Shepparton Winter Open 2013 (Aussie)

[etshy]

Seen on cubecomps:

Feliks Zemdegs
Australia
25.34 DNF DNF DNF DNF DNF WR 25.34

wtf ? Did Feliks actually get a new 4^3 WR and then DNF the next four solves ?

Edit: his average looks more normal now. Congrats for the WR anyway.

Feliks is back , YAY !!

Great competition, thanks everyone for letting it go so smoothly.

If anyone has an extra stackmat timer (unmarked, I know - how clever of me) in their bag, it'll be swish if you could let me know, thanks. :tu

Got it.

Tim.

So it was you causing all the stress for us after the competition eh?

Got it.

Good, thanks.

Sorry , I looked for it before I left and assumed someone had accidentally taken it because it wasn't on the table where I left it.

Ok guys! I want feedback on the venue! Did you like it? Good lighting? Good space?

Did you think it was a good one off or would you like one yearly/twice yearly?

Twice yearly would be great

It's definitely suitable for 25-30 competitors. I don't think the venue can support much more unless people that aren't judging, scrambling, running or solving go into another room...

The temperature and lighting were great. The six-table layout seemed to work. Although we could probably reduce it down to 4-5 tables to have a bit more room for spectators.

These were the only PBs I broke in the competition.

Spoiler: Video description

(9.61), (13.69), 9.88, 11.46, 12.15 = 11.16

This was a ridiculously good average and single. I also got a nice 11.92 average in the finals, which placed me third. And the reason it looks different is because I edited it with windows movie maker, because that's all there is on the computer I'm using atm - I'm not back in Melbourne yet.

Cube: Guhong v1
Method: CFOP

Not really fast enough to make a new thread for.

I didn't break any PBs, nor at the last comp so be happy bro

I liked the venue, very good lighting, close proximity to shops, plenty of parking spaces nearby. As Tim mentioned, it's probably not quite ideal for large competitions, but the fact that it's all the way in Shepparton will keep down the competitor numbers a bit and naturally prevent overly large comps.

@Cameron, nice average and singles :tu, I missed you getting those sub-10s.

Dang, I live in melbourne and found out about it the day after it ended. Sounded like fun. Are there going to be any other competitions around this Victorian area this year? I have checked the WCA website and not found anything. Dose anyone know of any competitions?

Thanks.

 

[Dene]

Nothing has been organised yet, although we can almost guarantee at least one more competition in Victoria this year.

 

[Samster779]

Yay thanks a bunch. If you organise anything can you give me a yell? Thanks!

 

[Dene]

Just keep an eye on these forums or else speedcubing.com.au. As soon as we have something organised, it will be posted in both places.

 

[Samster779]

Thanks

Just wondering. I am maybe thinking about going to Australian nationals in Canberra. I average around 40-45 on 3x3, would I be okay to compete?

You're okay to compete even if you average 3 minutes. Just have fun if you do

 

[Samster779]

Thanks!

Even if you average up to 10 minutes if you really want to! One of the most famous cubers now did his first official solve when he averaged the same as you.
