Hi All, this is an account i've set up for the exec of the Rubik's Cube Society at the University of Sydney. Just thought i'd let people know that we are happy to take on the challenge of holding a competition. We'd very much appreciate any advice you can provide. We will make an effort to keep a breast of this thread but if you have any thoughts you really think we need then feel free to email us at [email protected]

I know that my school has heaps of cubers from all years (7-12). We even had our own competition set up by the teachers on our celebration day, so I'm pretty sure that if I spread the word more people will attend this event.

hmm do u perhaps by chance go to my school? MFHS?

[Dene]

Registration will be set up once the competition is confirmed etc.

are you from sydney tech? on their wiki page it has rubiks cube under its extra curricular activity section and when i versed them at tennis, they had a bunch of cubers

Hello,

@Usyd the main things to prepare for this competition are: find a suitable venue, find three trestle tables and 6 chairs for 6 competitors, one scramble table, establish a crew of helpers, and read the WCA regulations.

We can help out with equipment, and prizes, and certificates etc. If you'd like to continue to host competitions then I'd recommend preparing scorecards, name tags, certificates, and prizes on the future. It would help if you purchased equipment too so that there are less travel costs and so that you'd have more flexibility when hosting competitions.

FYI: my gf went to usyd at the start of the year and last year, studying master of IT, but she couldn't find the club...

Tim.

Just for info,

UNSW venue cost $685 for 1 day. Hopefully, Usyd will cost lower than that.

 

[ottozing]

I'm available for any day. yay for my first comp

 

[MadeToReply]

if this competition were to happen, when will the exact day be on?

 

[Dene]

if this competition were to happen, when will the exact day be on?

Most likely the day will "be on" April 14. Not sure if that's exactly the response you were looking for, but your question doesn't make too much sense in general.

 

[David Zemdegs]

I think they mean day of the week. Most comps are run on saturdays.

 

[MadeToReply]

no dene answered my question and i knew all the dates up there are saturday

 

[Daryl]

Is there any news about the venue from Usyd cube soc ?

 

[pkvk9122]

[Daryl]

@pkvk9122 can you please ask for it ? We look for venue that free

I don't know if Usyd already give the venue or not

 

[Dene]

Petersham looks to be pretty far out of the city. We were looking for something quite central. What's the transport like out to there?

 

[Damien Porter]

There are lots of buses through central and other parts of Sydney as well as the train.
