Another Aussie comp. Maybe in a couple of years there might be a Tasmanian comp.
Good job TimMc for planning to run another comp. Speed cubing in Australia wouldn't be the same without your contributes.

It'd be great to see one down at UTAS. We could hold a WCA competition at Benalla too if there's enough competitors in the area that want to compete.

We just need competitors to come along. With decent sponsorship (to cover the cost of the venue, prizes and printing) it's possible to have free entry too.

Bit off topic but why would you hold a competition in Benalla?

I *really* do not want QLD to be the last state to have a comp.

The problem is, everyone in my area is SO resistant to the concept of cubing. >.<

For QLD to be last it would require South Australia to have a comp and I kinda doubt that will happen.

And if you changed that to 'state/territory' you've still got Northern Territory. I've never even heard of any NT cubers.

And if you specify 'WCA competition' as well as 'state/territory' you'll still have ACT.

Nah, I don't think aronpm is going. (Neither am I btw)

Because they did the "World Record" of most people solving a cube at the same time.

 

[Tim Major]

I hope to come, my Mum wants to visit a friend
She won't let me come on my own

Yeah, I was totally going to get 2x2-5x5 WR sweep but I can't go.

what are the prizes in competition (usually)?

Certificates and stickers for our comps.

 

[RCTACameron]

You'd probably get a certificate, possibly a set of stickers, and maybe a Rubik's trophy. Competitions aren't really about the prizes though, they're more about meeting other cubers and having fun competing.

Edit: Ninja'd.

 

[TimMc]

Prizes will be V-CUBE products 5*5 to n*n and of course certificates.

Tim.
