Hey everyone, I'm new and have never been to a competition. It seems like you have to average around 10 seconds to be good enough to be at a competition, but I am far from that, and still need a lot of practice. What kind of times should I be aiming for to qualify for a competition? btw I live in Sydney.
What kind of times should we be averaging to qualify for the comp?

Doesn't matter whether you are slow or not! Just compete for the fun and experience. However, there will be a time limit, which is normally 10 minutes (in Aussie comps I think), and that's very hard to exceed. Anyway, just do your best

21st April? I'm good for that, and I only know that because I voted for literally everything up there in the thing. Cool.
Of course the only problem is, if we don't get it official in about 4 days, we might get some problems. But still pretty awesome. Let's try and get this official as fast as we can.
Are the events still 2x2-5x5, OH, BLD, pyra and magic?

Thanks man, I will definitely consider going. I usually average around 40 seconds. Learning Fridrich and practicing f2l.
Thanks so much, I think that I will most likely be going!

Let's put it this way: we've been trying to get a comp in Sydney for a long time now and it's finally only maybe happening. If it does, don't expect another one for a long time. If you don't come, you have no right to complain about us not having another one

I think so for the event. It's a quite nice events to have in 1 day competition.

So, is it definitely going to be on the 21st of April? Because I am away that weekend. The poll shows that most people want the 14th of April, so is that a possibility?

I don't think so. I think there's a regulation saying that you have to announce a competition at least a month before it starts, and we're past that cutoff. It's either the 21st, or we'll have to... edit the poll. Well that isn't so bad, but you know what I mean.
Besides, the 21st is a weekend inside of the NSW school holidays, which is handy. CANCEL ALL PLANS

I don't think it should be a month before that competition should be announced.
I have seen some competition that just announced about 3 weeks before.

There isn't. There is a regulation, however, that says a competition should be announced at least a month before the date.

It takes a committed (and maybe financial) individual to do the ground work and secure a venue. I had to do that a couple of years ago. I organised the venue - I paid for it up front and then it happened. Someone in Sydney has to do the same.

So to confirm, it is locked in for April 21st? Please no.

Ohh. Well that makes things *slightly* easier, but not much.
pkvk: No new updates, it looks like.
I think we should probably find a venue that will be willing to hold a competition some time in the next few months before we work out a date. That way, it should be easier to work something out several months in advance so that we can actually be prepared, rather than having to be extremely rushed, like what we're doing now.
...there probably shouldn't be a poll on this any more, the first two are out of the question, and the other three are still quite rushed. If a mod could edit this, that would be great.

I doubt it. Considering the time frame that we have, the fact that we still haven't found a proper venue, and that the organisation that we have right now for this comp doesn't appear to be going anywhere, we'll probably have to do it later.
But it doesn't have to be in the holidays at all. I can remember going down to the Melbourne Summer 2010 comp, when school had just started in NSW. If we can get everything sorted, we might be able to get a comp not long after the holidays. Who knows, it could be the first weekend back. Let's just see how it goes.
