UK Open 2012

[kinch2002]

I'm pleased to announce that the UK Open 2012 will be held on 3/4th November at the O2 Academy in Leicester. We'll be in the Main Academy on both days.

WCA link to competition

The website will be at www.ukca.org but for now you can see all the details here

The organisational team will be myself, James Molloy ('Mollerz') and Laurence Livsey (president of LUSCS and 'CubeRoots' on this forum). Seventowns will again be lending us their much-appreciated support.

The venue is larger than last year, but an initial registration limit of around 100 has been set as this is the capacity that the first draft schedule is designed for. Registration will open at 8pm on Friday 21st September on the WCA page linked above.

Events are the same as last year. Everything except multibld,6,7,fmc,feet

Good to see another UK Comp
I wouldn't mind helping out if you need it.

 

[CubeRoots]

Exciting

 

[chrissyD]

aww yea :3 May even be able to drive myself there

 

[Mollerz]

As always I am happy to supply my organisational skills.

 

[Escher]

Cool. I'll be there (so you'll have fun Daniel).

 

[Georgeanderre]

Oo yay

Only an hours drive from home so I should be able to attend... depending on the price of petrol of course

 

[5BLD]

Probably can go. Exciting stuff. Can't wait til next year when technically I'm allowed to learn to drive.


I did make the mistake of telling my mum about it early, now she can use it to 'blackmail' :/

You'll have to grow a bit first

So much for white text. Yarp, happened last year, nothing major. thankfully.
also, I'm only being slightly cautious cuz she now knows I have a SS account AND my username. Swearing just became 0.1% more dangerous...

Block the website... that's what I've done, only my laptop can access it

 

[5BLD]

Show me the way, master.

 

[Georgeanderre]

Show me the way, master.

Several ways but, by far, the easiest is to add it to a blocked sites list and put a password on it... Think I forgot mine, not that it matters

Or... you can become a brain surgeon and remove the part of their brains that hold the information that you don't want them to have (might take a while though )

Or do what some other people do.. simply just stop giving a *insert expletive here*

Going for successes in all BLD events

Your Zhanchi is now my main Ollie. but I am sure you will succeed, after you teach bld to my society my members will too

I'm honoured! Will definitely go for safety solves until I get a success, and if there are any attempts left go for speed. How many attempts will we get? Does it depend on time?

 

[Georgeanderre]

Something I meant to ask... is Registration free (as per UK Open 2011), is there a charge or is this undecided yet?

and which events are likely to be run.. I would really like some big cubes but I know theirs are time constraints :confused:

 

[5BLD]

Would be great to learn some blind too from you- you're great! I want at least a 3bld success xD

As for goals if I'm going which is very likely I'll just go for a sub-current NR avg. Shouldn't be too hard to break 8.81 I think by then

Also, will there be feet? I wanna actually try my weird MU technique on a mat lol. And edible as well as inedible prizes?
