Bristol Spring 2010

why don't you start organizing your own competition?

well maybe i would if i had somewhere to hold it, knew how to, had enough money, if anyone would bother turning up (doubt it), and if anyone would help me organise it (also doubt it)

Looks like Charlie has something that you don't. What do you think why is that?

Ask yourself: Why wouldn't anyone help you? Think about it. Please.
 
My dad didnt like masters because he said "it just seems to be a competition for the few people who organise it and that no one else is really involved at all". Completely agree.
I guess this picture is the organisational team then?

Oh wait no.. that's most people. I guess the smiles meant they didn't enjoy it.

In this photo you can see the organisational team, husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, fathers, children and most importantly a whole load of smiles. That is the real meaning of a good competition and surprisingly, not what your father calculates with his special organisational team+time/snacks(scrambles)-rush/no fun formula.

kirjava: youre just retarded

Please, there is no need to reduce your language to that level. That is extremely offensive.

Well, I only say the organisation wasnt that good, because it seemed pretty rushed and everything just seemed to go as fast as possible.

So, if a competition runs smooth, that means it's bad? Ohh, there is so much to learn!

First of all, most of the organizers were volunteers, helping Charlie. If by involved you meant in the organization, you could just go to Charlie and ask: Can i help you? If you mean competing then the fact you said is just simply not true.

Secondly, why don't you start organizing your own competition? It's pretty easy, I guess all the cubers from here would gladly compete there and there would be no fee, I guess...

Olivér makes a good point Ben. Please do not criticise something that you haven't even tried doing. I look forward to a competition organised by you, with loads of breaks, only you organising (and not competing, as suggested by your father) and no fee.

So you admit there are problems that one can encounter when organising a competition?

1. Venue, yes, where do you hold a competition? Oh, I know, I'll hire somewhere. Okay, that means cost.
2. How? If you involved yourself with competitions more you would know. I learn from experiences I've had in other places and of course ask those valuable friends I've made for their suggestions and help. This isn't a problem if you have no mortal enemies in the cubing world.
3. Had enough money, oh yes, that old problem again.
4. Why wouldn't people turn up Ben?
5. Why wouldn't people help organise Ben?

Find a venue, there are hundreds of possibilities. Read the pages on the WCA site as well as this and you'll more than know how. Hell, having been to one should let you know everything you need to. Money shouldn't be an issue, what expenses are there? If you do it right there could be none. People would turn up if it were free and awesomely organized as you envision it. If you asked somebody to help out and were polite, courteous, and considerate with them, I'm sure somebody would be willing to help out. All of these problems are issues YOU can fix, stop complaining about them.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU HAVE YOU SEEN SOME OF THE STUIPD THINGS THIS GUY IS SAYING?!?!

IMO WE SHOULD GET TEH FBI TO GET THE WCA TO SHOW EVERYONE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CHEAT BY PRACITSING THE SCRAMBLES BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW ANYONE IN WCA IS UNTRUSTYWORTHY UNLIKE SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

WTF? WHY WOUL THE FBI EVEN CARE? THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE DUMBEST THINGS IVE EVER READ.

YOU SHOULD JUST NOT GO AT ALL BECAUSE THE COMPETITION IS SO BAD. WHY WASTE MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT YOU WONT ENJOY. YOUR MUM IS RIGHT THAT METOD OF TRANSPORT IS TOTALLY IMPRACTICAL I HEAR THAT MOST OF THE TIME THAT IT DOESNT EVEN WORK.

HOW THE HELL IS A TRAIN IMPRACTICAL?!?!?! DUHHH

IN MY OPINION THE ORIGINASATION STAFF SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ALL THE COSTS FOR EVERYTHING AND FRONT THE BILL FOR IT INSTEAD OF SPREADING TEH COSTS.

THIS IS JUST RETNDED.

TOTALLY AGREE, AS MUCH TIME SHOULD BE SPENT AS POSSIBLE ON EVENTS. RUNNING OUT OF TIME ISNT AN ISSUE BECAUSE WE CAN JUST CANCEL EVENTS. NOBODY WANTS TO RUSH, AFTER ALL WE'RE NOT A GROUP KNOWN FOR OUR SPEED LOL.

WAIT WHAT I THOUGHT WE LIKED TO BE ON TIME BEING ON TIME IS A GOOD THING RITE? HURR IDIOT. ALSO CANCELLING EVENTS IS STOOPID

I ASKED IF I COULD JUDGE AT ONE POINT AND GOT PUNCHED IN THE FACE!!!!

UHH PRETTY SURE THIS DIDNT HAPPEN DUDE

YES AND THEY SHOULDNT SAY THEIR OPINIONS OF YOUR OPINION BECAUSE THAT ISNT FAIR TO YOU BECAUSE YOU MADE THE FIRST OPINION>

THIS DOESNT EVEN MAKE SENSE

WE ARE WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY.

YOU DONT DESERVE AN APOLOGY, MORON!!!!
