Melbourne Spring Open 2009 (Unofficial)

[TimMc]

I've run out of score sheets. I've created enough for the events/competitors listed and have about 20-30 blank sheets if people want to compete it more events etc.

I've 3 stopwatches and a couple of pens.

It's pretty much scheduled and ready to go. We just can't have too much messing around, or some events/competitors may need to be cut - given the time constraints (i.e. keeping the competitor area completely clear as apposed to people randomly practicing)...

Tim.

Im off to the staton soon, see ya's all there!

 

[Tim Major]

new plans, ill try to get there by 10:45, except my mum always holds me up for everything, so expect me at 11

 

[Tim Major]

btw everyone, at the comp ill tell you all how to avoid edge parity on 5x5 using redux, which was thought to be impossible. its really easy and fast, and will hopefully get feliks sub 1:10 in december, so he can get the wr as an aussy

 

[Faz]

That won't happen.

Really fun!!

I did well in 3x3 - 11.49 avg, and surprisingly well in 5x5 even though I haven't practiced it for a month.

It was run fairly smoothly - OH was done in about 10 mins, which shows we can run things well if we put our minds to it.

Overall, there were 13 or 14 people, which was a great turnout.

Thanks guys!

[Kiongku]

Yep yep good time

 

[Tim Major]

thanks feliks and tim for organising and running it. cricket season's starting, and is it possible to have sunday tournaments in future? this should work for others too, because others will hav sport on saturadays as well

 

[Kiongku]

<-- church on Sundays, i'll be free "generally" only around 2 pm

 

[boredommm23]

I'm taken basically all Saturdays so Sundays would definitely be better for me, unless it's in the holidays, meaning no basketball. Then either is good.

You do realise that the venue was a church?:fp I think that it might be a tiny bit busy on that day, just a hunch.

That won't happen.

that doesnt neccesarily need to be the venue. we could probably get williamstown town hall, and its free to rent, with heaps of space and many rooms. (we wouldnt be that scummy though, we would give them money

edit: only this is my stuff "that doesnt neccesarily need to be the venue. we could probably get williamstown town hall, and its free to rent, with heaps of space and many rooms. (we wouldnt be that scummy though, we would give them money"

Haha oh well.. Church and God comes before everything for me
So if its on Sundays, just hope the 3x3 will be after 2 pm XD

 

[Faz]

Erm no. I don't think Sunday competitions are feasable at the current location. Also, the atmosphere and conditions are very nice at the current location, and we know it very well. I think it would be easier to keep all the competitions there.

The next competition will be official, and have a big venue, which will hopefully be sorted out by the event sponsor, which Tim is currently organising.

We will continue to have meetups on either day though.
