Isn't that plagiarized? I don't see a source cited.

It's the World War II passage on Wikipedia.

Why is there info about WW II in the registration section?

just for randomness probolly

 

[moogra]

I don't have a way to pay online, so can I pay at the Berkeley Spring? Or something like that?

The reason that the registration is not online right now is because we don't have the housing situation set up yet. Once we get that negotiated, we will allow competitors to pay for on-campus dorm housing (at a cheap price I hope) with their registration.

If this is not something you need, then it may be possible for you to pay at Berkeley. Though if you live in the area, it might be fun to stay in a dorm with all the other cubers.

We can't pay for registration during the competition? I can get there early to pay if I need to. I don't know if I'm going to Berkeley 2009 100% so I don't know if I can pay then.

I can come if I make honor roll at my school last quarter. It started yesterday. I know I can't do it. Why try? My teacher's are already all set against me

It's a tip of the hat to Monty Python's Flying Circus

Well, I meant that I myself can't pay online because my parents won't let me use their credit cards or anything. I only need to pay for registration though, because I might stay at my friend's house (he lives in Palo Alto).

If you don't want to pay online, you could probably make a private arrangement with Shelley. You should contact her directly.

Registration is now open: http://caltech.cubingusa.com/usnationals2009/registration/

Please read all instructions before registering.

 

[Tyson]

Registration is now open: http://caltech.cubingusa.com/usnationals2009/registration/

Please read all instructions before registering.

In particular, just to be VERY EXPLICIT, if you have competed before, and you do not put in your WCA ID, we will treat your registration as someone with an identical name as you who has not competed before. If you do this, you will need to re-register and we will not be waiving the registration fee and you will have to pay at least double.

I cannot stress this enough. Leaving your WCA ID out will NOT BE TOLERATED IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER. If you register without a WCA ID and show up the day of, we will ask that you register again, and you will be charged $20 for the first event and $5 for each additional event.

It is absolutely imperative that you follow these directions. Ignoring these instructions will indicate a complete lack of respect to me, the organizer, and to Shelley, the creator of the universe (webpage), and to our entire staff. We have been working tirelessly for the cubing community since 2004 and this is our one and only request.

If you disobey these instructions, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will you ever be forgiven.

(I shortened it down a little as you can all see.) In other words, he who disgraces The Bob will be put to death.

 

[shelley]

Hey! The Bob had nothing to do with the webpage. Give credit where credit is due! I coded it so that after you fill in your name the WCA lookup link goes directly to the search results of your name. Your WCA ID is at most two clicks away. If you still can't figure that out I have no problem with charging you at least double the normal registration fee.

I shall never be forgiven.

 

[shelley]

That's right, 2006MERT01. Can we call you "Two-Thou'" for short?

 

[Anthony]

I'm pretty sure not too long ago I read a post by Tyson talking about how many competitions Cameron Almasi signs up for and doesn't show up to. Well guess who is apparently the first one to screw up registration. Check the competitors list.

Why no good damsel, just call me "Thou". Or, "Thou Majesty".

Actually I might have screwed it up before him, when did he register? And he also lives out there, so there's probably a good chance he will actually attend nats.

 

[shelley]

Not only did he merely mess up his registration, he's already paid for his messed up registration.

So that person may not compete as a person brand-new to cubing?

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

If for some reason you cannot submit a payment online, you may arrange for Shelley to accept a cash payment in person (e.g. at a competition). Cash payments will incur a $2 service fee.

somehow i feel ripped off... haha

It also creates more work for me when I post the results, so I will treat you like crap all weekend.
