Australian Nationals 2014 in Sydney!

Also I want to point out that technically there are no designated lunch breaks. Basically you have to go and get lunch when you get a moment (or bring something with you). I deliberately scheduled less popular events during the lunch period so most people won't be affected. I was forced to do this because of limited time.

i'm also doing FMC but not really seriously, just want to get a result for it so my attempt will only be like 5-10minutes. Could i also do bld attempts?

No one will be doing bld during FMC. We are essentially giving you an hour and 15 minutes to get your bld attempts done. If this isn't enough time you're too slow, and wasting too much time. We have very limited time to work with, and many other more popular events to get through. If 75 minutes isn't enough for you, work out your priorities and just do that.

EDIT: I sound blunt but I mean this in the kindest way possible :p

Oh so we can do our big BLD during 3BLD sick! Make so much more sense now! Thanks dene for clearin that up! That mean ill have enough time to do a 5BLD, 2 4BLD's and all my 3BLD now :)
 
I would like to warn everyone now:

If your clock pins move with gravity alone (and maybe a bit of a shake) we will not accept it. Your puzzle needs to be functioning as required by the regulations, and clock pins should not move when transporting the puzzle from the scramble table to the solving station.
 
Just arrived at Sydney after Tiger airlines ****** me and Josh in the ****
$240 and 3 hours later...

All Melbournites make sure to use Melbourne slang such as "grouse" to differentiate yourselves from inbred Sydneylivers, or is that Tasmania? Wait, neither are Melbourne so both

I was hoping to attend but unfortunately can't make it due to family commitments. Good luck to all competitors and I look forward to seeing lots of pics and vids.
