World Championships 2013 - Las Vegas

I'm sure the schedule is extremely tentative at this point, but considering that it wouldn't be changed without reason, I was wondering why 6x6 finals were scheduled for the first thing on Sunday morning. I would assume that most people competing in that event that they would rather not have a final held as the first event in the morning, as first morning rounds aren't the greatest for getting good times considering the lack of time to warm up/get used to doing official solves on that day.

anyway, just a suggestion. Having the finals on either Saturday or Sunday afternoon, or even at least later on Saturday morning would be much nicer.

Thanks for the feedback, I agree. I stuck it there during some late shuffling. It's a bit later now.
 
I think I want to make this my summer trip. Just me and my car and my cubes. Top down, cruising to Vegas. Oh yeah. My girlfriend too. If she wants to come.
 
I think the fees for feet are quite cheap. If I was forced to have feet in a comp I organised, I would want to charge a lot more, because

1. It's a pointless event.
2. I would want to be able to pay the scramblers and judges to compensate for them having to touch and handle cubes that have been handled with sweaty feet. Of course, if most feet solvers were women with clean and nicely manicured feet, it wouldn't that bad, but I think by far the most feet solvers aren't women with clean and nicely manicured feet. Quite the opposite I would say. (Yes, I know I'm prejudiced and I'm not going to apologise for it)

If somebody registered at door only to compete in feet, they would be paying $90 to compete in it.

Not sure why anyone would ever do this though..

Yes, you could compete in everything for $40 if you register by May 13th. Paying at the door is so exorbitant because it behooves us to know how many people are competing and in what events as we set up the tournament.

Not that I try to defend this event, but with such a fee organizers are able to buy the whole wagon of gloves and equip scramblers with them.
(Or respirators are included too? :))

So buy one for everyone and pass them out.

OT: Unfortunately, I did not get my way and feet is not $100 to compete. :p

Bob, actually, I think this might be feasible. Kian, can you add this to our list of todos? We should talk to SevenTowns about what they can provide in terms of the gift packages for registered competitors. Like, what is the cost of the pen to them? FOB from China? Probably less than a dollar each... if we talk to them, they might help us out. It'd enhance the competition, though squishies are better.
