I've got a white Es 4x4 with standard stickers on it (not ES scheme) but it's not broken in at all, charlie's one is a lot nicer. I know breandan's got a meffferts 4x4 which he might let you use?

 

[Robert-Y]

Ok thanks guys, at the moment I think I'll just borrow one of Charlie's ESs unless Breandan lets me use his meffert's which might be better than my ES pieces + new core.

I feel lucky, the speedcubing community is by far the best community I've ever come across in my life I wish I could somehow help you guys for being so kind. (Maybe/probably by making a few tutorials on youtube in the future )

Any aims for this comp then?
Despite what I said to Simon the other day I've decided I do have aims now

2x2 - sub 4.5/NR
3x3 - aiming for finals, assuming that means sub 15/14, and a sub 12 single would be lovely.
4x4 - sub 1:15 (don't care much)
5x5 - sub 2:30 (again, don't care much)
OH - sub 27 (definitely possible if i do a few avgs of 12 a day)
Megaminx - qualify for an avg of 5 (really don't care much, am worse than I remember since I got my new one...)

(FMC - sub 40)

@ one of the organisation team: could you please take me off Pyraminx and add me to FMC? I would be very grateful

I don't own a legal pyraminx, and I'm embarrassingly bad at it. I'm ok at FMC, and I have such a free day I can afford to skip the lunch hour

I was also gonna enter bld, but I'm so unbelievably awful and inconsistent I don't think its worth the hoard of DNF's it'll bring me.

2x2 - sub 4.5/NR

I like my NR! But it *does* suck!

It's in danger (from Jude too, actually) What method do you use? Has it changed since 'edavies winter open 2008'?

done, although I already seemed to have you down for FMC. oh well. slightly less work to do on the spreadsheet.

aims? well,
I'd love a sub20 single for 3x3 also semi finals.
sub 3 minute average for 5x5 and sub 9 single for 7x7.
magic NR average and maybe a new NR single,

Nope, I havn't practised or learnt anything new for a long time now, and I don't intend to.

I do LBL, Ortega, Guimond (maybe? Not sure), SS (maybe? Sometimes), and FL+CLL on the odd ocassion Im doing LBL and happen to know it/do it.

Heh, nice I'm learning Guimond this week and practicing next as getting an FL isn't always that easy and I need a fast backup method... Should be fun competing anyway

[MTGjumper]

From goals thread:

2x2: Sub-6 average
3x3: Sub-14 (?) average, depending on nerves
4x4: Sub-65 average
5x5: Sub-120 average (might be pushing it)
Sq-1: Sub-23 average, and sub-20 single
OH: Sub-50? I don't really care too much...
Magic: Learn how to, and if good enough, compete!
FMC: Sub-40

 

[CharlieCooper]

goals: make the competition run smoothly....

that is all

also guys, we might have to increase the entrance fee. i'm sorry in advance but the venue was more expensive than we thought it was going to be, which was very much a last minute thing, and you are getting a t shirt, TWO days and prizes and food and jazz... so it's not that bad.. promise.

 

[wk]

Hmm, any info on the saturday night event?

Interested to join you guys. =D

 

[panyan]

i really wanted to come, but i am going to bahrain for two weeks and ill miss it... never mind

Don't worry too much Charlie -- I shall help all I can, as I'm sure quite a few others will.

 

[MichaelErskine]

But that would surely only happen if you chose it to happen!

 

[Edam]

Charlie, i'm pretty sure msemtd just said he wants to be the results spreadsheet slave for the entire weekend.

or he might have volunteered for 7x7 scrambling, I'm not sure yet

 

[CharlieCooper]

haha, no it's okay, kris offered to do the admin for the weekend. i mean, we might want to give him breaks and stuff, but i think he doesn't mind doing a bit of it, at least for one day.

saturday night is bowling, i'll book some lanes. chris, you have a car with you? adam? and arnaud? so that's enough room for a few of us to get to the bowling alley, which is like 4 mile drive or something, if not, bus is not hard

 

[panyan]

bus is not hard

BUS?! but you might damage our delicate, finely tuned cubing fingers

 

[coolmission]

Well, it looks like I wont be able to make it I am working 8:00 till 18:00 and I am not allowed to take a day off.
