Toronto Limited, Spring 2016

[Sa967St]

From canadianCUBING's Facebook page:

We are happy to finally announce the next Toronto competition. It is being held on April 30 at the YMCA in Toronto. Visit the website for all the information. Be sure to read carefully, things have changed.

To answer questions that many will likely have, yes, we are going back to the YMCA after all this time. In order to make that work, we decided we must limit the number of competitors. We chose 150. To ensure someone isn't taking a spot who isn't serious about coming, we need to have payment up front.

This approach is quite common in other parts of the world. However, it isn't what we desire to have. We very much liked the way we used to have competitions - open for all.

We will continue to search for a venue that is big enough, in the right location, with the right parameters to allow us to hold open competitions again in Toronto. But we needed to compromise while that quest continues as it was far too long between competitions as it was.

It's been 24 hours and 143 of 150 spots have been taken, I registered one hour after registration opened and there were already 75 people signed up, the demand in Toronto is crazy.

Every time we have a competition near me, I can't make it.

aww no square one

 

[NewCuber000]

Damn, how did this even happen ? 0_0. Less than a year ago toronto's biggest competition was 139 competitors or something. Then all of a sudden 250+ people go to a competition, and an 150 competitor limit is full in one day for the next!

Dang, Bill was able to register before the registration filled up :3

 

[Xtremecubing]

I wonder how long the waiting list is going to be........

 

[IAmEpic2004]

My guess is around another 150 people, except most of the people would've saw the competitor list and just gave up
I also liked it better when there were plenty of events and not many rounds.

There were still 75 spots when I was going to register. But I found out I can't make it that weekend

Schedule.

Schedule.

Nice, 20 people make 3x3 finals, so when I butcher my second round average I'll still have a chance at making finals.

Probably a long shot, but anyone taking the 53 Steeles bus to the competition on Saturday?

So in the first round of OH, I got a 19 to start. It was 19.83 if I remember correctly. On cubecomps, this solve is listed as 14.83, which is wrong. I don't know if the judge's 9 looked like 4 or what, but it's not actually a 14. I'm wondering what I should do about this?
Thanks for your help

Maybe message Dave about the problem? I'm pretty sure they keep scorecards from the competition.

You definitely look like a pro wrestler to me.

Use the contact form on the canadian cubing site and someone can check the scorecard.

Hey, I know at this competition they said that they would announce the next Toronto competition at the end of first 3x3 round. Unfortunately I wasn't there at that time, and nothing seems to be up in Canadian Cubing's website yet. Does anybody have information on this?
