IMPORTANT QUESTION!...so...what time are we all gonna meet up or what time are you guys going there, ill probably be there all day.

Riceball92 · **Posted:** Sat Nov 15, 2008 10:52 am

I'm coming up from around Boston, and since the competition registration starts around 9 am or so, my family is going down 1 day early. I'll be leaving around 3 on the day before, and will be around Valhalla around 8ish I would guess if we stop for some food. Then we'll just stay the night in a hotel, and go to the competition in the morning.

I am coming up from Philadelphia at around 6:30. I will probably be there around 9:00. I will be staying all day. I am also bringing up my friend, Jack. He will be competing for the first time, so please give him some words of encouragement if you see him.

There probably will be tables set up. Are you gonna bring the dino Rhombic dodahedron? And is that the secret puzzle you said you will be bringing?

Here is an official announcement from the organisational team:

Organizational Team wrote:

Hello Everyone,
The Westchester Fall 2008 Competition is coming up on Saturday, and
we just have a few notes we would like to share about your role in the
competition.

First, all competitors must be familiar with the WCA regulations, and
you should look them over, even if you have before. The regulations
can be found here:
http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/

As for directions and locations, I would advise those of you who are
using GPS systems to use the address "Westchester Medical Center" and
then follow the directions given from the competition page or from
Google maps. For those of you using Google maps, please use the link
provided here, as all other links from Google maps are slightly off.
The directions and Google maps page are here:
http://maps.Google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en≥ocode=&q=cedarwood+hall&jsv=137c&sll=41.09216,-73.780231&sspn=0.067533,0.11055&ie=UTF8&latlng=41083369,-73807570,9167994234363906385&ei=AhomSZqfM4aCNIvguYoN&cd=2

http://www.freewebs.com/westchestercubi ... evenue.htm

The registration cost is $5 per competitor, and anyone who would like
to buy pizza during lunch may do so for $2.

The competition starts at 9:00AM, and should end at about 5:30PM.

Please feel free to post this email on any cube related site or pass
it on to cubers who may not be preregistered, as I hope that this
email will provide information to everyone who plans to come.
Good luck to everyone, do the best you can, and lets see how many
records we can break!

I'll be arriving at around 10am

Scott Bedard · **Posted:** Fri Nov 21, 2008 3:59 pm

Uhm drew, i believe registration is around 9am, so if you want to compete you might want to show up earlier.

True. Unless you din't wanna compete, and just wanna go to meet cubers.

im going to be getting there at around 9:00, im competing in 2x2, 3x3, and magic.

unfoortunatly, my latest mod has had a bit of disaster....i was building an edges only cube, and i had cut all the pieces from plastic cards, adn de stictered and sanded my 3x3. when i went to glue the pieces on, the glue overfload, and spilled all into the cube, so i am not going to be able to bring it, becasuse it will take me a few days to clean up the pieces.

i will bring my half truncated cube, and capsule cube, and whatever i can stirr up tonight.

It was about 3.5 - 4 hours from the Boston area. However, there was some traffic, so I think it could've been 2.5-3 hours had there been none.

Okay, I need to know some of your real names if you're going because if i see you, and call you by your username, it would sound weird. lol. Like for example, if i say "hey, ihatefraulwalgreen, its me" everyone else is gonna say stuff behind my back like "weirdo" lol.

Adam
Other people

and i saw brendan, but I'm not sure which one. The one that had a little brother.

my commute was only 30 min.

but putting that aside....IT WAS AWSOME!!!

playing with all of drews new stuff was great, as well as seeling what other peopple built, but i think the best part was meeting eachother in person, you are all great ppl, and i cant wait till the next event!

P.S....the teraminx was like no other puzzle, as well as adam's super x cube, or what ever its called(the 2x2 and dino thing)

Check out my youtube channel(in my signature) I have tons of videos from the competition.

Riceball92 · **Posted:** Sun Nov 23, 2008 12:13 am

Got a 27.14 average on the 3x3x3, which was a lot better than I thought I'd get. My little brothers did pretty well too, Timmy got a 52 average on the 3x3x3, which is 10x better than what he was getting at home. I absolutely bombed 2x2x2 and magic, but hey, that's where I'll improve

Unfortunately 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 were canceled, which was basically what I was looking forward to the whole time, but whatever, that's life.

I also got to meet a couple of builders, like Puzzlemaster42 and Drewseph. I wondered where Timmy was for like 2 hours, and I found him and he said, "Sorry Brendan, I'm hanging out with all the cool people" which I guess was where the builders' table was

I hope that little 8 year old wasn't too annoying...

I'd upload some pictures to Drewseph's thread, but my SD card reader on my computer seems to be broken

LOL your little brother wasn't too annoying. I saw you, but didn't know who you were at the time.

That was the greatest experience of my life. I loved playing with Drew's, Adam's, and Scott's puzzles. They were absolutely fantastic. I can't thank you guys enough for the opportunity to play with them. On top of all the excitement of the custom puzzles, I also got a new personal best of 31.68.

I couldn't have asked for any more. To everyone who came, I enjoyed meeting you. I hope we can do this again!

Also a special thanks to Drew who answered all of my questions and accepted all of my requests for pictures. I know you said you thought it was odd for people to think of you as a celebrity, but that's the price you have to pay for being an awesome puzzle builder. :wink:

Sounds like a very exciting meet. Makes the Pasadena Comp seem boring

do they run this every year? if so lets make it tradition to all meet up at the westchester comp like we did yesterday.

and dont feel bad about doing poorly at the comp, i did alright on the 2x2, but totaly bombed the 3x3 aand magic as well. on the 3x3 i didnt know how to use the competition timer(they take too long to turn green) and DNFed twice, and the magic i came in last, :shock:

all those little girls beat me

because my fingers are too big, and i cant pick up the magic off of a table when its laying flat.

I'd love to go! Kind of a long drive for me. About 4 1/2 hours, but if Drewseph could make it to the Westchester competition, I can make it to the Carnegie Melon competition!

My dad said it was kinda far, but he said maybe. If yes, this would be the last comp I could go to for the year.
