Will there be live video streaming?

Is Spanish also a common language in Brazil?

We're not sure yet, but hopefully yes.

Not that much. When Natán was here, we were talking in english because it was easier for both of us
But people may understand most of what is said in spanish.

Registration is now open!

Check the website.

Katie and I registered - can't wait to see you all in São Paulo!

 

[Pedro]

There's a slight issue with the payment detection - it detects, but is assigning paid values to the wrong events.

Please don't register or pay again. This will be solved shortly.


EDIT
It is fixed now. All payments were received and confirmed. (Except for Chris Hardwick's which I thought was a duplicate but wasn't )

 

[Pedro]

There will be a 500 competitors limit, due to the venue limitations.

Registration is not confirmed until you pay the fee. If you didn't pay in the moment of registering, just log in, click My Registrations on the top menu and click the "Pay registration" button.

I guess this won't be the world's biggest competition.

I guess this won't be the world's biggest competition.

It being in Brazil I wouldn't anticipate it anyway.

 

[megaminxwin]

So it turns out that, despite everything I thought, I actually am going to this competition.

So excited.

Haven't signed up yet, but I'm definitely going. Awesome.

See? Even if you're absolutely sure you can't go, things can change over a very short period of time. You might be surprised.

Is there any chance of getting the competitors list ordered by country? It's so difficult to look through when ordered by name >.<

CTL F!

cuttlefish? (damn, I'm good at letter pairs)

I would probably decode cuttlefish to mean CTFS instead

What?! Nevermind...

This, and a psych sheet would also be really nice

 

[Pedro]

Well, that can be done. I didn't realise the WCA website has it ordered by country.

Personally I think it is easier to find a person by name...maybe I'll have an option to click and order differently.

If any of the organizers wants to take over the first post in this thread to add more information, you can let me or another moderator know.

Yes, if you're looking for a particular person. If you want to browse, it's horrible.
