Vårgårda Open 2012 (Sweden)

[Gunnar]

Hi!

I can hereby announce the swedish competition Vårgårda Open 2012, which will take place in Vårgårda (big surprise ), the 21-22 of July.

You can register here: https://worldcubeassociation.org/results/c.php?i=VargardaOpen2012

We will have a limit of 60 participants and will try to squeeze in all official events. I'm the delegate and Claes Hedin (2009HEDI01) will be the main organizer.

The competition webpage is right now showing the info for last year's competition, but it'll be updated in 1-2 days, so have patience.

---UPDATE---
A kind donor, who wants to remain anonymous, has donated 10000 SEK (about 1000€) for prize money. It will be destributed as follows:

1st place in 3x3 finals: 5000 SEK
Best swede in 3x3 finals: 5000 SEK

If the winner is from Sweden he/she will recieve 7500 SEK, and the remaining 2500 SEK will go to the one placing 2nd in 3x3.

I'll be there. It would be a shame of me if I wasn't, since I live there.

Anyway, I will probably register for some events that I don't feel confident in yet. But I hope that I will in time for the competition.

No problem, just be sure to unregister from any event that you might feel that you won't participate, once you've descided. It helps a lot when planning the schedule to know the number of participants in each event.

 

[samkli]

I will probably come

If I preregister now, can I remove/add events later?

 

[Zookiedoken]

Yes you can add/remove events later.
But please be sure sometime before the comp starts. We dont want lots of changes last days and need to change the schedule.
Just simply email me and tell your registrationname and what you wish to add/remove. That way I can change it.

Looking forward to see you there.

This would be nice but I don't know if I can/can afford it -_- would be fun to embarrass myself with bad times tho ;p

 

[BrainOfSweden]

Now that I only live <1 hour away from Vårgårda by train, this would be perfect as my first competition. The only problem is that I don't know if I have a job in the summer yet, cause if I do, I'll propably work on weekends

 

[joey]

[Zookiedoken]

Oh yes Joey you really should go!

We also have a sponsor from Brad Vrooman
He will sponsort with stickers and some lube to use during the competition.
We have enough sets of 3x3 stickers to give each competitor a set.

Hope to see many cubers there!

 

[MeshuggahX]

That was generous of Brad Vrooman and especially the anonymous donor.

Hi Everyone!

It would be great to take part again on this competition. I've checked flights & there is quite OK flight on Friday-Monday to Skavsta.
May I join to somebody's car from/to Skavsta & may I sleep on Sunday at somebody's place near to Skavsta?!

 

[Pitzu]

Yesss!!! I'm coming. I've just registered & bought flight ticket to/from Skavsta for Friday/Monday!
- As I know train ticket prices are changing in Sweden according to date. When do you advice me to buy them?
- Are there only those 2-bed rooms in the venue what we saw last year, or are there bigger ones? If this is the only option could anyone share a room with me?

 

[Pitzu]

Or a better idea instead of trains on Friday: Could anyone pick me up in ***köping (Norr-, Ny-, Lin)

 

[coinman]

If I go you might go with me, I will drive, but I have not registered yet sins i don't know so far in advance if I can go. Why don't you PM Gunnar on facebook or here (but i don't think he is her so often)?

 

[Lark]

Anyone who want to split a 4-man room at the Vårgårda hostel with me and 2 other guys? We plan to stay between Friday 20:th and Monday 23:th. The price will be 1940/4 = 485 kr for 3 nights.
