Australian Nationals 2012

Is it definitely going to be a public venue? Because if not I would definitely be happy with the RMIT cafeteria, with the same kind of setup as we had at MCD2011.

The atmosphere in the cafeteria just feels great, any setup would be fine. Just not somewhere noisy and distracting, also not outdoors where random things can happen.

But it has to be somewhat public........ awwwwwwwwwwww

people who are judging feel that they need to look at every score card and find someone to judge that they "like" or who are "more popular"

I think this problem is isolated to a few judges. I remember telling them to just grab a scrambled cube from the edge of the table a few competitions ago.

Please let me know if you see a judge "looking for a particular scorecard at the front of their competitor station" or "walking back to the scramble table while there are already plenty of scrambled cubes at their competitor station" so that I can stop it immediately.

There are certain exceptions that help the competition run more smoothly (e.g. pushing through a few helpers that will judge the rest of the group or allowing a competitor to stay seated where it's inconvenient for them to get up constantly).

There's one other case where really fast competitors are pushed through because everyone is refusing to judge or compete until they watch someone finish their solves... Would people prefer that I force the judges to judge when this happens and competitors to solve? If the judge refused then they'd be disqualified from the competition (1e2) and if the competitor refused to solve then they'd get a DNS (9f5).

It's not definite. We're currently looking at High Point and the RMIT Cafeteria.

Is because it might be hot that the spiritual centre hasnt been considered?

[cubecraze1]

Has the date been confirmed?

Can we please make the finals done one by one? Because everyone wants to watch Feliks, so disqualifying judges and competitors seems ridiculous for this.
I usually choose the person who I'm judging, as priorities. My priorities are 2min+ solvers, so we can get them done before the end (or else they'd be the last ones competing) judges and scramblers.

Horrible song, very distracting, goes for 10 minutes every hour. (NOTE: Time slightly exaggerated)

The song started playing in the second solve right?

i personally prefer the setup at MelbSummer2012 w/ the couches behind the tables/timing area

Yea, just at RMIT cafeteria would be a fine fine choice.

wow ive been out of the loop for too long

Personally, I don't mind too much about the venue, as long as there is one. So I'm fine with an outdoor competition. Apart from that... I don't really have much else to add I suppose. Presumably we haven't confirmed a date yet.
