Anyone know for sure if a rubiks.com DIY is ok? What about cubesmith stickers?

I'll probably be judging at the competition. rubiks.com DIY should be fine but I'd strongly recommend getting some replacement stickers from rubiks.com

I'll be at the venue a few hours before the competition starts and can sell you a set of rubik's stickers at cost price for AU$2.50

I doubt an order from the US/CA would arrive before next weekend. It took about 3 weeks for my order to arrive. Whereas my cubesmith order arrived in 1 week....

After being out of practice over christmas I'm high 30s right now. I need to rework the cross, F2L look ahead and OLL recognition over the next week, so I may well be in the 20s by then if I can cut 10 seconds of thinking out. Then again, this is with the Rubiks DIY which is still prone to the occaisional lockup, and I need to do something about those flying centre caps.

I have enough rubiks.com stickers. I have about 6 sets of those thin vinyl ones with no logo which I don't use on black cubes because the yellow and orange look more like mustard and brown.
 
I loled at the registration.



To help us with the running of the championship, could you please give us an idea of how quickly you can solve the cube:
about mins
[We won't tell any other contestants, it just helps us with organisation].

Also, what's a "Rubik's Pack"?

There will probably be some people who still use their whole hands to turn a face that think they will win.

I do that <.< where n > 3 on an n*n*n cube :p

Considering that it's at the Australian Games Expo, there will probably be door prizes and other freebies from a range of game designers and companies! There's going to be heaps of other games there, with free entry to the expo.

So if you're in Canberra and don't have something better to do on a Sunday afternoon, why not check it out? ;)

I'm sure there must be more than a handful of cubers in Canberra. :D

Nick Pappas and ZB_FTW aren't going?

I'm not sure about Nick but I thought ZB_FTW was going.

I raced him a few weeks ago in 3x3 and he was beating me with an average of 25. I've dropped my average to 21 since then but I most likely wont be competing. Maybe his times have improved with practice too... o.O

I just called up asking if i could use my DIY cube that wasn't from rubik's.com and they said they didn't understand the question >_>
