Vancouver Open '09

Okay, well i added square-1 to the registration now, as someone is going to come just to compete in it (can you guess who?). So in order to accommodate, i made it official. If you have registered already, you can click on the edit link in the auto email you received to add this event to your registration. I encourage you to do so as it helps with the organization process.

I suppose i should point out that we are still weeks away and we are now up to 25 competitors, so it is possible we get more people register closer to the date. So i will echo what Bryan said above. Please don't enter an event for which you don't know how to solve, or will take an exceptionally long time to complete compared to the rest of the competitors (of course, 6x6 and 7x7 will naturally take longer for everyone but Kris and Ibrahim). We want to get through all 10 events and not be rushed, but if people are wasting time at the timer stations, we will have difficulty achieving that goal.

We will definitely have cut off times now.

lol I actually rarely touch my 6x6 and 7x7; Ibrahim's minutes faster than me.
 
and if there is square-1 i'll have to be in it just so i can compete in everything, even though i don't know parity and i forgot a couple of algs...

I just signed up for BLD because it was free, i've never done under 10min. and i've only done 3 succesful solves ever.

You don't know parity for Square-1 and you've never done BLD under 10 minutes, and you still sign up for them?

Please don't do that. It's a waste of everyone's time.

I'm just going to try 1 BLD solve so I don't waste time, I'll DNS the rest
And I'm just going to do square-1 until I get a succesful solve. Hopefully it won't take longer than if I was actually good at those events.

edit: I just did a 6:01 BLD

Looks like I'll be doing a full average for everything but 7x7 :)

I have a question though. If say, someone like Hays, gets parity on his first square-1 solves and DNF's it as a result. Will he still be able to do a full average because of the 3:00 limit?

EDIT: BTW, Liberty Speedcubing Team will be cleaning up in magic. Watch out!

I might have to learn square-1 parity so I can do an average, because I average 2:00 otherwise.

In agreement with dbax0999, Liberty speedcubing team will definetaly be dominating in the magic department. Possibly a sub-1.1 average?
 
I hope that there will be merchandise, so i can get new cubes, because my cubes broke.
