[redbeat0222]

At Worlds (I'm not going to be there) I'm expecting some records to be set and some stunning times.

Woah, are you really sure?

Pseudo-obligatory post stating my planned attendance.

Competition registration, plane ticket, and hotel registration have all been completed!

Is there going to be a livestream akin to the one at WC '11?

I would also like to ask this. Me and Austin have been thinking about doing some interviews at WC as part of a cubecast thing, and if there is live streaming we would be happy to help out with it if it means we can use it to do interviews over as well. I've kind of sketched out a plan in this thread: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...ive-Cubecast-And-Or-Video-Feed-at-Worlds-2013

Hi, I have some questions about unofficial competitions.

• Is there time-limit for each event?
• Could I see the schedule? For example, if I want to compete in Skewb and International Cube Relay, which date (Friday/Saturday) should I go to the venue?

No offence but 95% of us just want a video stream so prioritize that over cubecast. Thanks for looking into it :tu

Yeah of course, I mean I would prefer the live feed over the Cubecast stuff as well, but I just thought in the gaps between rounds and stuff it would be nice to interview some people. The focus would be on the comp thought.

Currently, the time limit is 10 minutes for every event, but it is subject to change if we find that we are running behind schedule. Any changes to the time limit will be announced before an event begins.

The way the schedule works is that we will be doing each event, likely in the order that it is listed on the website, and getting through as many events as we can on Friday, and finishing the rest on Saturday. We will only go into Saturday if we cannot finish all the events on Friday. I recommend arriving on Friday, or getting a friend who is at the unofficial competition to contact you if it turns out that your event is coming up soon.

We are driving jack.

I am so incredibly excited for this, being my first time attending worlds. I really look forward to meeting all my fellow blind solvers

I've been slacking the last two weeks on blind, time to get back on the horse. I'm already feeling weird thinking I'll be seeing some people from the forums there in person.

Felix...I still owe you a rematch w/the water gun horse racing...cheater!

yay, me too.

 

[FatBoyXPC]

Good luck.

I just remembered I'm an *****. It's not water gun, it's those stupid balls that go into the holes. Wow why is a synonym for "stupid person" being starred out?!

Does the venue have floor or carpet?

Does the venue have floor or carpet?

I'm pretty sure most venues have floors, unless it happens to be a bottomless pit In all seriousness, I would guess carpet but I can't be sure.

 

[cubernya]

Does the venue have floor or carpet?

If this is the same venue as last year (for Nats) then carpet IIRC from the pictures

 

[Divineskulls]

It's the same hotel, but a bigger room, iirc. I remember being in it, but I can't be sure if it had carpet or not... I would guess carpet, though, to match the other event rooms.

 

[Riley]

I think it's a very flat and tight carpet.
