Lawrence Spring Open 2015 (Kansas, USA)

That sounds great except for the "if the Saturday is available, they will give me the space for a deep discount." line. We are talking about a multiday comp (although I agree that KC is better for even a one day comp). If you could get the Friday to that would work really well

 

[danchoi955]

Speaking of which, what is the progress on your comp? Did you contact a delegate yet or something? I messaged Zach Henry, but I haven't gotten a response yet.

I will mention it to him tomorrow at our 3pm cubing practice.

Good because it's getting REALLY late to get a comp going in late February. This stuff should have been taken care of in mid-December.

Goals: Get really good at OH and win OH.
And don't fail skewb.

Well, with the Minnesota cubers and (possibly) Anthony Brooks there, I wouldn't get your hopes too high.

Anthony Brooks is coming? Awesome!

I WILL SUB 15 OH AVERAGE IF I BELIEVE

I said possibly. I spoke to him about it at Oklahoma Open 2014, and he said that he might be able to make it, but other than that I don't know. I contacted him on Facebook about it, but no response yet.

Really? I only average 40 (give or take) with skewb . Just started skewbing 3-4 days ago

I don't even remember how to solve one, it's been so long.

I just hope I don't come in last for Skewb. I've never really cared about getting fast with it. The fingertricks are just so weird and hit-and-miss to me.

I feel the same. Maybe I will practice a tiny bit and get like sub 30.

Or you could just hope for some lucky cases or something like that I got a sub-30 average at Oklahoma Open 2014 because of easy scrambles (to me at least). There's not much practice needed to be sub-30.

 

[Pryge]

I failed finals last time so yeahhh

Here's to hoping that you do better this time!

And I get podium for Megaminx plz

Hey Shadow, if you plan to do another competition in Lawrence, do you think you will include the 6x6 speed solve again?

You know, you don't have to call me "Shadow". It feels a little awkward because I keep thinking of Shadow the Hedgehog whenever I read that.

Anyway, I can't really say for certain. I'm not a big fan of larger cubes, and they eat up a lot of time. Not to mention unless someone there is seriously fast, it isn't all too exciting. The only events that I can guarantee that I will host - no matter what - will be 3 rounds of 2x2 and 3x3, and Megaminx.

Other events I am likely to host are:
Pyraminx & Skewb (They're very quick events and everyone seems to want to compete in it)(Kennan, don't you dare bring up Clock)
3x3 One-Handed (Not really sure why I like hosting it. I just do. I feel like there needs to be 3x3 +1 variant of solving 3x3)
5x5 (Only if this event doesn't cause too much trouble at Lawrence Spring 2015, and because it's just fun to solve)

So, to actually answer your question... Maybe. You probably would have a better chance with talking to other [future] organizers like Zachary Henry or Dan Nguyen. Nate Perry was seriously considering hosting a comp in Wichita during the Summer.

Okay, got it. I completely understand. It is a pretty long event. I'll be on the look out for future competitions including the 6x6.

Well, that's not to say I won't ever host it again. I guess it all really depends on how well this comp will go. If 6x6 goes very smoothly, I'll be more likely to host it in future comps as opposed to if it doesn't go as nicely.

Yeah Zach and Dan are planning to do 7x7 at their comp in February, assuming that they can get a delegate in time, if not they'll probably just do a different date. I know that you like 6x6 more than 7x7, and I do to, but at least it's a bigcube.
