Events for Melbourne Summer Open 2011?

[Dene]

At MCD
FMC
Multi
6x6
7x7

At Aus Nats.
Multi
6x6
7x7

Multi, 6x6 and 7x7 have had their turn
Anyway, BLD and FMC had the same amount of people as 6x6 and 7x7. Just sayin. (ie: your point has no real validity)

My point is that 6x6 and 7x7 are just as popular as the events you want. Popularity should play an important role in the choosing of events. Anyway, these can be run at the same time as FMC and basically you pick one or the other and you have to miss out on something. According to MCD results, this will only be a problem for Jeremy Lu (who only had one attempt at 6x6 anyway but perhaps he would like more) and of course wee Feliks whom might like to finish FMC in 30 minutes and then squeeze in for 6 and 7 as he is very fast at those events.

Back to my popularity point, Berkeley comps choose events based on a "catering to our own" principle according to jfly. That is, they choose events, and choose which events will have more rounds based on the favourite events of the people who help out at the competition (i.e. the Berkeley crew). Thus they have more rounds of Pyraminx and Square-1 than you would generally expect to see. Now you might disagree with this principle, but if we were to apply it then it would be reasonable to fit in FMC for you, and 6 and 7 for me and Feliks (if he wants them), seeing as we are among the greatest contributors to the running of the competitions.

Anyway, with a two day competition there is no reason not to fit in all of these events, even bigcubesbld which I think we should only do if aron guarantees his presence at the competition.

Melbourne Summer Open 2011 has been announced.
So go on... register

 

[Inf3rn0]

So ill be there but perhaps only for the first day =/

 

[Dene]

Dude none of that.

 

[KboyForeverB]

I found out that I got tennis training at school until noon and won't get to comp until later.... DAMN!!! I will probably miss first round of like 2x2 3x3 or important events as such, which means I won't compete at all in them. Hopefully I can do as many events as I can though. Uhhh, I hate compulsory sport at school

 

[Dene]

Pull a sicky.

 

[aronpm]

Compulsory sport. On a Saturday. Right.

Don't go? What are they gonna do, suspend you for not going to an after-hours event?

 

[KboyForeverB]

Pull a sicky.

that might work, I guess the school can't force a sick person to do sport.... It's the tennis trials for which group I get put into, if I pull a sicky my mum won't let me out of the house, but I'll try....

Also it's technically the first say of school but all you do is Listen to a lecture about sport facilities in middle school and play tennis for like 2hours

 

[Zane_C]

Yes, what Dene says. Cubing > tennis.

 

[RCTACameron]

You could say you have an arm injury that allows you to move your hands for cubing, but not your shoulder for tennis.

if I pull a sicky my mum won't let me out of the house

So your mum won't just let you pretend to be sick for tennis and go to the comp?

Would it be possible to make some off the cuttoffs longer, like 2:40 for 4x4 and 4 mins for megaminx

Thanks

No.

 

[Dene]

You have over a month to get faster at the events. If you do not practise that is your own problem.

 

[hic0057]

Would anyone want to sell cubesmiths stickers at the comp that I could buy?

 

[TimMc]

I've a bunch of cubesmith stickers...

 

[hic0057]

How much would it cost for a set for 3x3?

I've only got the half bright 3x3 sets for AU$2 per set (originally US$1.85).
