Competition in Australia

If anyone's interested in setting up something through either of these sources, I'd be very willing to help. I can introduce you to the people that put these events together, and I'd also be willing to help get the event running.

Is no one willing to take me up on this offer? That's a bit of a shame. I would have thought that with all the people wanting an Australian competition, somone would jump at an opportunity for a free venue, audience, publicity, and organisational help.

Oh well... the offer still stands.
 
For StackMats, maybe Speedstacks Australia could lend some, they are (based around the P.O. box) just south of Sydney. Postage would not be cheap for Electronics to anywhere in Australia. People are also looking for a sponsor, someone to pay for venue hire, it's good if you have a venue, bad if you can't afford it. Maybe Socrates might. They are back by Australian Geographic and they are "supposed" to sell "educational" toys
 
I somehow don't think Speedstacks Australia could lend some StackMat Timers...

S?crates and Australian Geographic kinda seem like franchises where no one store would benefit from helping out. I.e. It might increase some puzzle sales but not particularly at their stores.... x.x

Why not? Speedstacks lent some timers to me for the first MN Open. I just had to pay shipping. Besides, it's an opportunity for them to sell the timers to individuals.
 
Hey guys, im based in australia and i was thinking about organising a comp.

How is the organisation for the competition going or is it not going ahead.
\
I would be happy to organise one but it would be in melbourne.
 
hmm that wouldnt be too bad, i mean i could probably get there. well, joshua li and leviticus were thinking about organising one in sydney but that wouldnt happen till atleast next year and its just an idea.
 
i think i can be a delegate if there is to be a comp in aus...but thats anytime after feburary when i come back to australia for good

I'm really sorry for bumping an old thread, but planning is going well for a competition in either melbourne or sydney.

Leviticus and I have decided it would have to be December- Feburary next year.

I have asked speedstacks.com Australia if they can lend some equipment.

All we need to do is:

Find a delegate: JOSHUA!!!! Can you get on here more regularly. We need to discuss the tournament.

Get approval from the WCA: Easy enough.

Find a venue: Not too hard, i would say Monash University, they have a massive room.

Get sponsors and equipment: Equipment can be lended or bought from speedstacks australia and sponsors can be local shops

Find a date: December to february next year.



Responding to ccchips about him being too young, well guess what!

Im only 12. :eek:

EDIT: Arnaud!!! Can you make it?

It will need to be in February, im not sure about the city, either Melbourne or Sydney. I don't live on the east coast so i dont know exactly where it could be held, but that uni sounds good.

ok, sorry guys, been busy and forgot to check back here.
Well firstly, my names Joshua Brungar, im not very fast, 3x3: 43.58, 45.67 avg, havent timed 4x4, 5x5 or minx.
Basicly my cross plus f2l sucks bad (aprox 30secs) so am working on that now, know all pll and 2 look oll + a few more.
I know 5 cubers up here, ones faster than me (pb 22.??, bout 30 avg) others around 1min mark.
At this stage we have a possible venue at University of Waikato,as that is where I and the cubers I know are studying, but of course, this could be changed.
We have not got a delegate yet as we have not set when the comp is. Ron has said to ask delegates if any are willing to travel to nz, or maybe one going on holiday to nz. He also said if jasmine lee is willing to come, they could make her delegate.
Basicly, to have a official comp we need to have at least 12 people there, and find a delegate. If we cant it will have to unofficial.
The date will come down to when all the cubers are free and can be there. Events will also come down to what cubers can/want to do, as with a small
amount of participants, there will be plenty of time to run more different events.
We are looking for sponsors for it to help fund equipment, venue and prizes etc.

Well it appears that this is going to happen at the University of Waikato, so if anyone can get there invite your friends! This is going to be great! (hopefully). And Mr. van Galen, I haven't forgotten my promise to you. But, have you forgotten yours?

I'm going to assume you overlooked this Mr. van Galen.

Yes, I can (and will) make it unless it is at the same time as Twents Open. Maybe I should talk to the WCA about becoming a delegate. I think I would qualify
Click to expand...

Arnaud, can you become a delegate?

I will email Ron and ask him.

I pretty much have the date confirmed, but i need to check with other cubers.
i think a good date will be feb 7th or feb 14th

EDIT: IMPORTANT! IT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE IN MELBOURNE.

Yes, I overlooked this. I will bring a camera so Shelley (and the rest of us) can see. Thanks for reminding me :)

But I don't understand what promise you mean by "yours".
