Princeton Fall 2012

[Bob]

*BUMP*

I live in Princeton, (i'll be a high school freshman when this competition occurs) yet i think it'll be awkward since i think most of the cubers there would be college students...

not quite...i think the median age will be in high school.

I highly recommend that you go no matter what age you are or how fast you are. I didn't even look into going to the 2003 World Championships because I thought I was too slow, and I still regret to this day having that be my limiting factor. Cube competitions are relatively few and far between, so go to as many as you can if it's something you enjoy. If anything, I find that "older" cubers tend to think it's really cool when "younger" cubers show up and compete. Have fun!

Registration for the competition is now open!

I've kept the events and the pricing the same as last year's competition. I'll get to work on other competition-related tasks during the next few days. (Can't believe it's only ~2.5 months away!)

 

[MirzaCubing]

that's a lot of money for registration @_@

What happens if I register but cannot make it to the competition? I will be starting my freshman year at UCONN and I do not know what my schedule will be like. Also, I have only been cubing for about four months and have not been to a competition before.

Also... what will be there for food and refreshments because I am diabetic. I know it says Lunch on the schedule but does anybody know anymore specifics?

Registration fees are non-refundable. Either register later or run the risk of losing your money.

Thanks for the clarification.

Registration fees are non-refundable. Either register later or run the risk of losing your money.

Actually, competitors will be paying on the day of the competition. If you register but later realize that you cannot go, please let me know so I can take you off the registration. (Otherwise, we'll be calling your name all day long at the competition during all the events you signed up for!)

Also... what will be there for food and refreshments because I am diabetic. I know it says Lunch on the schedule but does anybody know anymore specifics?

The lunch from 11:30 to 12:30 is actually a break scheduled for people to go out and buy food to eat. We're not planning to provide lunch for everyone. (Sorry!)

 

[NoHacer]

Thanks for answering both my questions. I'll register later because I'll probably forget to let you know if I can't make it.

This competition (and the day) always seems to be a fail for me, pre comp, during comp, and after comp. I'll probably not be coming this year.

Hope this isn't on the same day as my orchestra audition... The Princeton competitions always are.

Plus, it's 3 days near my birthday.

Yay BLD and Magics AND YES SWQEER-ONE <----best puzzle ever

 

[TheAwesomeAlex]

I'll be definitely going to this.

 

[Owen]

Should I go?

 

[brandbest1]

And... I can't go because of my audition. Why do all the Princeton competitions have to be that way?

 

[yoruichi]

yay for comps 50 feet from my dorm

 

[Czery]

[TheAwesomeAlex]

Should I go?

[Swordsman Kirby]

I will probably be attending. Going to work on that pyraminx average. >_>

T-shirt pre-ordering!

Hi everyone!

A quick update: some Princeton Cube Club members have been working hard on t-shirt designs, so we'll have t-shirts to sell at the competition!

If you would like to pre-order a t-shirt, please fill out the form below.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEFMWHdjRXZmeERoc1ZwblpHM3JfdFE6MQ#gid=0

This will help give us an idea of how many shirts to order. Also, pre-ordering guarantees that you will be able to buy a shirt. (Last year we sold shirts too, but we ran out of sizes people wanted pretty quickly.)

Right now, it seems that we will be selling the shirts at the competition for $20. However, if you pre-order, we'll give you a discounted price of $17. (Since the price of the shirts will depend on how many we order, these prices may go down if we end up ordering a lot!)

Edit: We've decided on a design!

The cube design is neat, but the font at the top is as boring as you can possibly get. Anything would be an improvement.

Adding the date at the bottom would be the third time 2012 appears on the front. It's a bit excessive.
