I can only go if it's 17th-18th.

I suppose it would be fair to call it the "Melbourne Open 2009" as you'd expect there to be Opens in capital cities before an Australian/Australasia Nationals 
Word of mouth is the best way (and general advertisement offline). Not many cubers in Australia come across these websites so it stands to reason that anything online should just serve to provide more information about the competition and pre-registration.

well, i think we should definitely have at least 12 people, so that makes it able to be official.

I might go but I gotta ask my dad and get a flight and make sure my sister is in Melbourne. I'll do my best to attend.

The proposed location is Melbourne Central, Level 1 near the Shot Tower. I.e. Below the Seiko Watch where there's a bunch of circular seats.
I'm a bit injured at the moment, I'm working on a promo video and will be talking more with GPT.

Quick question: What time would it be held?

Why is the comp held over two days? It seems possible to just do all the events on saturday.

Yeah, if we expect 11 or 12 people to turn up... But ideally we'd want 20 or so x.x
Keep in mind that 4x4 and 5x5 take ages to scramble ;-P

Even with 20 people, one day should be more than enough time, shouldn't it?

Hmm, it took us 4 hours with 7 people and 7 events.... I don't want to underestimate the amount of time >.<
Although one day would make it more financially viable

It could have been alot faster though. Is Avg confirmed? Btw, Levi said that he might not make it. Oh and another thing, will we have events such as master magic, square 1 etc, if only 2 or 3 people are interested?
