Sydney Autumn 2012

[RCTACameron]

I might be able to go. I didn't vote though because I still really don't know. I agree that it shouldn't be held on Easter weekend. I usually go to my grandparents' house for Easter, and I'm sure other people do similar things, so being on Easter weekend could lead to less competitors. Weekends around that would be fine though.

You also don't seem to have understood the point of the exercise. If there would be less competitors, we wouldn't hold it on Easter. That's the point of the poll. How is this not clear?? Why are people getting confused??

 

[kirtpro]

i know 3 kids who are interested
Ben, Ryan, Harley

 

[Dene]

For which date? Could more Sydney cubers please rally here and vote. We need feedback, or you won't have a competition.

 

[slimjamin]

i'm interested, and i'll come. only reason i can't make melbourne this weekend is $$

i have some friends that might come too.

 

[Moops]

I'm sending a bunch of private messages on this thread to everyone listed as living in Sydney on the forums. Everyone who I havn't noticed posting and whatnot here anyway.

[povatix]

[Dene]

Hell yeah. Any date. Whatever I've got on, it's now cancelled.

Please go and vote for every option then, cheers.

 

[Tim Major]

Perth seems to be off, so my money could go towards this.
I won't vote, but think of me as a reasonable chance.

 

[aronpm]

Please go and vote for every option then, cheers.

That does nothing

 

[Cube Equation]

I'm actually a Sydney cuber. But I don't know if I could come or not. It might depend on where it will be.

 

[Dene]

That does nothing

Yes it does. It gives us a more accurate idea of who intends to come. I'm not going to go through all the forum posts and find out, I'm just going to check the poll.

im good for anytime during the holidays

List of prospective competitors from NSW

Here's a list of prospective competitors from NSW that I've seen mentioned:

1. Kirt Protacio
2. Chris Wilkinson
3. Joseph Stallard + 10?
4. Jonathan
5. Ida
6. Franky
7. Alex
8. Ben
9. Ryan
10. Harley
11. *slimjamin*
12. *Moops*
13. *toastman*
14. *povatix*
15. *thatkid*

The interest looks good
If the above people are all definitely willing to participate around Easter in or around the Sydney CBD then it definitely looks like we should go ahead and organise a competition.

Organisational Team
We'd need some kind of organisational team, so now would be a good time for experienced competitors to step forward.

The organisational team would help with:

• Determining a schedule
• Finding sponsorship for prizes
• Helping new competitors
• Judging
• Running
• Scrambling

Of course, you don't have to devote all your time during the competition toward organising it. Perhaps only 25% to 50% of your time could be spent helping out while the rest of the time you're competing or just relaxing.

A few dedicated helpers that devote 75% to 100% of their time would be great as it means there's less shuffling of competitors/helpers before each event. Like MSO2010.

Tim.

TimMc: I'll contact Bryson on FB, he was at the comp yesterday, and he lives in Sydney. Also there's a few others (ie: Jordan Pappas.)

Edit: I don't know which dates suit me, preferably during the crossover of Melbourne school and Sydney school holidays. However Easter would be unlikely for me.

 

[kirtpro]

TimMc, im volunteering myself to be part of the organizational team. At this stage I'll continue to try find new Sydney competitors. I know mum's mentioned to you about trying to find sponsorship for prizes. Rest assured, during the comp, i can show new competitors how to help out

also, Bryson mentioned he had 7 people interested.

edit: Bryson now says he has 5 people who might be able to go

 

[David Zemdegs]

As fazmum is from sydney originally then we would be a definite....
depending when it is though - faz has a school excursion so only april 14th onwards would work

 

[kirtpro]

woulds Magic and Master Magic be held?

edit:
William Dinh would go, he lives in Syd.
Bryson is asking about the Magic events because that's what his sister can do
