That's cool that our daughters are close in age. My daughter just turned 5 in March. Hmm... 3x3 final at the end. Ok, I'll keep in mind that I may need to change my other schedule. I don't know if I'd qualify for the final... actually, I don't have much idea about anything as this will be my first comp. Anyway, being the pessimist that I am, I think I'll probably fail horribly and do much worse than I normally do at home. I'm telling myself that I will be happy with a sub-20 average. Obviously, I'm not setting my hopes high.

That is cool! It's too bad I don't live in Ottawa. My girlfriend and I were just talking the other day about how we wish we had more friends with Kids her age. Although I'm not sure she would enjoy our cubing conversations lol.

You might be close to the final if you have a good second round! It's good that you haven't set your expectations to high! I wouldn't put any pressure on yourself. with your average you'll definitely make the second round so you'll get 10 3x3 solves for the day. I've made the second round twice with my average. I'm always nervous and I have no idea why considering I'm not there to win. The biggest thing for me at my first comp that threw me off a bit was using a stackmat for the first time. Actually it always throws me off a bit because I still don't own one. But you can practice with stackmats before hand. At every comp there's at least one solve where I go for the "space bar" when i'm done.

I don't exactly live in Ottawa either. I'm a little further west. Well it's nice to think I'll get at least 10 solves. More chances to get some good times I guess. Even if you're not there to win, you're probably still there to beat your own times and do well in your own eyes so it's quite understandable that you're nervous. I really don't know how I'm going to perform. I bought a QJ timer a few months ago partly for the purpose of getting used to a competition timer. I'd better practice on that more from now until the competition. Usually I'm still using the computer spacebar though (which also gives faster times).
 
Wow, time flies! The competition is just a bit over a week away now.

I also regret to inform you that due to complications with the school's bank account, the prizes will have to be given in the form of gift cards as oppose to cash or cheques like the previous years. I am very sorry about this, and I assure you I did everything I could to get the prizes in cheque/cash form.

In case you didn't know, the Davan Zhanchi 50mm is perfectly competition legal (unless it's stickerless).
