Australian Nationals 2013 (Canberra)

[rock1313]

I'd like to get an official 7x7 solve, so I'm planning on entering at nationals
The problem is I average about 13 minutes... (I should be faster before the competition though.)
I think I would be a fair bit faster if I could borrow someone's decent 7x7 instead of my v-cube. Does anyone have one I could borrow?

I've got a broken in v-cube 7 that is almost just as fast as my SS and it's white

Assuming I can get it fixed (will know later today probably), I can lend you my SS mini. I'm not competing in 7x7

Thanks guys, I'd be happy with either of these Now to practice 7x7...

The government decided to pick Saturday for an election after the competition was announced :-/

Anyone willing to sell a SS 5x5/6x6 at the competition?

I can take a few new cubes to sell, including a SS5x5. Just look for the ridiculously tall guy

Does anyone know what the hard limit is likely to be for the 4x4? I think usually it's about 3 minutes isn't it? I'm practicing hard trying to get consistently under this time.

What colour is it?

 

[god of rubic 2]

Just asking, $88 for each day?

And also what other expenses do I have to pay people for, petrol etc.

We will be as generous as we can, but it is going to be a busy schedule if 45 people show up. Therefore I expect we will set the cutoff at 2 minutes.

Thanks for the reply Dene. I'm not worried about the cut-off limit. Two solves is fine for me... it would just be nice to get an official time so I was interested in the "hard limit". Right now I'm averaging about 3:05.

White.

Ah ok. I haven't even considered hard limits, but I'd expect it to be 4 minutes probably.

That would be awesome.

 

[YddEd]

White.

Ooh good. How much would you sell it for? Have you done any mods to it?

 

[Faz]

Does anyone have any spare SS 6x6 internals (the big one) for sale? I've lost one.

Lol you're like me. I absolutely suck at 7x7

We'll be aiming to have all the first rounds, all blindfolded events, and some second rounds on Saturday.

@new competitors: You should aim to show up at the start on time. You can show up just before your event starts but you won't be able to compete in an event if that round has already finished (i.e. please don't rock up on Sunday expecting to compete in 3x3 when you didn't compete in the first round on Saturday).

I'll work on the schedule with Dene (? :-D) this weekend and send out more details.

53 competitors!!!

Tim.

I'd be happy to sell it for $15. It's new in the box. I haven't done any mods to it. Speaking of which, if anyone could tell me how to mod my SS4x4 so it doesn't lock up I would be eternally grateful! My 3x3 stage takes forever!

Don't you think having all blindfold events in the same day is a little too much?

 

[Dene]

Don't you think having all blindfold events in the same day is a little too much?

Not at all. Do you find it particularly taxing? Maybe I can't understand because I don't do the events, but we simply won't have time on Sunday.
