Tim and Dene have both stated that if you organise a competition in Sydney they are happy to attend. Maybe some rego fee towards their flights/petrol, but it's not their fault there aren't competitions, it's the attitude of "someone else will organise x".

Sydney can have a delegate if someone steps up and takes ownership of the Sydney cubing community. Nothing is preventing Sydney from having competitions; certainly the fact that Sydney doesn't have a delegate has absolutely nothing to do with the lack of competitions there.

I'm not aware of any age limit. However I can absolutely guarantee that I see no chance of you becoming a delegate, based on the opinion I have developed of you in recent times. At least not any time in the semi-near future.
EDIT: Directed at Nader.

As far as I know, no. In all honesty though, you and Nader Cube are too young to take up becoming a delegate.

As Jayden said too young,but what do you mean by based on the opinion I have developed of you in recent times. At least not any time in the semi-near future.

His opinion on you currently is basically what is what he has seen of you on the forums (I think). Often your writing is hard to read and doesn't use correct grammar. You ignore the "edit" button and just make another post, breaking a forum rule. A poor moderator (often brest) has to get around to merging the post for you.
That's what I think he means by his "opinion" on you.
I think he means it just looks a little unprofessional.

Yeah I'm usually top in my class for grammar and writing,but when it comes to talking using a device I don't bother using grammar or editing.Since I'm breaking the forum rules which I didn't know grammar was a rule I'm improving.Yeah basically I just started getting into speedsolving.com recently so I'm trying to improve my knowledge.

Using incorrect grammar isn't breaking a rule but "double posting" is.

Not writing well isn't breaking the rules, it's just bad manners. Why make someone else put more effort into reading your posts when you can just write clearly and make it easier for everyone?

Oh I'm just gonna go read the forum rules again.

Firstly what Jack said; the general laziness and lack of effort you put into your posts on the forums demonstrates a poor attitude towards those around you.
Secondly I get a strong impression of ignorance about how the WCA works in general, especially based on your posts in this thread just now. This also makes me suspect you don't know the regulations, which is critical to becoming a delegate.
Thirdly, you demonstrate a general lack of intelligence in your posts. This may just be because you're young, therefore haven't had the opportunity to learn things yet. Also, intelligence isn't a necessary component of becoming a delegate. However I think it is generally expected, as a delegate needs to be a leader and a decision maker, which generally is bred of intelligence.
Fourthly you have shown no initiative to taking action towards contributing to the cubing community. This shows a lack of leadership which is crucial to being a delegate.
Fifthly, Tim McMahon needs to be shown that you are someone that can be trusted in the utmost with the responsibility and honesty that comes with being a delegate. I'm not saying you have shown yourself to be untrustworthy, just you haven't shown that you're trustworthy. This is mainly because he's barely met you before.
I could probably think of more, but I have other things to do. In short, if you want to be handed the responsibility of becoming a delegate you have to grow up a lot and wise up a lot. This isn't something you can fix overnight either; we're talking about years in the future. Then there has to be a need for someone to become a delegate, which at this stage there is not. I suggest you put the idea out of your mind completely, and focus your efforts on organising competitions in Sydney to grow the community up there.

I think the most we have per city is: Canberra (51), Melbourne (42), Sydney (42).
But yeah, Sydney seems to have more cubers close to the CBD. A lot of people travel from the suburbs or interstate for Melbourne/Canberra...
