Any questions?

 

[cuber952]

WTF. Why isnt there 4x4 or 5x5?

 

[FatBoyXPC]

I wanted to focus on smaller cubes, and if we have more time on events that don't get held too often (megaminx, sq-1) in the area.

 

[TheMachanga]

Does the mystery even involve food?


No 4x4??
I think I can make it. I already planned to go to a comp around this time, and this is close, so I think I'll go.


Soooooo, Chicago got pushed back?


EDIT: 100% chance I am going.
Goals: (posting so I won't forget). Sub 14 average, sub 2 5x5 solves, maybe average (if held), 1 or more sub 1 4x4's (if held), sub 5 2x2, sub 2:30 BLD.

Someone drive me.

I think I'll let the mystery event remain a mystery

SQ-1 is almost always held in our area. I haven't competed in 4x4 in forever.

I'll be there unless something major happens and I can't.


As I've already told you, if you need any help feel free to ask me.

It's a bit of a drive for me, but I think I'll go. Now to convince my mom to drive over 5 hours for a cubing competition...

I'm surprised that neither Chester or Mike have registered.
I'm looking at the schedule, and there are some things I want to talk about.
I honestly don't think it takes a full hour for the first 2x2 round. I've compared it to other competitions of 40-70 competitors, and the first 2x2 round is always 30-45 minutes. This competition looks like it's going to be a small one also.
I also think it is unnecessary for 3 rounds of 2x2. I suggest 2. There aren't very many competitors again and there doesn't seem to be very many serious 2x2ers in the midwest.
I also suggest holding something during lunch, preferably something with little competitors like 7x7 (not saying we should have it, just pointing the fact not many would do that), big-cubes BLD, or something quick, like magic.
The 3x3 round 1 also looks a bit long :/.

I don't know what you think of what I am saying or suggesting, but please don't take it wrong.

Does anyone have an extra set of square 1 stickers? I just need to replace my top side, and I can't place any orders or anything because my parents hate cubing. As a matter of fact, they want me to throw away all my cubes after the comp because I already competed and there's no point of continuing to cube.
Bump for this and edits above.

Reply to below: I'm now going to accept this will be a small cube competition.

2x2 is my favorite event and I was pretty happy when I saw there would be three rounds. It's shaping up to be a relatively small competition, and I'm sure three rounds of 2x2 will NOT hurt anything. I think that even with the tentative events added on, we might be able to have an OH final.

indy open is going to be awesome its my first comp.

 

[cuber952]

what color do you need for the top?

 

[TheMachanga]

what color do you need for the top?

I currently use black and white for my top and bottom. I need black. However, I use textured stickers. Idk if there's a rule saying you can't have both textured and regular stickers, so if you have a full set I'll buy it from you.

 

[cuber952]

i dont have a complete set. What do you avg for Sq 1?

:/ about anticubing parents. What have you tried to do to change their minds? I'm calling for backup from the community, this is a code red. Soldiers stand by.

40-50
