Competition in Australia

[Dene]

I'm still waiting for more information on the competition in New Zealand!! Come on, don't do this to me!!

NZ Comp

ok, sorry guys, been busy and forgot to check back here.
Well firstly, my names Joshua Brungar, im not very fast, 3x3: 43.58, 45.67 avg, havent timed 4x4, 5x5 or minx.
Basicly my cross plus f2l sucks bad (aprox 30secs) so am working on that now, know all pll and 2 look oll + a few more.
I know 5 cubers up here, ones faster than me (pb 22.??, bout 30 avg) others around 1min mark.
At this stage we have a possible venue at University of Waikato,as that is where I and the cubers I know are studying, but of course, this could be changed.
We have not got a delegate yet as we have not set when the comp is. Ron has said to ask delegates if any are willing to travel to nz, or maybe one going on holiday to nz. He also said if jasmine lee is willing to come, they could make her delegate.
Basicly, to have a official comp we need to have at least 12 people there, and find a delegate. If we cant it will have to unofficial.
The date will come down to when all the cubers are free and can be there. Events will also come down to what cubers can/want to do, as with a small
amount of participants, there will be plenty of time to run more different events.
We are looking for sponsors for it to help fund equipment, venue and prizes etc.

lol oh no... im sorry guys but if its in New Zealand, i definately cant go you could consider doing it in australia possibly sydney i mean, we have some fast cubers like leviticus (perth) and joshual li who is coming back in july to sydney. i got a bunch of people from my school who would consider it and ive seen heaps of kids everywhere who are just dying to join. not sure about NZ and the popularity of cubing there though... just consider it

 

[joshuali]

haha if jasmine lee is to become a wca delegate...if would be great if they held the compeition in australia...

 

[ccchips296]

yeah, i agree with joshua. it would be great in australia. even better, sydney

 

[Dene]

Well it appears that this is going to happen at the University of Waikato, so if anyone can get there invite your friends! This is going to be great! (hopefully). And Mr. van Galen, I haven't forgotten my promise to you. But, have you forgotten yours?

 

[Karthik]

I understand your excitement Dene.I went through the same adernaline rush when we finally had our first competition here(Which I had thought would never happen).
Good luck with the competition.

 

[ccchips296]

hmm its seems my negotiating tactics failed oh well... good luck with the competition then dene. im sure one will come to australia eventually. whos going to be the delegate for it?

 

[Dene]

Well it isn't as simple as just "coming to Australia". These guys are hosting it where they live, not in a random foreign place >.< (but I think you do understand that don't you?).

Like he said they're seeing if Jasmine Lee would like to come in which case they could make her a delegate. Personally I'm still hoping Tyson would like to take the time out to come to New Zealand . But really anybody would be awesome! It'll be good to meet other keen enthusiasts! And afterwards I can look into becoming a delegate myself to make things easier.

 

[ccchips296]

lol lol yeah yeah. i knew it would never really happen yeah, i would come, but my parents wont allow it well, joshua li said he might be able to get toysrus to sponser us for a comp..........next year

 

[Dene]

That would be really good. An Australian competition really needs to happen, you guys have a lot of good cubers.

 

[ccchips296]

hmm.... the only ones i know of are leviticus, joshua li, me (i had to say that ) and some people at my school (45sec +). is jasmine lee in australia?

At my school in New Zealand, we have around 10 cubers, most around 1-2min average, myself at 25-30s average. I'm not sure many would be able to go to Waikato though, what about holding the comp in Auckland? There are probably more cubers from other schools too.

 

[*LukeMayn*]

like me!
I think they are almost going to certainly hold it in waikato though.

Yet again, as stated above, the guys are hosting it where they live for the convenience of themselves. It doesn't make sense to host it in unknown territory. Unfortunately, if you want one in Auckland you're going to have to host it yourself. Waikato is just nextdoor to Auckland anyway, it's only a quick drive! At least you don't have to travel across the whole country to get there!

hmm.... the only ones i know of are leviticus, joshua li, me (i had to say that ) and some people at my school (45sec +). is jasmine lee in australia?

Mee too!

There are a bunch of cubers at my school too, partly cause its James Ruse rofl.

But the fastest (after me of course) still hasn't had a sub 20 average.

 

[Dene]

It would be a 5 hour drive up to Picton, then about 7 hours to Waikato I guess.

You got top 1% in the state in the Selective High Schools Exam??? I'd call that more impressive than a sub 3 Gigaminx solve.

Yes Jasmine Lee is in the UKhttp://peter.stillhq.com/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi
Look at the top left hand corner of text

Toys R Us as a sponsor??? That may be a good Idea but i wonder the commitment of a Huge Trans National Corporation to a small sport.

Is anyone aware there is a Parallel thread to this on the WCA Forum??

Ok That's my random bunch of thoughts.
