I may be able to come on the weekend. 
An update on sponsorship. Apparently it isn't called sponsorship, as the main idea is that Telstra just gives $1800 (my Dad thinks it's this much) to an organisation a Telstra employee's family member is involved in. They do not want us to have banners saying "proudly sponsored by Telstra" everywhere, and do not want any recognition at all.
As I said, earlier in the thread, applications for money begin on December 2, and they usually will give out these payments. This money would be enough for Dene's ticket, AND, a $200 or so prizes (depending on airline tickets price at this stage). They do not care how the organisation spends the money, as long as the money benefits the Telstra employee's family member. (which it would)
The only catch is that it would have to be in a month after December, or near the very end, which would perhaps mix up with many family's Christmas celebrations.
Any thoughts?

So, to get the sponsorship, the event would need to be held in january?
If so, Matt can't do the 16th, so it would have to be the 23rd, which is good. More practice time xD.
1800 can pay for denes flights 500?, food for everyone 100-200?, and some cash prizes for main events. 1000?

That is if the "sponsorship" is accepted. We won't know this until late December. If January is a good time, have it then, but I can't guarantee this yet. These are all the facts my Dad remembers (when rego for sponsoring starts), however, he isn't sure of all these times. These are just the likely dates, and money. Unsure as of yet, so don't plan to have it in January, or plan around this money just yet. My Dad doesn't even know if it is December 2nd, though that is what he thinks. Don't plan Dene coming over thanks to this money, as the sponsorship request may not even be accepted. It probably will though. I'll talk to my Dad when he gets home, and get back with details, though my Dad is busy, and may not be able to find out information on this until next week. Fingers crossed though.

Obviously Feliks is looking for the possible large prize. Feliks will probably win unless someone else comes from Asia or America or else where.

Intead, with that $1000, we should have money for every event, 1st prize. Except with 3x3 also a second and third prize.

Rainbow Boy: Put all the caps for the edges/corners or both. Then put the core, springs and centres together with screw driver. Try to keep th tensions the same for each side. Place the pieces in while tightening the centres.

I did all of that long ago.
But When It comes to screwing in the screws and all that. I tighten it, put hte pieces in and it is VERY LOOSE. Then I tighten and tighten till it goes tightened to the max and it is still VEERRRRRYY LOOOSE
If anyone at the meetup can teach me Square-1 please let me know.
Don't reply to this Feliks because I ask you for help too many times and want to stop now

He will still win, even if someone from Asia or America comes over, unless it is someone like Erik or Tomasz...
BTW, shouldn't we save some of the money for later competitions in the year rather than spending it all in one go? I don't think Telstra will keep funding us with $1800 every competition we have.

He can beat Erik. Maybe not Tomasz. More so if Harris, Breandon, or Tomasz comes.

But they never fly overseas for small competitions.
@Matt: No, just make this the first one, and have it big, then the others can be small.

Matt, Telstra throw away billions of dollars each year towards these organisations (not exaggerating). I'm sure if we wanted we could have them every year. (you can only apply during the month the applications start though, so we could only really have one a year that was sponsored by them.)
Btw, there's a friend from footy who I directed to these forums, but he doesn't have internet. He averages 20, and was taught by me. He's been cubing for about a month less than me, and I've taught him f2l, and 2-look OLL and PLL. He is faster than me, even though he was taught by me. Plus he only knows 2-look. His cross and f2l are really fast. I might bring him to the meetup this weekend. (which I'll come to, but about 1:00)

Update: I will be at the meetup at around 12:45. My Type D and C4U core (I got that instead) have not arrived yet, so I have to use my Rubik's DIY.
Rubik's DIY? Can't wait to try. I've heard really good things about them. Unless you mean Rubik's storebought...
