Potential Competition in Georgia, USA

[Torch]

Over the past couple of months, I've been working on organizing a competition in Georgia. I have a venue lined up and (probably) a delegate as well. Now I need to gauge the community interest in this competition so that we can know how many people to expect. So the question is, would you be interested in a Georgia competition? We're looking at a January or February date.

I'd be down for that. I'd also be happy to judge and help organize/set up for you guys needed it. I'm pretty flexible as far as dates go in December and January (except for the week around New Years.

Due to a change in circumstances, this competition will almost certainly not be happening before the end of the year. I've updated the original post to reflect this.

I would defiantly attend to a Georgian Competition. If this works out, could you consider adding the 6x6 event?

 

[ElectroCuberZZ]

I would definitely attend. I will definitely be there if the date is right. Im super excited to attend if it is happening. Hey Ray, I would also be happy to judge and scramble if necessary.

The likelihood I would come is directly proportional to the amount of rounds of OH, 5x5, Skewb, and 7x7 present.

Nothing about events will be decided until I get a delegate for sure. However, I'd bet on OH and Skewb yes, 5-7 probably not.

If it is held near Atlanta i will most likely come. Only problem is the last Georgia competition results i saw (which i think was held by Torch) had all the people getting under 30 seconds, best i can get is about 50 seconds and thats when using CFOP. I only use the 7 algorithm method for OLL though, and i only know 4 of them. But i have PLL down. anyway if you do hold it i would be happy to me a timer/judge when im not competing.

Don't worry about your times! If you look at the results of the Kansas competition that just happened, 8 people were slower than 50 seconds. It's always great to come out to a competition and meet other cubers, no matter how fast or slow you are.

Anyway, I may know what the date will be by the end of the week. It will possibly be in January.

I would very possibly attend a Georgia competition. Just would depend of availability of the day.
(For you Northern GA and SC people: there is a Charlotte NC competition very soon http://www.cubingusa.com/charlotteopenfall2014/index.php )

 

[DanpHan]

I'd say I have about a 50% chance of going. It depends on my mom's work. I would hope so, though.

 

[cubekid57]

I would definately go if it is held early next year

 

[Torch]

Unfortunately, I do not think I will be able to organize this competition. If anyone else in the area wants to organize a competition, I will be more than happy to help in any way I can. Thanks for all the interest and my apologies for not being able to come through.


EDIT: I'm looking for a new venue. If it works out, I'll post an update.

 

[2cubed4u]

I'll be there if I can for sure!

Okay, this competition is getting back on track, and it will probably happen in late May. We're still in the early planning stages, so I don't have any more info right more.
