Bristol Open 2009

I think Rode (see what I did there huh?) are coming Friday night, and Olivér and Bence also. Arnaud and Lars will arrive around midnight and I think Pat is coming Friday also.. and probably Michael... ohhhhh goodness! I imagine Joey will make an appearance too.

I should be there before midnight - I'm dropping the girls off at my parents' place in Warwick before their bedtime then facing the M5 alone with only thrash metal for company. I have a crazy satnav that should be able to find your house!
 
Is it too late to the Pyraminx party on the Saturday afternoon please? I've sourced a Pyraminx and have been swotting up on a few methods. I might even get an average the way I'm going lol!

By that, I hope you mean MY METHOD :p

Yes that's fine, no probs, I'll add you. In future though (this goes for everyone) please e-mail the registration team aka me with such details because it's easier for me to keep track of everything :)

I think its Yohei Oka's I get on best with lol. Of course yours. Why would I try another?

Sorry. Do you still want me too?

Also, is Helen still making the cake?

EDIT - I was joking about the method. Its what the first few comments on youtube come up as.

I know, it makes me rage. I'll Facebook Helen, still unsure about the finances atm. I'll let her know tomorrow, is that okay? Sorry, I'm being lazy!

I really didn't mean to make you Hulk on me. Sorry :o

I shall let her know. I'll let you off on the laziness front. You are only organising this weekend.
 
So the site has been updated with a new schedule and competitors.

You will notice that the schedule is probably the craziest thing you have ever seen and is very tight. We should be fine because there aren't many competitors but PLEAAAAAAASE help as much as possible with scrambling/judging because that's the only way you'll get to do as many solves as the schedule suggests.

It's pretty much a final schedule now, so unless there are major issues you'll need to deal with it. An example of such a major issue is Robby Yau not being able to make 5x5 or Rowan being unavailable for 3x3 (I meant 2x2, but we'll keep 3x3 to make Rowan feel good) or Joey being unavailable for BLD.

PS. If you are staying at mine and still didn't tell me when you are arriving/going/whatever please tell me soon. Also, I should warn you that on Friday night everyone is having a score sheet party because I haven't done them yet :p

I can be scrambling for all events (of course not for my rounds :) not that it would help me much though :o ) - I don't mind 7x7x7 and 6x6x6 scrambling, I'm fine with Clock, slow but sure at Sq-1 scrambling. Same goes for spreadsheet monkey duties - I don't mind at all! Expect me to be at the scrambling desk or computer all day unless judging or competing. I am your humble admin staff :D
 
Michael - you are a legend! Thanks

Simon - we'll send someone to get you

The venue is now providing awesome chairs which frees up considerable budget for snacks, your suggestions are now welcome. Michael, you don't need to tell me that you'd like smoky bacon.
 
If there's more than one square-1 group, I'll scramble for the other :) I don't dare scramble > 4x4 because my accuracy is pretty poor and it takes too long to solve.

Edit: no sun-dried tomatoes please ;)

Yes sorry everyone, we were going to have an Italian themed menu with lashings of fresh produce, but Simon here isn't so fond of the sun-dried tomatoes so we'll have to stick to crisps, chocolate and fruit :p
