I'm not sure melbourne centrals the greatest idea as it has limited space, its noisy and last time people threw food at us from the top level (also during solves).

Yes, this is my main concern, it's disappointing that while we're down on the floor it's completely beyond our control.

 

[Tim Major]

fazdad, sounds good, but if you're going to state facts (9 quintillion possible combinations is wrong for the 3x3) get them right
But MCing was cool :tu

 

[Dene]

Yay

Should be able to. I might buy a microphone... I've an amp/speaker...

Noise: I'll schedule events around the clock going off this time. I can't do much about spectators talking but we can try to control judges and competitors (being quiet).

Space: I've asked for more space this time.

Security: They'll be on call. Hopefully the fact that the old section of the food court is blocked off might mean that less *****s are standing directly above us and throwing things.

3 rounds 3x3, 2x2.
2 rounds Pyraminx, OH, 4x4, 3BLD.
1 round 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, Square-1, Clock, Multi, 4BLD, 5BLD, Magic, Master Magic.
Yes? If this is correct I can write a mock schedule.

 

[Zane_C]

I forgot about the food court being blocked off, hopefully it's still like that during the event.

[RCTACameron]

I should be there, can't wait.

So like 2:45 5x5 cutoff? That would be awesome, I can finally get an official average.

 

[rubiksarlen]

it's a good thing the comp's held in Melbourne Central cos it's been a while since a Aussie comp HASN'T been held in RMIT spiritual centre.

RMIT Spiritual Centre is a great venue, so I don't mind having all our comps there.

 

[David Zemdegs]

I like the spiritual centre too as cubism is a sort of religion to some...

 

[AsianCubing]

I would go but my mum wouldn't let me

Ok, I'm an aussie, but what is "MCing"?

"Master of Ceremonies" ~ essentially speaking with a microphone (calling out events ~ what's up next?, trivia etc).

I'll look for a microphone today <.<

The venue doesn't have chairs and RUSU don't either. I'll need to hire some... >.>
