Australian Nationals 2016 (Sydney)

[Dene]

May I ask what the $20 fee is for? (Just wondering)
Delegate flights, prizes, venue hire?

Like I don't want to be difficult but it's certainly not something we're going to openly discuss on a public forum. If you really care please e-mail us.

I wonder why you're even asking; the only reason I can think of that you'd even consider bringing it up is that you feel it's too high. Is that the case?

FYI, Speedcubing Australia is a registered Not-For-Profit in Australia, and all funds go there. Every cent that goes into SCA goes back into cubing.

@Rhys you know I don't wanna be mean but I've heard this kind of thing before (and it rarely goes well). Any chance of posting video proof that you're competent with clocks? Both scrambling and solving. Same goes for anyone pushing for it to be hosted.

 

[Dene]

In 3x3 is it gonna be spread or

I don't understand the question. Try again please?

 

[FastCubeMaster]

I don't understand the question. Try again please?

He's wondering if the 3x3 rounds will be spread evenly throughout the day. Kind've pointless question.

Oh, no I can afford it. But I was wondering because some competitions had a fee where other competitions didn't, that made me curious. Didn't realise it was that complicated.

A lot of factors contribute to it. We try to keep fees low... compared to many countries Australia is generally one of the cheapest, and we'd like to keep it that way.

Dunno I might just have a laugh and do it all in a row.

@bryson this time we should have much more space and time to have a good spread of events. Although one thing for all bld cubers to note is there won't be any quiet for bld events. You're just gonna have to accept the noise (like it was at Melbourne Central).

Id rather spread out events if it means noise im okay with that! For the clock talk i honestly are with you dene for not having it! At canberra we were 1/2 ahead then come clock and 1/2 behind. Although its a fastish event to slove seems to take forever to scramble.

Orly interesting thanks for the insight (others certainly seem to have misrepresented that!). Actually it's super quick to scramble, if you know how and practice it. That's the problem though...

For me:

 

[KamoCubes]

Is speedcube.com.au vending at nats and what will the prizes be?

 

[Dene]

@tomas ok good I'll give that a pass. Now I need one other (although preferably multiple of course).

Is speedcube.com.au vending at nats and what will the prizes be?

At this stage speedcube have confirmed they'll be there. We have no idea what prizes will be.

 

[Kevin Luong]

How many people do you think there will Be?

 

[Turbo Chicken]

Not really sure what competent scrambling is, hopefully this is enough.

 

[Dene]

Hmm maybe you'd make a good assistant scrambler, but that's not fast enough to give it the go ahead (but if it does go ahead, I'll be looking for you to scramble ).

 

[Turbo Chicken]

Roughly how fast is one required to be in order for clock to be run? I only started doing clock yesterday and have probably done about 120 solves ever so hopefully I can practice enough to be a fast enough scrambler.
