Pittsburgh CMU competition??

[pistelli]

CMU had competitions until spring 2010, but they haven't had one since. Can anyone explain this? There are a lot of cubers in Pittsburgh. Probably over 20. This would be a great place for a competition. Who agrees?

Yes, cause it's near MD.

thats not a lot, over 100 go to Toronto comps

Considering the size of Pittsburgh compared to Toronto, It may be proportionately similar. Either way, that isn't very relevant.

Ilkyoo Choi was the one who put on the competitions. He graduated last year, and so that group isn't active anymore. I am in also planning on leaving pittsburgh this year, so I won't even be looking to hold anything. It would be nice for the group thats here to be able to compete, but without a group that will take the lead, it won't happen.

 

[Ilkyoo Choi]

Yeah. I'm at UIUC now.

I remember my first competition at CMU. There were 37 competitors. 8 of us had competed before, and the other 29 were in Ilkyoo's class. If Dan's not sticking around either, I doubt there will be any competitions in Pittsburgh for a while. Unfortunately, Pittsburgh is kind of like in the middle of nowhere. :/
