Competition in Australia

If you search the WCA database, there are actually 4 competitors from Australia. I know Jasmine and Peter live in the USA now, but what about the other two? Could either of them be made delegates? Joshua Li apparently competed in China, and competed in a bunch of events (with good results!) - he might not be a bad choice. I don't know either of them, but I was just hoping there might be an option there to help you get a delegate. Someone from the WCA might be willing to make either Joshua Li or Jessica Ellison a delegate, if they are interested - then you might not need to go overseas (if either of them actually live in Australia currently).

It looks like Joshua Li might be a member on here: http://www.speedsolving.com/member.php?u=620
 
hmm all of this talk of competitions in australia is great but as bryan and others said, it takes quite a lot of work to organise and you have to pay a fair bit of money for it. for me, a competition in australia would be a dream BUT for me, i dont really want to personally chase after it. its not one of those things i really want more than anything else and the $50 for example being spent on the organising i would much rather spend on cubes themselves. im only 14 so yeah, i couldnt really imagine organising and the truth is, if the competition was anywhere outside of Sydney, i probably wouldnt go.

So Out of Sydney = Too far from the dark corner to hide from Yu Nakijima?

:D:D:D:D


oh dont worry, i have several holes/dark corners stationed around the area :D

And I think Joshua Li might be in Hong Kong look here/URL]

Which Leaves Jessica Ellison.

My teacher always jokes, "Where there's light, there's hope, keep breathing" and I think I will keep hoping for a comp.
 
REALLY!!!! No way! Details, details!!! Will it be over the Christmas holidays? Oh please more details! Who will be the official delegate? Who are you? What's your average? Do you know other NZ cubers that are fast? Where will the competition be?

EDIT: Please answer all the questions :)
 
what!!!!!!!! no way!!!!!!! omg thats so incredibly depressing. theres a competition pretty much in australia and i cant go cause its in new zealand :p... hey, ever consider holding the competition in sydney instead *wink* *wink*
 
Oh also, could you please add me to msn (if you use it)? I'm very happy to help out with the competition where possible. I have a stackmat timer also (if you need more) and can help with scrambling/judging and other things.

What events do you plan on holding? I assume 3x3x3. Are you doing One-Handed solving? Blindfolded? 4x4x4? 5x5x5? 2x2x2?
 
If I'm Lucky, maybe my parents would take me is there going to be magic?? The AuR for Magic is 2.78 with 3.00 average. I dream every night that I had the AuR for magic.
 
lol keep dreaming :p jk jk... but u never know, there are probably lots of other people dying to find a comp to break some AuR :p i for one do. i mean, theres the 3x3 record which is like 18 sec average which im sure i can beat (and the current holder can aswell) and others like 4x4 and bld (which hasnt actually been set) and others. if its in NZ though theres no way i can go :(

awww, come on, don't divert attention away from it, homes are so damn expensive I really need a dark corner you know :D

@Leviticus, look him up on The Sunday Contest 7 places above Mr.Garron

if your asking me, I suck at about everything except magic. If my best time for arnaud's comp this week was official, I would be Number 50 in the world. If my best time that I remember I have gotten was official, I would be level with Mr.Pochmann
 
lol thats very nice of you 36duong, showing my rank compared to mr garrons :p... but seriously, i think he is overall a much better cuber than me ;)...

for leviticus. u may find this strange but i only have 2 cubes - a 3x3 and a 4x4.

3x3 single - 10.02
3x3 average - 13.86 (for sunday contest 16/3/08)

4x4 single - 1:04.87
4x4 average - 1:18.34

EDIT: oh yeah, leviticus, you can also look at me during this forums weekly competitions which i do now most of the time. :)
