Nottingham University Comp. May 4th-5th

[MaeLSTRoM]

Hi, I have just registered for this but have never competed before. My cube is stickerless, would I need one with stickers? I have it in my head you can't compete with a stickerless cube but I'm not sure if that's right?

Yep, unfortunately you can't use a stickerless cube in a competition. You would need one with stickers and a single colour of plastic.

 

[~Adam~]

You will need a non stickerless cube to compete with. It is likely you will be able to borrow one from some kind individual (there're loads of them).

Alternatively puzl.co.uk stock most Dayan cubes last time I checked and they typically get cubes out to the UK within 3 days.

Cool, thank you! I'll try to get hold of one but good know I might be able to borrow one if I don't get one in time. thanks

I don't know if anyone has made any plans for a Friday meet-up yet, but I'd like to suggest we head out to Mooch bar, on campus? Being on campus, and campus being about 15-20 minutes from the city centre, it'll give people a firm idea of where the competition is. It's also a pretty chilled out place, seems like the sort of place where these things happen.
I have Billy and Callum stopping with me during the weekend, and we'll rock up when we can it'll be my last day of lectures, so the bar definitely feels in order

I might turn up, It's entirely likely that I'll be sorting out some last minute stuff and I also want a decent amount of sleep, but I can probably hang around for a bit. The only problem I can see is that because mooch is quite popular, there might be quite a bit of unwanted attention XD.
Also, If anyone turns up on Friday and wants to know where the comp is on campus, I'll be happy to show you there. I don't have any lectures on a Friday, so I'll be free all day.

Unfortunately I am going to have to cancel my attendance to this one. Gutted, but I have a very urgent project at work, and with the deadline looming I am going to have to devote my weekend to it.

I will, however, be registering for Cambridge and look forward to seeing you all there.

Apologies

phooey

This makes me sad
Hope to see you soon!
I've removed your registration as well.

OK so doing this yeah? If everyone who has comp timers can bring them along as well, then we can sort out who has them and who is going to bring them to the venue etc. So that's Tim, Ryan, me, Rob, LAURENCE and anyone who feels helpful. Shall we say 7pm for that by the bottom of the Portland stairs? Or later? I don't mind really but we need all the timers+displays in 1 place so we can redistribute. I might stick around for a bit afterwards as well depending on how much coursework I have left :rolleyes:

 

[timelonade]

Sounds perfect, I will bring my box of joy

 

[Kirjava]

I will be around notts from like 1:30-5ish on friday.

Yes, this sounds good! We'll definitely be able to make that and 7pm sounds fine.

 

[CubeRoots]

i'ma be later than 7 i'm afraid, probably more like 9/10, but i will be coming dw (with timing stuff)

Just to clarify, there'll be people in the Mooch bar on campus from ~6pm onwards. If you're in the city centre, you can get a 36 or Y36 bus from there to the university north entrance (first stop after the QMC), then follow signposts on campus to the Portland Building. Mooch is on the bottom floor
Looking forward to this weekend, guys
