Lawrence Spring Open 2015 (Kansas, USA)

[shadowkiller168]

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

I dunno, it seemed like it was me vs 4 other people.

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.

I'm not sure when it will be announced. I'm finishing up the schedule, and then I need to quickly finish the rest of the CubingUSA website. After that, I can send everything to the board, and then wait for the announcement. It's only a matter of timers/displays/mats and stuff after that. (and lunch too)

What will the price be like? Also I like the events... I would like to see 4x4 but I read your reason so not going to fight

Seriously? the end of March is 4months away, just be patient and it will be announced at some point in the future when everything is set-up.

Also are you really planning on going? (for Tennessee thats pretty far for just 6x6)

I asked my Dad if posting that would be impolite, and he said it was fine to post it... And I went to New Jersey just for the 6x6... and I love competing in the 6x6.. so I think it is fine I go to Kansas for it. But nothing is final. I'm crossing my figures that it will be a Christmas present or something like that.

I'm not 100% sure what the prices will be like. They may be slightly more expensive so I could get a set of timers/displays/mats so I wouldn't have to rent them from places, and I could share them with other Kansas organizers (which in turn could make organizing a competition seem less daunting, and could encourage a few others to try it). This is what I have posted currently on the website: "For those who prepay online, the base fee will be $10 (3x3 is included in this fee), and any additional event added with cost $2 each. For those who register at the door, the base fee willbe $10 (3x3 is NOT included in this fee), and any additional event added will cost $3 each. Also, the competitor will not be allowed to enter in 6x6, 5x5, or Megaminx." Assuming I can actually get the timers/displays etc., prices will NEVER be even close to this high again. The most a competitor could owe by pre-registering would be $24.

As for 4x4: I'm sorry, but I don't like 4x4. It's unlikely that I would hold events I don't like myself. Although 4x4 is a bit of an exception to that rule considering the huge masses of people who enjoy the event and how common it is (a similar reason why I held BLD in my first comp). Just don't expect a competition of mine to have more than one round of 4x4 (if I have the event at all).

I don't know what you mean by this? Do you mean that you can only enter online instead of at the door? That you can't enter in all three? Or that you can enter in all three and don't have to choose one over the other? Also, I would love to set up a comp. in Olathe sometime in 2015, but want to go to some more competitions first. Nothing planned yet, just something that I really want to do.

If you register at the door instead of online, the competitor cannot enter in 5x5, they cannot enter in 6x6, AND they cannot enter in Megaminx. The only events they are allowed to register for at the door would be 2x2, 3x3, OH, Pyraminx, and Skewb. (And chances are, they can't enter in Clock, assuming we even have the event to begin with, which is also unlikely)

You do know that Shaden will be bringing the timers and displays I have, right?

 

[Aussie]

I am ecstatic to announce I will be attending the competition! See you guys there!

I know, but it's not this competition that I'm worried about. It's really more for future purposes and competitions. Although, I must ask, how many timers/displays do you have? I was hoping to be able to use 6 timers/displays.

I am ecstatic to announce I will be attending the competition! See you guys there!

I'll see you there!

 

[Aussie]

Hey Shadow, what will all the events be? If you don't have a final decision on the events yet, that is fine. I'm curious to see what I will be able to sign up for.

I already mentioned it a number of times. 3 rounds of 2x2, 3 rounds of 3x3, (1 round of everything else) 5x5, 6x6, OH, Skewb, Pyraminx, Megaminx, and (tentatively, only if we're seriously ahead of schedule) Rubik's Clock.

Whoops, my bad. But thanks for re-posting.

So is the website available yet? I know I'll be able to come, so excited for my second competition. Sad to not see 4x4, but that's okay. I will for sure do 2x2, 3x3, and pyraminx, probably do OH, and also maybe do skewb and megaminx, if I actually get them. I will definitely not do 5x5, 6x6, or clock. I only average 7 minutes on 5x5, and I don't own or plan on getting 6x6 or clock. I don't care if you do or don't do 6x6 or clock.

The website is not available quite yet, but it should be in the coming weeks. The competition has to be officially announced first. I look forward to seeing you again!

I thought all WCA delegates had displays and timers that they brought... maybe that's only some. Well thanks for answering anyway!

 

[Rocky0701]

Hey biscuit! I can do ttw tonight.

 

[shadowkiller168]

They often do. Though, I suppose some may have more than others. Kit told me that (for some reason) if he flew to my competition, he would be unable to bring displays. I'm not entirely sure why he would be unable to, perhaps to keep some costs low from luggage or something, so we rented them from Seven Towns.

ahh ok that does make sense

EDIT: also what's up with the new profile pic shadow? I liked the old one quite a bit better

I like to change my profile picture on many of my accounts from time to time. You can only look at the same thing so many times before you want it to change.
