Could we please keep the suggestions actually reasonable?

I'll try to be there and help out any way I can. I'll be busy late october, but I should be able to make the first two weekends in october.

Cool I will be there and help out.
I would recommend setting aside 40~60 minutes for 4x4 and 5x5 first rounds.
for prizes you may try to contact some local puzzle(or not) stores and see if they can donate anything.
event suggestions:
sq 1 cutoff of 1:30 is kind of high maybe 1:00 or less would be better?
5x5 cutoff also isn't proportional to 4x4(it doesn't take twice as long to solve)
maybe add pyra, I know deven is quite good but doesn't get to compete often.
(semi less reasonable) I like FMC.

Thanks! and maybe we could have you and every one else who wants to do FMC do their 2x2 first round and 3x3 first round solves first, then do FMC; then go onto the normal schedule.

1:15 cutoff seems a little low.
I think it's usually around 1:30?

just changed it. i think the cut-offs are pretty reasonable now.

So the registration cost is 3+n, right? You're not charging $4 per event, are you?
Good luck with that!
If you need a website, I can make you one. Just send me a PM.

That was the original price without me looking at other competitions and their registration prices. I now changed the price to a lower (and simpler to understand) price: Registration fee: $6 for first event $2 for each after
I got that price from Caltech Winter 2010 because it was a competition with a quite similar list of events.

12:15-1:00: Lunch, Rubik's Magic & Master Magic Combined Final
4:10-4:45: Square-1, and Clock
Would anyone else prefer that change?
I'll be there for sure. All the cutoffs look fair and lots of events = lots of cubing funness.

Alright, this makes a lot more sense now. I knew that magic/mm looked a little out of place. Thanks.

Ambitious schedule. It might be doable, but I think you're going to run behind right when you get to big cubes, just because it only takes 2-3 people who do a 7 minute solve to suck up a significant number of your timers. Also, you're going to need to find people willing to scramble the more obscure puzzles (aka 6/7/clock), which might be difficult. Adam has wayyy too much experience though.
Berkeley's considering 10/10 and 10/24 as competition dates, so I'm wondering if we could work something out where we don't conflict?

I know several people who are knowledgeable in scrambling for sq-1 and clock (takao, deven n., andrew, me etc.) and haven't we had 2 comps on the same weekend before? or you could have a comp on only the 24th and i could have the previous weekend. we can work it out.

Apparently my post got lost.
Bryan has already offered you a CubingUSA page, I can also easily make you one on the California subdomain (but it probably wouldn't have Jim's awesome format).
Anyhow, my main point: Caltech cubing will hopefully pick up again, with Not Kevin Y. and Clara H. starting there this year. Make sure you get them involved.

Once I can confirm the venue I will contact either you or Bryan to make a web page. And as for Caltech cubing: Do they have their own timers/displays? Because it has become apparent to me that we will need quite a lot of timers.

Ian: Adam has the caltech timers, but Michael might have some from running Utah comps not sure though.

Yeah, as I get responses it's looking more and more like 10/24 for us.
We can do 2 competitions the same weekend (we've done it with Caltech), but it does slightly affect attendance (like maybe ~5 person difference?).
As long as you have scramblers it works out. I just mentioned it because we totally failed once with sq-1 and megaminx and someone had to teach me how to scramble them.
