Australian Nationals 2016 (Sydney)

[Dene]

Can schedule be up sooner please?

Just clarifying, sooner that what, exactly?

 

[OLLiver]

Anyone know of any hostels near the venue? or other cheap places to stay?

 

[OLLiver]

Soz for double post but, Dene/Tim any chance I can registration on sat a bit late as my flight would land in the morning and I could be there late?

 

[bryson azzopard]

Also we doing fmc mean or just single?

 

[Ben Wak]

Anyone willing to take me from Melbourne to Sydney
LoL I probley won't be able to go anyway

 

[Dene]

@OLLiver google knows. Also that's fine, as always we'll have peeps showing up late. Just make sure you register when you get there.

@bryson azzopard probably single, but we'll see what we have time for. We'll do 2 or 3 solves if we can. After all, all that time we make up not doing clock has to go somewhere

I think we should have 2 multi attempts this year and just single for fmc, that'd be a good use of clock time, agreed dene

Not sure, but hopefully sooner rather than later.

 

[Dene]

By the way guys, if you were thinking of putting off registering, we're not far off maxing out, so I suggest you do it asap!

 

[FastCubeMaster]

Dene or Tim, can I please Register for clock, because I have already registered for the competition but I have now decided to do clock.
Thanks.

 

[Dene]

We aren't doing clock so don't worry about it.

 

[megaminxwin]

We aren't doing clock so don't worry about it.

Then I vote we don't do 7x7, 4BLD, 5BLD, or MBLD, since those have equal or lesser numbers and take longer to do.

 

[Dene]

lol funny, you think it's a vote, haha

 

[megaminxwin]

lol funny, you think it's a vote, haha

Then give me a reason why Australian Nationals won't have clock, but will have less popular events, even though it should have every event since it's a national championship. That's the whole point of nationals, to find out the best in every event.

And if it's just a name, why bother calling it nationals? Why not just call it "Sydney Winter 2016" or whatever?

 

[Dene]

tbh, what you're saying doesn't really make much sense. Nothing obliges a national competition to have every event. Since when was the "whole point" of nationals to find the best in every event? Also, fyi we've never had feet at nationals but I don't see you fighting for that.

Why shouldn't we call it nationals? You're right, it is just a name. None of it means anything, other than a few people being able to say, if they so desire, that at the competition we decided to call "nationals" they won a particular event. The only thing that really differentiates it from other competitions is we deliberately make the time to do more events, more rounds, and have better prizes and things. Other than that there's nothing special about it.

Schedules up, woo for FMC mo3

Gee wizz Rhys you don't even give us time to make sure it's 100% ok before you notice it's up. Anyway, that's pretty much it.

Everyone please note that we've put rough estimates for groups, by first name of course. There's lots of overlap between the two stages so make sure you know exactly where you need to be, at what time. If you have a clash we'll make it work so don't stress.

TAKE SOME GOOD ADVICE and please write down your own personal schedule so you know exactly what you'll be doing across the weekend.
