Events: Everything except Feet and Clock.

...why? There's obviously demand in the community for Clock at least, and it's the national championships! I made this point last year, do we really have to deal with this again?

Pretty sure Dene's only reason for not wanting to hold clock is because of the logistical issues that happened in 2014. That said, clock has ran at 2 Canberra comps since then perfectly fine thanks to having one good clock scrambler for 2 heats and pushing the faster one through for the first heat to help get the first heat done even quicker (I know, what a concept).

I mean, if they're strapped for time, do what happened in Canberra this year and have 6 and 7 on simultaneously. That worked really well.

Hell, 4BLD and 5BLD simultaneously if you need to. Don't get rid of quick events that have demand just because you apparently don't like them.

I feel bad for you, clock NR holder

That doesn't even come into it except maybe subconsciously. It's that a national championship should have every event, otherwise why should it be called a national championship??

Ignoring the crude sarcasm because I love ya, to be honest I hadn't even considered the possibility of including clock, and will only do so if it can be guaranteed that we have two competent scramblers (bearing in mind the notation changed a few years ago, although I bet most people don't even realise that...)

The schedule hasn't even been started yet, so what do you think?

Cut skewb and I'll be there.

[Tommy Kiprillis]

Hopefully I can podium for square 1 if I go

what do you average on sq1?

 

[bryson azzopard]

Ill register today sometime when my pay goes in. Only thing i hope for is that the bld events are spread out a decent amount over the 2 days! And that 4bld and 5bld arent run together with an hour limit like 2013, 2014 nats (don't know about 2015 wasnt there) even though i can do it now days its just a pain cramming all that info in that hour! How it was in 2012 was perfect 3bld first round and 5bld day one and 4bld, multi 3bld 2nd round day 2 *cough dene *

 

[Dene]

@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).

I like to consider myself fairly competent at clock scrambling, so that's one down.

 

[Kevin Luong]

In 3x3 is it gonna be spread or

Thanks for the warning

Attention Dene or any WCA delegate!

I have apparently registered as a beginner on the WCA website when I go to Competitors and my is in blue (Nicholas Gayed) meaning I would've registered as a first time competitor. I have been to a competition before, Sydney Summer 2015. Then I was generated with the WCA ID 2015GAYE01. It would be greatly appreciated if you could link this with my current WCA ID so I will not be given a new WCA ID after Nationals

I classify as a competent scrambler (also the new WCA notation ftw)

 

[Nick4nick6]

perhaps you should email them directly instead of here.

tim would be preferred im pretty sure.

Thankyou!
I may email one of those delegates.

Wait a minute. What if people weren't able to sign up for clock because they registered before it was put in as an optional event, but do want to do clock?

i registered for clock but it got denied. it's a shame clock is not running.

 

[FastCubeMaster]

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

So did mine. God this is confusing.
