Rubik's 3x3x3 Speed/OH/BLD
2x2x2 Speed/OH
4x4x4 Speed
5x5x5 Speed
Megaminx
Rubik's Magic
Rubik's Master Magic
Square-1
et cetera
Once a group of competitors have been confirmed (their interest), it'll be easier to determine which events to run.
Tim.
I may aswell tell you the puzzles I have and stuff, since you wanted to know about what events we should do.
I currently have:
2 3x3x3 Rubik's Cubes
1 2x2x2 Cube
1 4x4x4 Cube
1 5x5x5 Cube
I also will have a Megaminx, Pyraminx and a Skewb, by the competition.
EDIT: I am used to driving up and down the east coast of Australia, at the end of year and half year holidays, I drive down there to where I used to live (Victoria).

I was wondering if you would be selling anything there?

Maybe a Meffert's Megaminx $40 (new) and V-CUBE 6 $expensive (not broken in). Although you could probably order them online
Good point though. It might be worth selling some DIYs to the general public already assembled to get some decent cubes in peoples hands.
Unless Seven Towns sponsors the competition, in which case I'd advocate their brand

Yeah pretty much. You can register on the day.
But without a definite number of competitors it's impossible to justify hosting the event.
We could host it and "hope" that people will come but that's highly risky.

Yeah, I'm kinda scared that we wont get enough competitors for an official comp. We Minimum amount of people is like 12 or something isn't it?

I'd like to get high schools and universities interested >.<
They seem to be more concerned about turning over a profit though

We're pretty much limited to the list of events here (unless the regulations are changed in early 2009 with the addition of more).
We can probably have some novelty events on the side, time permitting, but I don't think the results would be recognised by the WCA.
I'd like to see more events too, but there needs to be a good demand. I suppose, worst comes to worst, we could have the full 17 events plus novelty events with 2-3 different people participating in each event. Has anyone tried a schedule like this before?

Well, it's up to the organisers to decide upon the events. Unofficial events are allowed during comptetitions:
9e4) Other events may be held during a competition, but will be unofficial and therefore not part of the official results of the competition.
and even if the results are not acknowleded by the WCA, they are listed here: http://www.speedcubing.com/results . Some of these events might eventually become official...

In your first competition, you may just want to focus on official events. Don't try to extend yourself too much by having a ton of events. You especially don't want to bump an official events due to time constraints because of holding unofficial events.
