The ratio of girs to boys is approximately 1:30 (just an estimate), there will be at least 2 others, at least

From my knowledge of female names, there seem to be 4 females competing. That'd be 2:25.

No, James is right. I didn't initially expect to have to give a reason but then when you asked I thought it would be fun :tu

Ah fair enough man. I can't believe I didn't say this.. I did think of it, but just didn't write it down. Hope to see you the comp after maybe.

 

[DuffyEdge]

Why can't your gf come to the comp? She'll be in good company there.

After she learns, then she will compete next time

3BLD: sub-37 Mo3
4BLD: sub-2:30 Mo3

4BLD has an Mo3 now?

Hope you get that 3BLD goal, would put you 17th or higher.

 

[TDM]

4BLD has an Mo3 now?

Yes, but not ranked officially: Missing Averages

 

[Thaynara]

Goals:

2x2 sub5.5 avg
3x3 sub12.8 avg
4x4 sub47 avg / sub43 single

looking forward to the fun times rather than pb's!

 

[Randomno]

There's still 3 weeks to the comp, so I feel that if I post goals now I'll easily beat them by the comp.

Anyway...

2x2: Sub-6 single, sub-9 average. I said I'd learn CLL as joke, I might actually though.

3x3: Sub-25 single, sub-29 average. I have a sub-29 average of 200, so surely...

Pyraminx: sub-15 single, sub-20 average. Just learn those 3 last LL algs!

Skewb: sub-60. I haven't learnt Skewb yet. -_-

 

[~Adam~]

Halve that Skewb goal.

 

[Randomno]

Halve that Skewb goal.

I dunno, my Ao1000 is currently all DNFs.

 

[TMOY]

FYI, at my very first Skewb competition (back in 2009 when it was still unofficial), I got a low 30s average with a really bad puzzle, a noobish method and 20-30 minutes or so of practice. Sub-30 is definitely not an unreasonable goal.

 

[~Adam~]

Just booked the hotel. I'll definitely be there for both days.

Goals

2x2 - Arrive in time then choose to compete or not.
3x3 - sub 13/sub 15
4x4 - sub 52/sub 60
5x5 - sub 1:52/sub 2
3BLD - sub 2:30/going all out on all 3 so probably no mean
MBLD - 6/7

I should probably probably practice.

 

[Randomno]

I should probably probably practice.

Yeah, probably.

 

[~Adam~]

Yeah, probably.

I'm not promising to try, but I'll try to try.

I guess that's... inspirational?

Well try to.

Hello
My ten year old wants to come to this. How do we register please? I can't find a link. Is he too late to compete? If so he would like to just come along. Thanks.

 

[Robert-Y]

Hi, in order to register, you can fill out this form http://www.worldcubeassociation.org...istration+Form&competitionId=OxfordWinter2014
Unfortunately he will be put on the waitng list as we have reached our competitor limit. You may have to wait for enough people to drop out to free a place in registration.

The link to registration was here (registration for all UK comps as far as I know is on that website), but unfortunately registration is full, so he won't be able to compete. He can always try to register and be put on the waiting list, but I think that by now it's probably too late for him to actually get to compete.
