We will manage a waiting list when 100 register.

Please only register if you're sure that you will come so that 15 competitors don't miss out :)

Happy cubing,
Tim.

If you can find and organise a nice venue, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to come.

If you need a venue, that should be easy. We have a Rubik's cube club starting this term and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to convince one of the teachers to use the lecture hall at school on one Saturday

I have Pm'd you :).

There will be more Perth comps do not worry about that! If everything goes to plan and interest persists we will hopefully have 2 comps a year but time will tell.

It'd be awesome if the venue is free and similar to UWA's (costs about $500 I think...) :p

Seeing as this thread has already been derailed...

I'll ask when I get back to school. Anyway, the only pictures I could find are these https://www.facebook.com/mikenahan/posts/971783139546620

Huh, as I compare it to the Alexander Lecture Theatre now, it is quite a bit less wide though...

It might be usable, but only if you were expecting 20 or less competitors. Otherwise it would be too small IMO.

Yeah... I thought it was bigger than that. It should be able to fit a class so maybe 30+ if you sit next to each other closely, but not the best then

No skewb. The idea of Melbourne Cube Day(s) is to only have the cubic puzzle events, so no skewb, pyra, etc.

A better answer would be "there will be no Skewb because there'll be 100 competitors, a limited time in scheduling, and the most recent competition had 2 rounds of Skewb so we're trying to give other events priority". Skewb is​ a "cubic puzzle event"
