You should try to finish a bit better in the Stefan Pochmann competition this year though.

I hope you're kidding ... I'm still embarrassed (girl-related questions wth?!) ... let's have some nice mystery puzzles instead.

Oh and other reasons I didn't read the qualification stuff are that I intend to be there on time and that I've become less competitive and go more for overall fun and less for competing.
 
So it looks like things are going pretty smoothly for US Nationals. If anyone has any mystery puzzle ideas, feel free to discuss them here, or e-mail me personally.

I am actually thinking about a global mystery puzzle, where everyone around the world can compete in real time with the people live at US Nationals.

Over the Internet Team BLD?

And "Can you beat Will Smith?" Pick a competitor, and have them go up against Hollywood's most famous cuber in a head-to-head matchup. Round 1: Will Smith reprises his Oscar-nominated performace as Chris Gardner and you square off on the cube. Round 2: Will demonstrates hi musical ability by having a quick round of "American Idol" against the two competitors. Round 3: Will Smith reprises his other Oscar-nominated performance as Muhammad Ali and you box.

Best 2 out of three wins.

Wait, can't you just do all three at once?

I like where this is going...
 
Yes, the hotel is a bit far. The dorms should be a much better choice for EVERYONE. I would recommend the dorms over the hotel. The distance is probably about a 15 minute walk... probably less than the walk from the hotel to the venue in Atlanta, but a bit farther than Chicago.
 
So if I registered but did not pay, how do I pay the money so I can show up on the list?

I don't get it. If you met the B Standard, how do you know how many spots there are in an event to see if you qualified?

I don't think anyone will really know until the day of the event. Available spots depend on how well everyone else does in qualification. If you meet the B standard, I'm sure they will let you know whether or not you made it into the first round.

Oh, so it's not a specified amount determined beforehand.

There is a predetermined amount of seats available. The way I understand it is that everyone whose already qualified gets a seat as well as everyone who meets the A standard. From there they will fill the rest of the seats in order of how well people performed in the B standard. So it could be that no one from B standard makes it to the first round, or just one makes it, or half make it. It just depends on how everyone does on the day, unless everything fills up beforehand, which would then mean that only the A standard will get seats.
