Lucky, There never is a period of comfortable amount of homework at My school, I'm being loaded up with all these stupid things. *Sigh* I have to go back to school tommorow, and there's Anzac Day Assembly, which we stuffed up last year. Someone clapped after the last post was played :rolleyes:.
Venue Hmmmmm.... Maybe a school, or Toys R Us usually gives you a tiny bit of space. Enough for 3 solving station at minimum.
@Leviticus, my current cost bl**** $20,000 AUD a year, Sound like enough cubes??

Agriculture? Boooooooooooooooring.
As for homework, who cares about it? Honestly, if you want to go to University, you'll find that things run completely differently to how they do at school. Just tell your teachers that you'r rather not

Melbourne vs Sydney
Venue?
A university would be an ideal place to hold the event. But you'd want to ensure that the general public is allowed to attend it, i.e. not limited to students.
When?
Holding it during the following months would mostly likely avoid clashes with high school and university exams:
- March
- April
- August
- September
The weekend should be the most suitable time too. Particularly Saturday afternoon as this would allow people to travel interstate easily, as apposed to trying to make it on a weekday night after school or work et cetera.
Sponsor?
- The venue owner
- Crown & Andrew
- Local puzzle shops

Just some thoughts

Not at all, the delegate only has to attend.

If you're looking for ideas about venues and dates, then what about tying it in with other (somewhat) similar events that happen in Australia. One example that I tend to be reasonably heavily involved in is Juggling Conventions. There are a lot of jugglers who also cube, so I'm sure there'd be interest there. Also, both of the Australian juggling conventions are always looking for new events to get involved with to encourage a wider audience to see the Australian juggling scene. So far there's been quite a bit of collaborations between the jugglers and unicyclists/twirlers/yo-yo players/kendama players/diaboloists/etc. Plus, you'd already have a venue, audience, and an avenue for promotion without any work.
As for dates - The Sydney Juggling Convention happens each year over the Anzac Day long weekend in January, and for the last few years it's been held in a large school hall in the inner-east. The Melbourne juggling convention only started last year, but it promises to be an annual event, and happens over a weekend (and the prior Friday) in September.
If anyone's interested in setting up something through either of these sources, I'd be very willing to help. I can introduce you to the people that put these events together, and I'd also be willing to help get the event running. As for stackmats and times - I could lend one of them, too.
If anyone's interested - let me know.

The delegate has some responsibilities - you should look in the official rules and read them. If you're a delegate, you're supposed to be intimately familiar with the rules. The responsibilities have increased with the new rules, too. But it is true that the organizer has more work to do than the delegate (you really don't have to do much preparation for the competition, other than knowing the rules), so please don't be scared off by it being too much work or responsibility. Read the rules and see if you're okay with doing everything a delegate is supposed to do. There's really nothing there that should scare you off.
That would be just the coolest cubing competition ever! If you do that, we may have to plan to visit my wife's aunts who live in Australia.
(In honesty, I'm just kidding about that - it will be a while before we can afford five plane tickets to Australia.)Similar threads
