World Championships 2013 - Las Vegas

2nd on psych sheets for 3BLD and MBLD, just like how I'm second in the country for both of those events. I guess I'll always be second for everything :/
 
I noticed this on the official website
"The WC 2013 organizational team is financially liable for rooms if we do not meet our quota, so we ask for your cooperation and assistance in making this year's event possible."
What if one were to book a different room than the "classic"? i.e. not using the group code? Could you still advise them that you are part of the comp and therefore be allocated to the quota?

Yes, as long as you book with the booking code, we should be fine. So you can book whatever room you want. Our requirement is based on the number of room nights and so it doesn't really matter what type of room you book as long as it is at the Riviera.

I highly recommend everyone to book rooms at the Riviera. Booking a room at the Riviera helps our organizational team out, and honestly there will be a lot going on after the main part of the competition so I can't stress how much the convenience of having a room in the Riviera is worth.

Also, if you stay at the Riviera, you don't have to go outside to get to/from the competition. It is really, really hot out.
 
Don't miss it just because you don't think you can complete an average of 5. Think of it instead as an opportunity to experience a world championship and meet and interact with awesome cubers from all over the world. When's the next time you'll get to do that?
 
You got a point. I still don`t know yet thought... I guess I will go.

at least you have an option. I tried to convince my parents to let me get my drivers permit and liscence to drive 24 hours down to Las Vegas by myself just to go to Worlds and meet all the different people there and try to make some friends xD (i'm socially awkward)
 
I`m not going. The cutoffs are to low for me to get a average of 5. But it`s worlds for course it`s going to have low cutoffs. :-)

It's ages away, just practise hard at the events you like. I expect the cutoffs will be increased with time anyway, although we'll have to wait and see about that.
