Bristol Open 2009

Okay I'm working out the schedule right now. I don't think there will be extremely high numbers of competitors (unless you guys surprise me ;) ) so we have time for some finals in events you might not expect. I also expect that the 3x3 final will include practically everybody in attendance like at UK Masters LOL.

I am the nervous sort and am stressing about covering venue hire cost (incase you didn't get that!) so if you plan to register and are just being a bit slow about it pleeeeeeeease do it asap so I can sleep easy? :)

Psst, two rounds of square-1 and 2x2 please :p

I need to sort out accommodation... *goes off to find Rowan*

Oh god, if you are staying with Rowan that means you are staying here.

I have absolutely not idea what the count is at now, but I'm going to adopt the AVG approach "what's wrong with a few more if you've already got 12?"

Me, Kris, Lars, Arnaud (plus anyone that comes in his car also I suppose?), Rowan, Jude, Michael (maybe), Patrick, Adam, Grace, Olivér, Bence and I think I've forgotten some people. I've lost the plot.
 
Okay sorry double post, been doing that a lot lately, here is the schedule (yes I just print screened from word because I'm lazy)

Saturday

Sunday

Reasons for some decisions:

The main events are spread over two days because I like it that way, no other reason. I just hate doing 3 4 5 in a row.

4x4 is on Sunday for Robby Yau (affectionately named)
2 magic rounds for Adam and Olivér
2 pyraminx rounds for some person called Charlie
2 2x2 rounds because everyone loves it...
2 square-1 rounds for Simon(Joris) and Lars
Loads of BLD attempts for Joey but still 2 for Michael!

I expect that there will be flexibility with the time, but I don't know until more competitors sign up. If you have strong objections/praise, send it my way soon - this is only provisional.

Ok so hopefully, we'll break loads of records at Bristol :)

@Charlie: Oh my gigaminx! (<--lol) I just found out that on that Saturday, school finishes at 12:00, so I could easily arrive at Bristol at about 14:30 and in time for OH and 5x5x5. I can make it to both days! I just need to talk to my parents and find a place to stay on Saturday.

This time, I think I'm gonna compete in pyraminx for fun :)

I'm very small, and could sleep in a cupboard if you needed me to :p

Charlie, you're a star on the square-1 front :)

Also, Simon(Joris)?

That's the dutch guy who looks just like you ;) It's your name now, sorry.

Okay if you were planning to stay with Rowan and Jude I guess you can stay too. Bring a sleeping bag and something to sleep on because my floor is wood everywhere and I think the people coming with baggage restrictions will take the sofas first ;) Be prepared to be like a sardine. Also bring towels and stuff because I don't have enough for everybody :P
 
I hadn't had chance to discuss accommodation arrangements with anyone yet, 'cause I'd been on holiday all last week. But it would be great if I could stay at your place, if that's OK :)

Now I need to sort out travel...

I'm gonna have to work hard to stand a hope of getting an avg for 5.
Ah - you can't beat a bit of 7x7 on a sunday morning - sets you up for the day.

I will be coming, Charlie, I will pay you Sat if thats okay?

I know, 7x7 is a bit of a bore sometimes if you aren't in the mood. That'll get everybody chirpy in no time ;)

Yeah that's fine, I will bring a sheet of paper and some kind of envelope with "Bristol Open" written on it so that I feel like I'm doing it properly rather than remembering what everyone has told me in my head and putting their money into a different pocket from the "general spending" pocket. REgister via email now though, that's fineee :)
