Australian Nationals 2010

Very good! You better make sure to give them 10 minutes though

 

[jianziboy]

10 is way to much

If you guys can have this amount of comps a year I'd be happy enough. One more might just make it a bit "full of it" (is that the right saying?) But If you wanted a another comp, I would go with maybe April or November. Just a suggestion. But how come at Melbourne Winter Open, the cut off for 4x4 was 1:45, but at AUS Nationals, its only 2 mins???

Happy Cubing...

What exactly do you think is a good number of comps? Personally, I think the more the merrier, although unfortunately practical issues to play a role. I mean, it's not as if you have to attend every comp possible.

I'm not sure about the 4x4 cutoff, but if what you say is true I guess the logic behind it is that we have much more time to manage it with a two day comp.

Lol @ too many comps. Places like the netherlands and california have more than 10 competitions a year.

 

[AnthonyH]

Comps are fun why would you say theres too many?

 

[hic0057]

Is there anymore news about nationals happening. It hasn't been confirm on WCA site

 

[Faz]

Yes, we still have 2 weeks to announce it, and also, afaik, Tim is deciding among 3 venues.

 

[JHcubing]

Which are the 3 venues that are going to be decided on?

 

[Faz]

Undisclosed

 

[JHcubing]

oh come on..

Nice Video of you celebrating the 30th anniversary of the cube Faz http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/1310902/Thirty-years-on-Rubik-s-Cube-is-still-cool Funny that you have to wear a tie for school.

 

[Faz]

Well, there's 2 now, but neither of them are definitely available. I think Tim tried to book RMIT today.

 

[JHcubing]

ah okay, cool.

Thanks faz.

".....but it does get a bit much sometimes when he's cubing at the dinner table, or cubing while we're trying to watch TV or something like that."

Lol! You have a Cool father!

The limit must be if you jump of the school, anything less is fine!

GPT are keen to support us by letting us use their venue, Melbourne Central, and by providing: staging, tables, chairs, and security. We just need to work out the logistics and confirm the entry fee. It will likely be a $10-20 Gift Voucher.

I've also booked the Spiritual Centre at RMIT University as a backup.

The competition is still set for the 4th and 5th of September.

Tim.

nub.

Erm, so, you have melbourne central, and RMIT booked? What's the time frame - I made up a schedule, but that was from 9:30-5:30 each day, and I'm not sure how we're going to fit everything into a 10-4 schedule - at Melbourne Central.

Also, is there enough room there - for scrambling area, competitors area, and the stage. Remember, it's not going to be like at NZ, where the majority of people are competing in 3x3, lots of people are competing in different events. I expect maybe 50 people, plus guests, so that would be 75 people, confined into that small area.

Maybe we could organise a more public competition, sometime soon, and call it the Australian Championships, and have that one at melbourne central.

I seriously think we should use the RMIT room, it would be much less stressful, for this 2 day, all event competition.

Just my opinion, and I'm sure that others, such as Dene, aronpm, ZB, etc, would agree with me.

I think it probably would be better at RMIT, because it would run smoother. Maybe one day we could have a competition there, but from what I know this one will be pretty packed, and the general public would just get in the way. Just my opinion.
