Australian Nationals 2012

[Dene]

Lol fair enough. I've been doing square 1 alot recently but OCR will be alot harder in that then magic and master magic, cause you and Feliks average around 20? And now that I think about it magic is like an event saying who can do the fastest u-perm. . .

I'll admit it will be hard to get Square-1 single, but average isn't too difficult. I never managed to get a decent Sq1 average when I practised it (I could have gotten sub17 on a decent average), and I don't think Faz was ever fast enough to get a decent average compared to the best competitors at the time.

Square-1 is lots of fun though, so you should practise it anyway! Who cares about OcR? If you finish first at ausnats you'll get a prize for it. (This reminds me, I should practise sq1 again for a while >.<)

Yeah i'll practise square 1 a fair bit. But first at ausnats probably not I forgot every square 1 alg and had to relearn them. . . So maybe next year if I keep the practice up and do well.

 

[Alcuber]

Is there any idea of what the cut-offs will be yet? Same as previous comps?

 

[Dene]

We hope to have the official schedule up today. I expect the cutoffs will be similar to the last competition. We try to be as generous as we can, but fitting so many events into two days means some events we will have to knuckle down on some.

 

[ottozing]

Are you still talking to TimMc about not doing magics?

 

[Dene]

It seems I have lost that fight. Unfortunately Tim plans on doing magics.

 

[TimMc]

The schedule has been updated.

Tim.

 

[Faz]

How will it work if a competitor is competing in both 4bld and fmc? Could they do their 4bld during lunch?

Laaaame. Magic is annoying to judge, stupid, and only a few people care about it.

I believe Tim's thoughts are that you can't do both.

 

[god of rubic 2]

Maybe we can switch the FMC event with the 4BLD?

 

[ottozing]

What would that accomplish?

 

[god of rubic 2]

Then some people can finish 4BLD, then do FMC...

or am I just stoopid?

 

[Dene]

4bld is for half an hour, FMC is for an hour. We can't swap them.

 

[god of rubic 2]

Aww k, maybe switch with one of the events on the first day? I dunno..

 

[ottozing]

Maybe we could remove magic and master magic to make room :rolleyes:

You're missing the point, the idea is that people can't do both...

See this is what I would rather do.

 

[bryson azzopard]

cant we do magic and master magic at lunch plus i want to get the OCR for master magic too. so keep it its the last time it will be held in australia and it doesnt take long to do the average of 5 on both puzzles

 

[TimMc]

15min for Magic and 15min for Master Magic on Saturday.

Can do either 4bld or fmc but not both.

Tim.

 

[Dene]

Good luck, because I'm going to be judging and it's going to be strict.
