The Battle of Lexington

[nlCuber22]

I'm leaving tomorrow. Woo.

lol, living far away...

As in, for the hotel. >.> I live like 6 hours away, lol.

 

[cincyaviation]

Just got my first sub20 avg5, hoping that Lexington treats me as well Anybody know yet if there will be any 2x2's for sale?

i would sell mine if it weren't so deliciously buttery

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Would you mind letting me borrow it for 2x2 round if we compete at different times?

not at all, i plan on going all 3 rounds though

If you and him are competing at the same time, but at a different time than me, I'll be happy to let you use mine. It's a pretty nice Black LanLan. I'll most likely be wearing a sky blue shirt that says West Virginia on it (specifically; with an Under Armour logo on it too).

Is this another episode of the planning what to wear to a compeition thing?

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Well you know how they don't have all 30 competitors or whatever all do it at the same time. I mean, it's the same round but they've only got so many tables

nlCuber, is the LanLan normal color scheme?

Yes, lol.

It has the purple replaced with orange, and the stickers are Cubesmith standard, but yes, it is the BOY color scheme.

Here's a video of it in it's current state:

 

[cincyaviation]

mine has standard color scheme with orange also if you wanted to know

 

[FatBoyXPC]

I did want to know, hopefully be able to borrow one of those I'm actually hoping I get my 2x2 fixed in the mean time. I tried the screw / spring mod (eastsheen) and it hasn't worked out so well yet (I need smaller heads on the screws).

I love that I don't have to say what my outfit will be =P

Just look for the guy with the beard.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

You're coming all the way from ATL?

 

[krnballerzzz]

I'm driving up tomorrow baby! Woot woot! Lexington here I come!

 

[Hadley4000]

You're coming all the way from ATL?

Yup. Andrew Kang and I are driving up tomorrow. Only 6 hours.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Hah, only 6 hours, that's a long drive! It's about 3 for me, still kind of a long drive when I have to wake up at 5:30AM!

PS: Andrew, go check your Speedcubing Podcast thread, but I guess I could always talk to you about it more Saturday hah!

 

[cincyaviation]

only 34 competitiors?
and its a 2 hour drive for me

 

[Hadley4000]

About to head out!

 

[FatBoyXPC]

if I practice hard enough and the guys in 9 and 10 spot don't improve more than me, I'll be in top 10 34 isn't that many :/ but hey it's better than no comp at all!

I'm reading the WCA Regulations again, and I'm just making sure I don't screw anything up unintentionall. Does rule 3j) "Puzzles must be clean and must not have any markings, elevated pieces, damages, or other differences that distinguish one piece from a similar piece." apply to chipped stickers in this case?

I think I can still give you a run for your money. I think you're better than me, but we're really close. On a good day, I might have a chance.

As for chipped stickers, that rule isn't generally enforced super-strictly. In most cases, the biggest concern is with BLD, where you might be able to feel the difference, but generally I've not seen it enforced even then. I like to use tiles so I won't get in any trouble with BLD, but stickers are often a mess even on the best cubers' cubes. Look at the video of Feliks breaking the WR - if I recall correctly, they were rather messy.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Oh you will Mike, no worries. I haven't seen such low ao5's, I think it's due to all the new time I have here recently so I have been practicing a LOT. Honestly since it's only my 2nd comp, I'll probably still get a bit nervous and wouldn't be surprised at all if you beat me, I'm honestly not that fast yet

Thanks, I was curious about this, didn't want to have to resticker if I didn't have to.
