UK Championship 2014

[TDM]

Are you both competing?

Yes...

 

[JakeShiel]

Yes. It's my first competition

Last year, when I went to the UK Championship 2013, I was sent an email about asking for staff to help judge/scramble
Will this be the case this year? Because last year I didn't get accepted because my email went missing o.O
Will there be free/purchasable t-shirts like last year as well?

Thanks for doing this, can't wait

We are not using a 'staff' system. Everyone will be expected to help, especially in the other groups of events they are competing in.
There will be free t-shirts for competitors.

Can I register for 2x2 and megaminx if I'm going to borrow someone's cubes who is also going to the competition. If I can, can I not be put in the same group as them ?

Yes, you can do that. I can add you once I know what name you registered as (I see no Jake Shiel)
Please pm/email me with the grouping restrictions you require a week before the competition, because I'll forget if you don't!

 

[JakeShiel]

I've now registered as Jake Shiel

I've now registered as Jake Shiel

Ah ok. I see you've added those events anyway. Yeah, just let me know what you need in terms of groupings a week before

Hey, my buddy and I are registering. First competition for both of us, so a couple of questions. I believe that Stickerless cubes were agreed to be legalised, but I'm not sure when. I think it was turn of 2015, so they would still be illegal for this comp. is that true? If so, is the MF8 Legend V2 competition legal?

 

[~Adam~]

Stickerless cubes are likely to be legal from 2015, so you would not be able to compete with one at UK Champs.

Just googled the MF8 Legend and it looks legal to me. Coloured plastic but the internals are one solid colour.

Edit - I checked with Daniel (delegate) and he said the surfaces need to be smooth so if it has the indentations it's also illegal.

Is the UK championships always in Leicester since it would be awesome since I live there.

It was last year and UK Open was the year before. It's roughly in the middle of the country and we have cubers who have just started uni there so it seems likely.

Not being funny.. but for some reason I am looking forward to this years UKC more than I have for any other comp.. I don't know why. I just have a feeling.

Err.. btw... who is up for MOSH again this year please

It's a dance/night club in Leicester

 

[JediJupiter]

Aww, it's only one month away from my 18th birthday. Would do it next year though!

 

[Kirjava]

[~Adam~]

I will come to this because I am looking to test a sample of speedcubers as part of my dissertation.

Basically, I am hoping to find out whether there is a correlation between experience and executive function (intelligence) and also whether these skills are transferable to the real world. It would be brilliant to see if practice, experience or skill level in cubing affects how your brain processes information in the long term and whether the skills are transferable, especially since nothing like this has been done before (relating to the Rubik's Cube, at least.) So anyone who is willing to take 20-30 minutes out in between events to take part I would be super appreciative I might treat you to a chocolate bar/energy drink or something, who knows.

I've also registered, but the dissertation comes first, so I probably won't even have time for 2x2x2. If you're interested in participating then come and find me when we're there, or PM me if you have specific questions. Thanks guys
