a competition and have clock as an event. And there ARE other people besides Kevin that are excited to have big cubes at this competition.

Well, they did just host a competition with Clock as an event.

What is the big interest for clock? I am curious. Are you guys like really fast at clock and going for a record or something? Lol, sorry, but it just seems random to me.

My personal motivation? It's an event that I'm reasonably good at and I'm not satisfied with my official average. That's the same way for my other 3 events (2x2, 3x3, skewb) but he's holding all of those. And being that I currently hold NAR, multiple rounds of skewb isn't really a must have for me. Therefore clock is a logical event to add imo if there's time.

 

[shadowkiller168]

I'm curious as to where the sudden interest in Clock came from too.

Oh well, everything aside: my final decision is to have Clock as a tentative event. Don't get your hopes up though. I can only host the event if we are seriously ahead of schedule, and if there's not going to be too many people entering in it.

I blame Logan.

Ok, thank you. I understand more now.

I blame Logan.

Yeah, I kinda got motivated to get fast, sparking Kennan's interest too.

Do you like 6x6? I can see you are holding 6x6 for Kevin to come, which seems kind of "fanboyish". No one will come close to that (unless they have extensive practice for only 6x6). To add to this, I don't see any besides you jumping up and down for megaminx. With the desire of clock (I, too, want to see the outcome between Kennan and Logan), why can't you save Megaminx for a possible third competition? I can't come to this, but you should a better job on pleasing the competitors.

 

[Bh13]

I could probably come to this (9 hours isn't to bad ) Clock would be nice, but so would 6x6.

There are other people that are going that like 6x6 other than Kevin. Christopher and I like bigcubes along with John Doeden.

Its Zach's competition so he wants to have events he likes.

Its nice to have input for what events competitors want to have but its impossible to please everyone. If other people really want events, they can organize their own competition if they really want to.

Yeah, I am very excited for 6x6. I like megaminx too. I do believe that clock should be added though because a lot of people want it.

I made the cutoffs significantly more lenient (soft 4:30 hard 6:45 as of now). If Clock was suggested before I even attempted making the schedule, I could have considered it more. As of now, it's tentative. Also, pleasing the competitors? I can't please everyone, and it was largely the Minnesota crowd that wanted Clock. I've been in contact with a few locals, and they couldn't really care about Clock. 5x5 was the event that was seriously requested.

Clock has been added as tentative. No more, no less. That's final. If there's time, we can do it; if not, sorry. There's already a lot that has been scheduled.

Ok, I am just glad thT there will be 5x5, 6x6 and megaminx.

Finally, someone who is happy with the events.

I'm not complaining about your events, the way you handled the situation with clock is perfectly fair.

 

[Aussie]

Finally, someone who is happy with the events.

I've been fine with it since the beginning. Anyway, when will the competition be officially documented on the World Cube Association site? Not to rush or anything.
