[Faz]

[andatude]

COME JOHN!!!!

How do you like Sydney Feliks?

 

[Faz]

Well, I have been here over 15 times. The flight was so turbulent.

 

[Rawn]

Andatude, whereabouts in Sydney do you live?

 

[andatude]

yoyo, the names Andy.

I live in the Western suburbs area, around Cabramatta. You?

 

[Rawn]

I live around the Hills District.

 

[andatude]

Oh oks, nice to meet you. I'm heading to bedd nows, school tomorrow.
Hope to see you at the meet up!

 

[Faz]

Btw, Nick - do you have a stackmat? If you have 2 (old and new) then bring both, as we will need as many timers at possible for the competition.

I will take a list of which people are competing in which events. I will make a schedule soon.

 

[Faz]

Schedule. Note that this is allowing for alot of time, and the competition may start at 10:30 if all have arrived. Those who have replied here and are uncertain about coming, please reply telling me whether you can make it or not.

10am - 10:30am Arrival at the cinemas and gathering together. I will take down names of who is competing in which events in my notebook.

10:30 - 11am - Move to the food court, and just do some general cubing. Latecomers can make their way around westfield to the food court, where we will be cubing.

11am - 11:30 - 2x2 round. Average 3 of 5 - This may take less time

11:30 - 12:15 - 3x3 round 1, top 4 proceed to final - this may take less time

12:15 - 1:00 - Lunch and 6x6 round (Mean of 3) This may take less time, and we will adjust the schedule on the day to allow for that. Lunch can be bought whenever you want, so long as you are not competing

1:00 - 1:30 - 5x5 - 2 solves. Sub 2:30 single is required to complete the average of 5.

1:30 - 2:00 - 4x4 average of 5 - 2 solves - Sub 1:45 single to continue average of 5

2:00 - 2:15 - 3x3 final and announcements.

2:15 - 3:00 general cubing, racing etc.



IMPORTANT! : This schedule is very vague, and some events may take less time to complete, and that will speed things up. Hopefully the entire competition will be completed by 2pm if we can get started early enough.

During the competition you can just cube and talk, whatever you want. It's going to be great fun, and I hope to see most of you there!

Have fun

Tim.

 

[Rawn]

Yes I do have a stackmat, but I only have 1. Sorry for the late reply.

 

[solver]

Is it okay if a bring a friend?

 

[Faz]

More than okay!

Does anyone else have a stackmat? It looks like we may have only 2 stations for the competition, which is fine. Some people will have to judge.

With 4x4 and 5x5, we will make it so the top 4 get to continue the average of 5.

 

[Faz]

John/Chris/Thomas/Cuber1974 can you make it? Please reply ASAP

Updated schedule:

There will be 2 competing stations - Nick, bring your stackmat mat.

CRAP!!!

TRAINS ARE DOWN TOMORROW!!!

Me and my friends don't know how to get there now. There is a 20% chance my dad can take me but i dont know about my friends since i live quite far away from them.

 

[Rawn]

Sorry, I don't have the mat. I chose not to buy it.

 

[aznblur]

I got a major assignment due Monday, its worth 20%, so I don't exactly have time to spend 5 hours cubing, 2 hours travelling.

Sorry dudes.

Rawn - thats fine

So.

Solver plus 1
Rawn

Cuber1974?

Andy, I noticed that only 3 lines are down. Maybe your dad can take you and your friends to a station on another line, which isnt too far from you.

EDIT2: Dude, they have replacement bus lines. You may want to leave a fair bit earlier though. Once you get into the city, just catch the train from there.
