Awesome! Can't wait

I'm registered! I'm already counting down the days until the competition.

I really can't believe you're traveling like 600 miles for a round of 6x6.

I really can't believe you're traveling like 600 miles for a round of 6x6.

It's not just the 1 round of 6x6, it's also the experience. Meeting new cubers, watching world records being broken in person, going out of state, spending time with your Dad, those are just some of the things I will gain from traveling 600 miles.

Cool man! It would be awesome if Kevin broke improved his 6x6 WR. How come you aren't doing any other events though? You could at least do 3x3. It'll be cool to meet the Minnesota squad too.

As long as I can get an airline ticket I should be going

This may not be a legitimate reason, but I kind of want my image to be something like, the little kid who solves big cubes. I'm considering adding the 3x3 to my events, but for now, I'm keeping it at 6x6.

Anyway, are you going?

I understand now. That's actually pretty awesome! I also mainly do big cubes. I am going unless something else comes up. I need to practice 6x6 more though, right now I am barely sub 5:00, so my goal is to have an ao100 lower than the soft cutoff by the comp.

Woah, that's going to be pretty tough. I've been trying to get sub-4:30 a lot recently as well. I average about 4:25 - 4:35. Almost there! Well, good luck with your ao100, and maybe we could possibly meet at the competition if things work out.

You don't only need to solve big cubes to be known as "the little kid who solves big cubes." Maskow has done 3x3 and OH, but when someone says "Maskow", they think him a BLD solver. Keven Hays has done many of the events, but mostly everyone thinks of him from his endeavors in 5x5-7x7.

In any case, should you change your mind, the 3x3 event is completely free.

P.S. If you're only keeping it at 6x6, why did you do 7x7 at Nationals?

Yeah, it is getting really hard, but I really don't want to have a DNF 6x6 average. Thanks, and we should definitely meet there. A couple days before the comp I will post like what shirt I will be wearing or something so you can recognize me.

 

[Aussie]

If you're only keeping it at 6x6, why did you do 7x7 at Nationals?

I meant I will most likely keep it at 6x6 for this competition. If I come around a competition with both 6x6 and 7x7, I will do the 7x7 as well, but I won't put my main focus on the 7x7. Just like nationals.

 

[shadowkiller168]

lol everyone here's concerned whether or not they can make the 6x6 cutoffs and I'm just sittin' here hoping that I can get through one 6x6 solve without screwing up the OLL and PLL parity more than twice.

Oh and Megaminx too. Podium pls.

 

[Mikel]

Now that I know I am staying in the midwest for my foreseeable future, I should be able to make it to this competition. I'll have to wait until closer to the competition date to secure my registration in case a conflict arises.

We all know the real reason.

 

[Rocky0701]

We all know the real reason.

Will you get over it? Seriously, chill out. Ok so a lot of the reason ShadowKiller is having 6x6 for Kevin to come, but that doesn't mean that the entire competition is centered around him.

Calm down, I was joking. See your modified quote in my post.

Alright, sorry. I thought that you were basically implying that the only reason that I'm looking forward to the comp. is because Kevin Hays is going. My mistake. Were you basically saying the opposite and that the reason that I'm excited was because all of the Minnesota people are coming?

 

[Rubiks560]

Yes

On topic, I'm very curious how 3x3 will turn out.

With me winning. Duh.
