What are the time limits?

[PAPPAS!!15]

At the moment i don't think I'll go, because I am having another break from cubing. But, by late feb I will probably be cubing again.

2x2 30sec
4x4 1min30 cut off
5x5 2min30
oh 45sec
pyr 30sec
mgc, mmgc 5min total for all solves combined

I'll look at setting up Paypal for online registration tonight and approve registration when payment ($10) is confirmed. A refund of $5 will be given if you compete. A full refund will be given if you drop out and inform me by the end of registration on the day. This is to deter people from dropping out without saying (9 last time) and to allow a better schedule to be planned with roles assigned to those willing to help. The change of rego from 10 to 5 to 2 to 5 is to enable us to get better prizes to award at AN2012 and break even on MS2012.

I've 8 Zhan Chi to award but left it as TBA in case we get sponsorship.

Might be there, depends on work.

[Tim Major]

Tim, you should leave an option to pay in person, for people who can't use paypal for whatever reason.
Also, roles should be assigned pre-competition like WC2011/MS2010. This allows people who work their butt off to have a rest from duties without feeling bad.
And it also forces others to help out.

Competitors, when not competing, must make themselves available for judging.
Competitors, when not competing, must make themselves available for scrambling if they know how.
Dads, when not filming, must make themselves available for judging. (or writing up score sheets for finals?)

[SoLarisAU]

Sounds good Faz.

I'll work on making a schedule when i got some spear time and i'll keep posting it so people are up to date with it.

[Tim Major]

I disagree with the Dad's part. They should have no such rule. They aren't competing, they aren't taking up competition time, why force them to judge.
You can disqualify a competitor.

I'm with Tim. They aren't taking up competition time so they shouldn't be forced to judge.
EDIT: also, if all competitors help out a little, there will be no need to parents to judge etc.
