Melbourne Cube Day 2011

[David Zemdegs]

Perhaps we could remind everyone of the following two WCA regulations?

1e2) All competitors should be available for judging, if needed by organisation team. Penalty: disqualification of the competitor for the competition.

1f2) All competitors should be available for scrambling, if needed by organisation team. Penalty: disqualification of the competitor for the competition.

one day the melbourne comps will be organised properly and actually work.

And what problems do you have with our competitions? And may I ask what experience do you have from other competitions that makes you feel this way? Provide information or be quiet please.

I do believe that failure to invoke 1e2 and 1f2 on experienced competitors may be partly an issue...

Tim.

Last competetion wasn't bad with judges i think!
I didn't had the issue that there were no judge for me

Just realised that there are only cubic puzzles (counting a V-7 as a cubic puzzle).

I guess that's why it's called Melbourne Cube Day

Yeah

 

[Florian]

It's just a thought but couldn't it be possible that we get Top10 Podium?

We need a sum of 30.4 or lower.
Cuber#1 Average=11-x
Cuber#2 Average=11-z
Faz Average=8.4+x+z

x and z can be negative

 

[Mal]

Top 10 would be cool!

Can some tell me why there are never completions in Sydney.
I'm only 11 so I can't go to to Melbourne or Perth
This whole year there hasn't been a single Sydney competition

@nathan3089
Other people in Sydney can start a competition if they know how. Go to the "Speedcubing in Sydney" thread.

Just Wondering, would anyone want to do some juggling at MCD. I can do 4 ball fountain and some 3 balls tricks.

Also, Is there anyone going that are good at other manipulation sports eg; yoyoing, pen spinning, foot bagging, Card Manipulation etc

IMO, it would be quite cool for people to show some of their other talents besides cubing.

Quite a few people can do some basic pen spinning, and I can do some card tricks (havent practised in ages). Ninja is extremely good at card tricks and also does card flourishes? (dont know what to call it its like card juggling or something). Anyway I might not be going its 50/50.

I'll find it interesting seeing card flourishing. It's annoying living in a small town where I'm pretty much the only guy who do these things.

 

[nathan3089]

No one on the Speedcubing in sydney thread is talking about doing anything

 

[Tim Major]

I probably shouldn't be saying this because it may get your hopes up, and isn't confirmed but;
A comp is being organised sometime in March or May I think. They don't have a venue but they're scheduling it inbetween 2 Melbourne comps so there's no collision like there was with Perth.

Edit: Rob, race 2 ball in OH solving cube in other?
I can do 3 ball patterns and shower/fountain, 4 ball wimp pattern and the normal way but badly, and 5 ball flash. I only have 3 so I can't practice at home.

 

[chris w]

What Tim said^
We struggled about getting a venue for sometime earlier this year, so the comp fell apart. Hopefully this time everything goes well.
EDIT: more on topic i might be able to come, but like the whole week before i think im on schoolies and im fairly sure that wont positively affect my cubing..

 

[kirtpro]

what do you mean 'not talking about doing anything', theres been 2 meetups that've happened lol
