Not only am I significantly slower than you I plan on competing in puzzles I haven't yet memorised all the algos for.

I hope you've practised everything you plan on competing in pretty thoroughly. There will be cutoff times for averages and, in many events, a time at which we will stop solvers from continuing.

I've been practising, I just have one algo I have yet to commit to memory for the 5x5x5. what are the cut off times? I can do 3x3x3 average 37, 4x4x4 in 3-4 minutes, I haven't timed myself with the 5x5x5, but I guess 7 to 10 minutes. I guess if I'm cutting it close I could focus on 4x4x4 so I can post more than one average.

Uh...are you going to learn how to solve them by the competition? Which puzzles? If you compete in a puzzle you can't solve, then it'll make life a lot more difficult for the people running it. Have you registered yet?

I just got my big cubes less than a week ago. i wanted to make sure I could solve them before registering for those events. I can solve the 3^3 and the 4^3 from memory, but there is one algo I have left to learn for the 5^3. I should have it by tomorrow night. I can solcve them all and spend a lot of time practising, I just haven't committed a edge parity case for the 5x5x5.
thanks

I have a set of cubesmith stickers if that is okay with you.

thank you, how much will the stickers be?
where can we meet?

You can just have the stickers for free. Are you planning on using them for the competition? If not I can just find you during the competition. If so, perhaps I could meet you at the hotel where people are planning on meeting the night before (I am more than likely going to be sleeping in my car in the hotel parking lot ;) )

thanks a lot, we can meet at the competetion. I'll be wearing my flash shirt
 
Just curious, how many people are planning on staying in the Residence Inn, and how many would like to 'bunk' with someone if possible? Also, what nights are people staying in MA?

I'll keep a list on this post, and update as needed.


I, for one, plan on staying here, would like to bunk if possible, and would have a 60%ish chance of staying 2 nights, 100% of 1 night if I can make it at all.
 
I don't think we'll have time for mystery events...we need to be out by 5 since we switched to a bigger room (26-100), so we're going to have to move through the events more quickly.

Two weeks...that should be enough time to finish everything I need to get ready...I think. Everyone out there who's reading this thread and planning to compete, register now if you haven't already. Otherwise I'll have a huge headache the week of the competition.
 
I believe there will be 8 timer stations--more if we can fit them. Pyraminx, clock, multi blind, and big cubes blind will be in a separate room--we still need to get confirmation about where this room will be, but it will be nearby.

We're also going to have a staff of 20-ish people, and (almost) every event has at least 6-7 of them not competing, so we'll be able to fully start each event when it's time to start.
 
I don't know if this is the right place to advertise, but I have a bunch of stickers for sale if anyone wants.

5 sets of 3x3x3 - C4U (standard 6 colors)
4 sets of 3x3x3 - "Made in Germany" non-laminated vinyl stickers (7 colors: black + standard 6 colors) - they're as good as Cubesmith stickers in my opinion
1 set of 5x5x5 - Cubesmith (standard 6 colors)
1 set of Square-1 - C4U (standard 6 colors)

I'll probably sell them at $0.50 each. $1.00 for the 5x5x5 set. PM me if you're interested :)
