hey this is another thread about the melbourne open im wanting 2 b making in march. is late march (e.g the 25th) any good for any of you aussie cubers???? (not exact date, but will be around then). also what events do you thing that i should make??? should i do all of them since it is the first aussie comp???? please vote in the poll about if you can come or not

 

[ShadenSmith]

I'm not an aussie, so definitely not.

 

[aznblur]

HSC, probably not.

 

[Rawn]

Maybe. I my parents might drive down from Sydney and while they go and do their own thing, I'll come and cube.

cool, at least one sydney cuber. John, so the only time you can come is in January right??? srry but i dont think that it is possible with wat im doin

 

[Leviticus]

Not if it isn't official.

Not if it isn't official.

i am only starting to organise it with ron, i just emailed him last night, it will hopefully be official, since everyone wants the aussie record

 

[Rawn]

I doubt I'll get anything lol. Maybe if I practise BLD??

 

[Rubixcubematt]

wat r ur times rawn, im sure u will improve, it is still almost half a year away

 

[Rawn]

I'm I bit under 30's with roux and in the process of learning CMLL's. With BLD I've just started learning lol. I've been cubing for around 7 months and I'm Sub-30 after switching from Fridrich. So I guess I "could" get Sub-20 after half a year.

Or I could practise other puzzles (2x2, 4x4, Megaminx, Square-1 etc)

 

[Rubixcubematt]

yea. cool. i have just started blindfold solving as well. it is so exiting when you get a successful solve. what method do u use???

 

[Rawn]

I'm using Old Pochmann and M2. Yeah I was so excited when I got my first sucessful solve. I was jumping around the house (Literally)

 

[Leviticus]

I wouldn't improve much anyway. I have to study for school and that. But i would aim for sub 2 5x5, sub 14 3x3, sub 1.10 4x4

 

[Rubixcubematt]

so you'd be able to come levi???

what aussie record.? you want it?

 

[Rubixcubematt]

what aussie record.? you want it?

well dont people like being recognised for what they like doing, everyone at some point would like to hold the national record

 

[joshuali]

my records are so crappy at the moment...sigh....levi and chris will break the big cubes with ease

I discussed this a bit with Ron last weekend. This is the conclusion:
If you want to make it official and need a WCA-delegate I can become one and be there.

But...... It is very expensive for me to come so I will only do it if I am sure it will be a good competition (fully WCA-compliant, 2 days and > 20 competitors) and if I know early enough so I can plan a big vacation around that competition.

Please let me know how serious you are about organising this tournament and what I / Ron can do to help. And also let us know what you have already planned and realised (venue/sponsors)

i am actually trying 2 be quite serious about organising a comp. i was planning it to be one day but i guess we could start of a friday, since i was planing it to be in the school holidays. i already have a venue that i would like to use which would be the church i attend. it has a stage, seats and an audio system we could use. i guess we could try to get some NZ cubers over here for the comp
Im not sure who i should ask as a sponsor. do you have any ideas???? (since this is the first comp in australia, it may get a fair bit of publicity, meaning sponsors get publicity)

I can't make it, I'll be in California.
