UIndy Open 2011

The reason why times are so long for 2x2 and 3x3 is because this is the first time I've hosted a competition. I have talked extensively with some organizers and delegates to make sure i do this right. Remember, it's always easier to add events if we have time. As for doing an event during lunch, we'll have to leave the room for lunch (for the most part, unless people order stuff in). I think holding a competition when people are going to be gone just seems like a bad idea.

From the looks of it, we should easily be ahead of time. There have been a decent handful of requests for 4x4 and more OH. I specifically made Megaminx tentative because it's not done often around here.

2x2 is also one of my favorite events, and I know the KOIi group for the most part seems to enjoy a good amount of 2x2. You said you're going to accept it as a small cube competition, that's a good idea, because I didn't intend on having larger cubes :P

Honestly though, with the way this looks, it looks like we'll have a fair bit of free time. All I ask is those that are going, please be eager to help judge and scramble so we can have more events!

I second this. Helping out will help things move along quickly and smoothly. Help out in any way needed, I promise: it adds to your competition experience. While hanging out with other cubers is a really cool experience, competing is the most exciting part, and more rounds = a better competition experience for you.

To add, I'm really excited for this :) Competitions on the smaller end are my personal preference.
 
:/ 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.
I'm thinking going to the comp will change their minds. My mom has taken me to two, and she doesn't really care, but my dad is the one who hates it the most. They think playing with it lowers my grades (I still get straight A's), but that isn't proof. They're afraid I'll end up a fat, no-life person (even though I'm really skinny). No, I'm not asian.
He gets the impression that all cubers look like this

David: Show him videos of Erik and Feliks. They are very far from even "over weight," much less fat, and they're both icons in this community. In fact, you could show him a lot more people than that, just not me, obviously :D:D
 
Thanks guys, I know it changed the mind of my mom and sister when they went to one with me, mainly because everybody was dressed normally and was cool and stuff. Plus, this is in a University right? That will probably prove something too. Is it on campus?
 
I registered a few days ago.. It came up quicker than I anticipated! I wanted to practice some 2x2 and megaminx, but never got around to it. Oh well
 
Only 1 week away! I will be selling some barley used, great condition 3x3's. White GH 3x3, 2 Black C4Y 3x3's (one bright cubesmith stickers, 1 cubesmith textured tiles, bright one looks and turns amazing), Haiyans Haiyans cube, along with a broken in and fast DS 2x2 and more.
Can't wait!
 
Yes, this week is coming up quick! 31 registered competitors, but there are a few who I thought would be there who haven't registered yet (S Jt Maupin (jms_gears) and Chester).

Well I think Mike and Chester are the only ones around here that really do 5BLD and neither of them have registered.

I meant to practice for this, I even started learning CMLL, but before I knew it time flew by and now the competition is in less than a week.
