Hi, my name is Brian. I'm going to trail off speaking about random off-topic thoughts, and assume people will know what I'm talking about without quoting.

That is true, but a bit harsh with the sarcasm.

LOL
I was practising only 2x2 and 3x3 cause they're awesome then i did a 4x4 solve. WTF2L!!!
Why am I so bad
Hmm, I know Full CLL! But know one would care

I actually care. How fast are you at 2x2 on avg?

sorry about that, i know I'm not very good with forums. I still hav a lot to learn. (Slaps himself in the face)
Oh yeah and also i average like 4 to 5.5 seconds

 

[hatep]

I have a question about the comp.
What do the cut-off times actually signify? Would you actually get cut off during a 4x4 solve if it went over 1m 45s or am I thinking overboard.

 

[Zane_C]

Well, you probably wouldn't literally get cut-off from that solve, unless it was really slow. But how we did it last time was if you exceed the cut-off twice; your attempts are over.

There goes my chance at 3rd (maybe not, but I didn't like my chances anyway) The fight for 3rd in 2x2 should be close, with 4 or 5 people from 4-6 afaik

Just posting to say the Website has been updated with prizes (recently). Also, 33 competitors with one waiting approval. Hopefully we can get 40+, less than 2 weeks until Nationals now

The schedule part of speedcubing.com.au has a typo. It has 9:00am, 9:30am, then 9:10am.
It's not like it bugs me or anything, I'm just pointing it out.

lolol fazs fault

I want to join the fight!

I am faster than Brian, I think. Hopefully, I should be able to average sub-5 at the comp.

I already know someone who is probably going to compete, but hasn't registered yet. I am surprised that RMIT Rubik's Cube Club has over 40 members, but only 33 people have registered. Everyone needs to try to get more people to compete.

Btw, Yusuke is leaving for Japan on Thursday. He was in my class at school, and I taught him how to cube. And, he has told me that his name is pronounced "You-skay".

 

[Faz]

No it wasn't my fault >_>

But it doesn't really matter anyway.

38 Registered, 4 days left. It seems we may make it to 40!

Also, I won't be at the friday night meetup, and if I do show up, it'll be at about 6pm.

 

[joey]

Me and Forte *should* be there, but we won't register beforehand, just in case I run out of gas.

I'm be there.
Hehe, my Dad registered ^.^
He's about 1:30 on 2x2 now, and improving xD
Hopefully he'll be sub 1 by Aus Nats.
Anyway, even if it is 6pm, still come (I think I'll be leaving like 7:00, it depends when my Dad finishes work.)

Edit: Joey, Forte said he's riding his bike here, so now problems with running out of gas

 

[pappas]

I might not be able to go to the comp at all because Sunday is fathers day and Saturday I have rowing selection. More chance of going on Sunday than Saturday.

 

[Faz]

Ya, :s that sucks man. But if you come along on sunday, we'll probably be able to arrange for you to enter the first rounds of 2x2 and 3x3 in the morning I guess. Idk about other events.

EDIT: What time does your rowing finish? We can probably fit you in on sat afternoon if you wanted to enter some other stuff?

It's not definite but he said most likely last or second last week of term for rowing. It'll finish early (around 10). Also my dad has pretty much said I can go to the comp on Sunday.
I do too much on weekends.

 

[Faz]

Well there's

This weekend -> week 7 -> comp -> week 8 -> week 9

Just hope it's not next weekend

It said 37 when I checked...

I think there will be > 40 competitors. There are 2 pending approval, so that makes 39. Also, I think a lot of people will register at the last minute.

I really want to come to a meetup sometime... but I just organised another thing for Friday night... just like I did last week.

 

[JHcubing]

We now have 39 Registered competitiors with 1 Registration Pending Approval.

We Have Made It To 40 Competitors!!

This is great

 

[JHcubing]

It is officialy 40 Registered Competitors!

This is going to be Massive.
