World Championships 2013 - Las Vegas

Yea exactly, but the problem is that I lost that page. I guess I'll try making a new e-mail and re-register with that one.

I'd contact the organizers with your registration information and see if they can send you a new payment link. They're very quick at returning e-mails.

Should I be concerned if I signed up a week and a half ago and my name still isn't on the competitors list?

You probably still have to pay

I registered just a few days ago, and I'm on the list. I'd contact the organizers...

The first place prize is quite interesting, wouldn't have expected that lol. Also, I noticed that Andrew Ricci didn't sign up, even though he's supposed to have a free trip since he won Nats 2012. Does anyone know if he's coming?

 

[stevecho816]

lol third place for feet only gets $0.50

 

[masterofthebass]

I'm quite disappointed.

 

[Vincents]

I'm quite disappointed.

Why?

Only a very small subset of people on this forum can help you with a problem like this, and those people aren't checking forums all the time. There's a contact form on the website that will send a message directly to those who can actually do something about it.

Why?

That Andrew Ricci isn't coming.

Is there any reason that feet has 100 times smaller prizes that the rest other than it's popularity?

Because US organizers hate feet, I'm pretty sure.

Kit! Long time no see man. Remember that time I said I'd probably never see you again?? Who would have thought!

 

[Riley]

Are the feet prizes a joke? They may be funny, but paying $15 to win $2 does not seem at all fair.

 

[kcl]

See, what pisses me off is that I can't be there. >: (

Really? I think 5x5x5 BLD has improved lots in the last few months. I predict over 20 total solves this year. (That's counting multiple solves from individual people - I also predict at least one mean of 3 from someone at this competition.) Remember, too, that we get 3 attempts here, not the 2 that have often happened at previous WCs.

Thanks for clarifying about the 3 attempts. I actually thought there would only be 1 attempt, making a "solve" and a "solver" effectively the same thing.
I now expect about 25 solvers to do a successful solve, but I don't expect many people to do 3 successful solves. If you already did 1 successful, wouldn't you just try to go extremely fast the next attempt to increase your chances of winning?

I am sure they are a joke, but they are also extremely disrespectful. Either you don't organize feet or you take it seriously!

Feet still has way bigger prizes than pyra and mega combined for Worlds 2009, 2011 combined

Looking forward to my first competition. Do cubes have to follow the conventional sticker colors and schematic?

Nope, as long as the stickers are all different colours.

Great! My only 2^3 is a LanLan, and in case I don't get a better one prior to the competition, I wanted to make sure the purple wouldn't be a problem. Thanks for your help!

If you go to a competition it is expected that you have read this: http://worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/
If you go to a World Championship doubly so
