New Albany Open 2012

[IMSLOW1097]

Hi guys!
The New Albany Open will be held on June 2nd, 2012 in New Albany, Ohio, which is 20 minutes North East of Columbus. Here's the Event page:

http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/c.php?i=NewAlbany2012

And the official website:

http://koii.cubingusa.com/newalbany2012/

We will be having a point system along the lines of the Berkeley Octodecathlon; getting to the finals in any event with 2 or more rounds gets you one point, 3rd place=3 points, 2nd place=5 points, and 1st place=10 points. E3Cubestore will be sponsoring prizes for the top 8 competitors according to this system (exact prizes TBA).

Be there, or be where? (mental :fp )

I've been waiting for an event in central ohio! I'm definitely want to come and is there any preregistration needed or anything? (this would be my first competition)

Wah, wah, all you darn new yorkers.
(that's even more weird, considering I'm from rockland county originally)

Yes, there is preregistration on the KOII link (the 2nd link in the beginning post). Just so you know, we have had competitions at OSU since 2009, but that's another story. Hope you can make it!

Fine. After the 6 months that I've enjoyed torturing Bob Burton, I am deciding to change my profile picture. Goodbye, awkward photo of that demented baby!

Sorry, i didn't mean it to be that way.

Yeahhhhhh. Registered, can't wait I do wish clock was the tentative event instead of megaminx though...

Yeahhhhhh. Registered, can't wait I do wish clock was the tentative event instead of megaminx though...

YEAH BUDDY.
Sorry, i was contemplating clock, but i had more requests for megaminx. We're trying to put in more rounds instead of more events, so that's why we have only 1 tentative event.

 

[Yuxuibbs]

Negotiating with parents but probably won't know until after Hillsdale 2012. Hopefully I can show up but it's a 4 hour drive.

 

[zster007]

4x4 and 5x5? Count me in!

I would like to extend a huge "f*ck yeah" to the organizer!

Some friends and I were considering going to Columbus to see Foster the People play. Turns out this competition is the day after and only a few minutes away.
We'll see you there.
