like ton said, we can film us organising it to prove we can organise a comp, then that might lead to us getting a home grown delegate, like u tim

ok, only 15 days to go.

Should we use CCT as a display?

 

[xpboy]

yep, i think we need the CCT connect to a laptop as a display, just make sure the desk is big enough will be all right

Also we need to confirm there are enough connect cables for the CCT

[TimMc]

I can't get CCT to work properly with my stackmat. If you're able to set it up, go for it. I'll bring my laptop with CCT and the timer.

[Faz]

I HAVE NO STACKMAT!

Rules and Regulations have been printed.

The scrambles have been generated, printed and sealed in accordance with WCA regulations:

Round		Scrambles	Moves
2x2x2 		5		25
3x3x3 OH 	5		x
5x5x5 		5		60
3x3x3 BLD 	3		x
4x4x4		5		40
3x3x3		5		x

*x - varies from 20 to 21 as per Cube Explorer's implementation

Here's an idea of how much time each round may take:
- assuming there's one scrambler
- assuming that each scramble is done at 1 turn per second
- and assuming that no mistakes are made (tolerance will be required)

Round		Scrambles	Moves	Persons		Scr. Time	Av. Solve	P. Time		Total Time
2x2x2		5		25	8		16:40		15		02:00		18:40
3x3x3 OH	5		21	6		10:30		60		06:00		16:30
5x5x5		5		60	5		25:00		300		25:00		50:00
3x3x3 BLD	3		21	3		03:09		240		12:00		15:09
4x4x4		5		40	5		16:40		180		15:00		31:40
3x3x3		5		21	10		17:30		50		08:20		25:50
						Total	01:29:29			01:08:20	02:37:49

It'll be easier to schedule if we confirm the number of competitors for each round.

I'll probably print another set of scrambles closer the competition and will have the generators available on my laptop in case something happens (or if someone questions my credibility).

Cheers,
Tim.

how do you know the number of ppl per event?
or is it guessing?

good work on printing scrambles early.

 

[Cyradis]

Cheers

HAHA
I met him on the train

 

[Michael_Chai]

And i think it's necessary for us to use CCT as display in final round...

I'm just guessing

Tim.

I've some cables, adapters and laptops handy. I'm just working on getting the settings to work properly. My sound card is randomly inverting the signal and the driver is causing other problems. So I'm tweaking both the driver and CCT.

It should be working by the comp

Tim.

 

[Michael_Chai]

i'll show you something that might be useful this weekend

 

[TimMc]

CCT Update:
- I dual booted into ubuntu and it works fine
- This indicated that there's something wrong with my drivers in Windows
- At the moment there's about a 1-2 second delay between the timer and the screen updating (I'll try another OS and boot off a usb stick)

So we finally have make-shift displays ;-P (if you consider using laptops as a downgrade)

Tim.

2 more days people. Try and arrive about 9:45, so that we can start the schedule early, and maybe add a surprise event
