Minnesota Open 2012

[Noahaha]

Noah you should come to this. Just keep on road trippin after Dixon

The only reason I'll be in Dixon is because I have a two week summer program that starts in Iowa the very next day.

Sweet. Where at in Iowa? That's where I live you see.

University of Iowa.

University of Iowa.

Bummer... I go to Iowa State

 

[JackJ]

It's looking like I'll probably be there!
EDIT: 100% going.

 

[Cheese11]

I'm leaving in like now. See you all there!

Schedule is up. http://www.cubingusa.com/minnesota/schedule.php OH interest in the area has really dropped, so the 2nd round is very small. Hopefully even with the three rounds of 3x3 and 2x2 we can try to get other stuff in.

A few other small changes: We'll be having pizza for lunch instead of subs, so I don't know where we'll go after the competition. I don't think people want to go to Cici's Pizza after pizza for lunch. Suggestions are welcomed.

Please have exact change for registration ($5 for first event, $2 for each additional).

And tonight it's making scorecards and certificates.

Only 11 people for OH!? That's messed up. We should still do CiCi's it's tradition!

I am a pizza-holic so I could basically eat it for every meal. I would be fine eating pizza for lunch and Cici's for dinner, however I still don't know If I will be able to make the after party.

[stzt28]

[cubernya]

2.27 NAR average 2x2 me.

Crazy...officially tied for second in the world now!

 

[mrpotatoman14]

2.27 NAR average 2x2 me.

Individual times?

 

[Noahaha]

2.27 NAR average 2x2 me.

YAY! Congrats Chris!

 

[Rubiks560]

DYK....

..Totes NAR NAR!
...John beat me in 3x3 and we were both mad?
...That .04 really does matter?
...Bryan didn't make fun of me the whole day?
...You guys are better than that?
...Johns like a child when it comes to eating food?
...Powdered suger flies across wind?
...Call Me Maybe?
...THAT'S CRAY?
...Did you know Julia was the first female to solve a cube blindfolded at Bryan's competition?

I might do more later.

 

[JackJ]

Chris actually lowered his NAR average to 2.16, and got another 2.27 in finals.

 

[Bryan]

Chris's 2x2 times:

Round 1 - 2.27 2.13 2.03 3.00 2.40
Round 2 - 1.96 2.06 2.47 1.80 7.34
Round 3 - 2.88 2.77 1.81 2.03 2.02

Dontchaknow....
...The last time the NAR was broke twice in a single competition was 2008 MN Open by Phil Thomas?
...The only competitors in common at both competition were myself and Takao?
...That's the only other time Takao has come to the MN Open?
...I want a picture of Takao with "I don't always come to the MN Open, but when I do the NAR is broken twice"
...I wrote Takao's name in Kanji on his Square-1 scorecard?
...I added Megaminx because Takao was there?
...Takao was judging me for 3x3 and I messed up so badly, I thought Takao was actually thinking "Oh, what is he doing?"
...I got lazy when writing scorecards, that instead of "Pyraminx", I drew a triangle?
...The most common phrase I heard when starting Pyraminx was "I have no idea how to solve this"?
...We had no mystery events?

 

[Noahaha]

I'll bet John was PISSED.

Actually no, he didn't care as long as it wasn't WR
