Princeton Open 2008

[flamingBurrito]

Couple of things:

The Square-1 event isn't on the schedule. Did you decide to drop it or just forget to put in on there?

Also, I noticed that "Andy Kang" is a registered competitior. Do you know if that's the same person as Andrew Kang? I don't think it's him, because Andy is only registered for 3x3x3 and there isn't a link to his WCA profile.

But if that's Andrew Kang, then dang... I better start practicing!

lol i knew this would happen...

Sorry but thats actually me, and not the Andrew Kang. haha we just happen to have the same name. :rolleyes:

Hey,
Sam could you please add me to the following events
Anthony Orji: Pyraminx and 3x3 blind
Thanks
-Tony

 

[ExoCorsair]

My predictions:
3x3x3 speed: Jason Baum/Mitchell Stern/Anthony Hsu
4x4x4 speed: Michael Gottlieb/Jason Baum/Mitchell Stern
5x5x5 speed: Michael Gottlieb/me/Mitchell Stern
3x3x3 blind: Rowe Hessler/Anthony Hsu/no idea
3x3x3 OH: Mitchell Stern/Rowe Hessler/Michael Gottlieb

4x4x4 and 3x3x3 OH are going to be really close.

 

[masterofthebass]

Blind may go to Alex Yu... Also, OH can go to Jason as well.

 

[sam]

Due to the outstanding number of people coming (and competing) i may need to run pyraminx and magics as a side event. I will also need a lot of judges and scramblers.

If anyone has a family member or friend who can judge that would be greatly appreciated!

Also, if anyone could take videos and picture i would like that as well.

[Harris Chan]

Argh, I tried convincing my parents, but it isn't going so well... It's the Easter weekend, and I have both the Friday and the Monday off, so I thought there might be a possibility. But my parents kind of made the point that there will be another competition in April in Canada anyway, and the driving is like 8 hours, the hotel, blah blah blah -.-"

Isn't today the day that the registration closes? So I can't register tomorrow if somehow I convinced my parents?

If you do this, then make SURE that all the judges know enough of the rules for each event... -.-

I think Sam can make an exception for you.

 

[sam]

yeah, I'm not really closing registration, i just wanted to know how many people would be coming so i didn't get shocked at the number that showed up.

Harris, you are more than welcome to sign up whenever .

Good luck everyone!

Sam

Hi Sam, I think we met at the Kearny Kardinal competition last month. I just wanted to let you know that I just registered, but there is only a 50% chance that I'll be able to make it there.
age: 39.
events: 3x3 and 3x3 blindfold.
Thanks,
Auburn

 

[sam]

yeah, i do remember you! if it wouldn't be much trouble, could you fill out the registration form anyhow? (even if you're not coming i would just like to have you pre-registered anyway)

Sam

 

[sam]

Alright.
These past couple days it seems that i was not getting the emails, luckily they were backed up and i could put them on the list.

If any of these are wrong or your events need to be changed, please tell me!
(also, Harris are you coming?)

Harris, PLEASE come!
You would make my day(x130) if you came!

Also, Sam, could you add me to 4x4(speedsolve) and Fewest moves?

Just a quick note:

Come on! Go for youngest multi solver! 4x4x4, enough people have done, but multi, you can still place low.

 

[qqwref]

I've been practicing 4x4x4 a lot recently (but not 5x5x5 that much). I think I have about a 20% chance of beating the 4x4 NaR average, but about the same chance of beating my own PB 5x5 average I think the 5x5x5 will go to you, Jon.

Gah!
Whatever, I'll try it
Thanks for encouraging to me to do this, I hope it will end up good.
Guess like I'll have to practice Multi on the car-ride up.

Also: I don't think there is a Statistic for Youngest and Oldest Multi'ers..

Only if we get different scrambles and mine happen to be easy.

Edit: Changing predictions:
3x3x3 speed: Harris Chan/Jason Baum/Mitchell Stern
4x4x4 speed: Michael Gottlieb/Jason Baum/Mitchell Stern
5x5x5 speed: Michael Gottlieb/me/Mitchell Stern
3x3x3 blind: Rowe Hessler/Alexander Yu/Anthony Hsu
3x3x3 OH: Mitchell Stern/Rowe Hessler/Michael Gottlieb

3x3x3 just got way closer!

Edit: Rowe can't make it to Princeton.

 

[striderxo]

Will there be name tags? :]

What's cutoff for finals? top 8? I'm hoping 19 average will make finals --'

 

[sam]

Cutoff will be at around 20 seconds... (top 16-20 make the finals).
I am only having 2 3x3 rounds.

 

[dolphyfan]

Hey,
Does anyone going to this competition have a spare rubiks 4x4 center piece that they would be willing to sell for one or two dollars? Thanks
