I'll be there

Yes! Feet event! I really hope I can make it there though.
Edit: Just saw "Tentative" right now. Whoever is organizing this competition, please keep feet, it's so difficult to do this event in Canada.

Actually, the real question is "will the North American Record still stand"?

Probably not
I'm not 100% that Dave will be okay with us doing feet, but I really hope we can!
(If he wants, we can use our clubs stackmats for feet)

I'm a noob so i apologize if my questions have common knowledge answers.

Do you have to register for this competition in advance or do you just show up?
My 3x3 average is about 34seconds so I wondered if there was even a point to going as
I'm sure anyone who would compete would certainly be sub 20 solvers??

 

[kbrune]

Thanks!

Is there anything you would have wanted to know before competing for the first time?
Things you would have brought etc?

I see many people have a WCA profile number. Do i need one before competing?

 

[Thompson]

I'm going! SO PUMPED!!!!

All you need are you own cubes. You get a WCA ID when you register. It will be tons of fun

 

[antoineccantin]

Don't worry about your times, I went to my first competition with a 47 average. You save money by signing up in advance, you can however also sign up when you arrive. To sign up in advance, go to canadiancubing.com.

Completely unprepared for multi.

Hopefully we will be more than 2 doing multi.

 

[antoineccantin]

Hopefully we will be more than 2 doing multi.

I might, and there will also be Louis and Zack.

 

[antoineccantin]

We have now confirmed a sponsor for a 15$ third prize. Thank you Knights of Comubus!
Also, registration should open soon.

 

[Micael]

If I do multi, I'm just going for a 1/2 score, I don't really have time to practice it.

That actually scores zero point.
