Yeah. There were a lot of scheduling issues.

 

[Lazer]

Registration opens in about 40 minutes! Are you ready?

 

[Lazer]

Registration is open and half full. Register fast!

 

[Ranzha]

Three rounds of 2x2? With that sort of time, you could've held 7 other events, including FMC mean!

 

[Lazer]

It is now full! I'm excited to see all of you there that will be competing / spectating!

Is there anyone leaving from Houston willing to give me a ride? I will pay for gas. I am studying in College Station but I can get to IAH with the airport shuttle. It's my first competition in the States and I hope to make new cuber friends here!

There are a few Houston cubers on the registered competitors list -- try contacting Sumeet/Shonathon (sa11297/PanCakez001).

See you there!

Beat me in what? 2x2? Everyone can do that!

What do you average in 5-7?

 

[IamWEB]

woops

I should have practiced before now!

Are you Sumeet in disguise?

 

[IamWEB]

Are you Sumeet in disguise?

Nah, I'm just old. :3

 

[EvilGnome6]

What do you average in 5-7?

5x5 is around 2:50
6x6 is around 5:40
7x7 is around 8:00

I'll be content if I make the soft cutoff on 5x5 and the hard cutoff on the other two. I'm pleased with the progress I've made on 5x5 but the bigger cubes are taking longer to develop the dexterity. Still, not too bad considering the 7x7 was talking me 15 minutes when I registered for the competition.

Not very impressive, I know but I have yet to meet anyone else over 40 with a sub 30 3x3 or even attempts the big cubes.

 

[IamWEB]

I'm impressed.

An award will be named after the one who is faster between William and Sumeet. The faster competitor will have the "Competitor name" for winging it award.
