Melbourne Summer Open 2010

[Tim Major]

Sitting for redux, standing for 3x3 ftw!

Will you have enough time to stand up? You only have like a 10 second frame.

He can't! 4x4 3x3 stage in 10 seconds! This is madness.THIS IS SPARTA!

I just realised, remember at the last meetup discussing who would make the finals in 3x3? I just realised, that the last spot is taken by Richard.

Likely;
1. Duh
2. Matt
3. Mazei
4. Pappas? Or other people.
5. Other people or Pappas.
6. Other People or Pappas.
7. Other people or Pappas.
8. Richard.
Can someone with more knowledge fix this ^

Edit: I realise Dene fits in somewhere too.

Mazei isn't coming

Me, Matt, Dene, Nick, Ninja, Luke Bruce, 2 more places. iirc Jayden was low 20.

And no, I don't do 3x3 stage in 10 seconds on 4x4 wtf.

 

[Zane_C]

Well hopefully I don't go crap on the day, cause I had a 24.26 avg of 100 today.

 

[onionhoney]

I can judge for any events which I have finished competing in. I can also scramble etc.

I will compete in all events.

I'm working on a schedule and stuff.

i hope you can break the 3x3 avg WR!

 

[Dene]

No, those were the old regulations. The competitor starts the solve when they are ready, by themselves.

@Dene: I'm told that there are stacks of chairs and tables in the room.

Thanks, because I've been doing some solves where I close my eyes for a second or so before I start.

You have to start the timer within 15 seconds of the cover being lifted off the cube. If you want to give yourself a second or so to close your eyes before starting the solve then you better make sure you finish inspecting within 10 seconds.

 

[Zane_C]

My inspection is usually 5-10 seconds if that.

I dunno how I will go. I havn't been cubing that much lately.
At one point i averaged about 22-23 but now I'm anywhere in the 20's really.
It'll depend on how I do on the day. Hopefully not too bad.

Also what are the predictions for 2x2? Roughly.

 

[Zane_C]

You don't have to worry about me for 2x2x2, I'm pretty slow.

Two more places could be either TimMc, Jayden, Me, Zane anyone else? This will be interesting

 

[Zane_C]

I'll probably slow down by a few seconds though cause I never really cube infront of people.

 

[Zane_C]

There's not much action on this thread, how's everyones progress?

(yes double post, but no one would see it on the homepage if I edited)

 

[Faz]

^ Exactly.

Well, the forecast looks good, a mild 28, although I'm sure it will reach into the 30's on the day.

Tim and I will be sorting out runners, scramblers, judges, and groups tonight.

We may be getting some plastic top hats to cover the cubes

 

[Zane_C]

Sounds good. I suck at BLD, I'm only ganna compete in it because I can do it.

 

[TimMc]

We may be getting some plastic top hats to cover the cubes

lolol, it looks cool but I think it'd be much more efficient to use slightly larger scorecards on decent quality paper to act as a cover.

I'll go through a list with you later tonight to determine judges and scramblers.

Tim.

 

[Zane_C]

I think my main cube will be my type FII, if that fails, I will use my type A5. Last night I set 2 new person best with the A5:
Avg of 5: 20.593
Single: 14.619 (PLL skip)
Today I got a new best AO12 with the A5: 22.683

I very well might switch to the A5 instead of the FII, I'll see what happens.

 

[RainbowBoy]

Goin good.
25 seconds average. But still not fast as David, Tim, Zane,etc.
PopBuying order came today.
LanLan is awesome!!

 

[NanoCuber]

hey, i can't wait until the comp too

@Tim: Would I be able to enter events that I didn't choose when I registered on the website, But I changed my mind that I want to be in now?

also, would anyone be willing to sell me a V-7 at the comp? black or white (Preferably white though) thanksss.

Edit: Also I would also like to buy an F-II if anyone has one of them too.

Sure, just send me an email (check http://www.speedcubing.com.au) with the events that you'd like to be in.

Yes, I've a V-CUBE 7 (White) in mint condition if you'd like.

Thanks for your help Tim!
And yes, I'd love to buy the White V-7, how much would it be? And is it brand new?
