US competitions..

I'll be in Japan 3/17-3/26 on a school trip. Darn...
Who's the other?

Now hang on, let's back up the bus a bit here.

Just before we get too presumptuous, is this trip to Japan one of regular interval, or more like a once-in-a-lifetime trip for your Japanese class?

If the first: then ok, maybe it is a bit of a bummer.
If the second: this would be what I did, and it is still the best thing I have ever done in my life!!

It's a once-in-a-lifetime kinda thing.

Holding your own competiton

If you want one enough and there aren't any near you, then you will (or should) organize one.

So, if you were to hold your own competition, is there any way to make the times count with WCA? I don't actually know any WCA delegates... what are the options. Can you video tape it or something.

Bob Burton has a pretty good tutorial on setting up a competition: http://www.cubewhiz.com/competition.html

And why do people think that video taped solves count as official? -.-

There's a list of WCA Delegates at http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/?q=node/271, you can ask people on that list if you're looking for one.
