Czech Open 2009

[Ton]

Please note that the university accommodation is cheap, but if you like a clean place to sleep, this is probably not a good choice

 

[Sebastien]

The time schedule is a bit weird. There are so many odd finishing times

Also there are no formats (Average of 5 etc.).

And what exactly does # comp mean. If I get it right it is the limit for competitors for each event. Do you really mean that only 25 people can do 3x3 BLD or only 35 can do 4x4?

Btw, there is 1 real mistake (I think you wanted to start 5x5 BLD at 9:30 as well as 4x4 BLD)

the odd times are the calculated estimated time based on the # expected number of competitors, it is not a maximum

I will add the format , 4x4 Bld and 5x5 Bld can start at the same time , both best of 2

Another weird thing: the format for FMC being a combined final.
What does it mean, if after say 20 minutes you haven't found a decent solution yet then you must stop ?

Well it was 23:45 when I post it and I started at 4:45 to bring Bredan to schiphol, so I forgive my self since important was that we can start registration

next time I will call you at 0:00 to review the site before posting

no offense, he just wants to help.

Another mistake that I see now is "Combined Final" at the first One-Handed round.

Anyway: Great timeschedule. I really hope that my plan will work so that I can make it there.

It is help full , but email feedback is more appropriate

What's the "Accommodation request" field in the CZECH OPEN Registration form? Do I enter when I arrive/leave and they will organize something for me? And is that what we cubers ought to do? If so, shall I enter my choice of hotel as well? Where will most cubers be staying?

 

[Bryan]

What's the "Accommodation request" field in the CZECH OPEN Registration form?

I'm pretty sure Arnaud put "Attractive female".

since competitions become very big to organize I propose to train people in pairs that will manage an event with my guidance

e.g
Rama & Joel will arrange 4x4 Bld
or Anround & Erik will arrange FM

etc
Do you like this challenge you can mail me

This why you have some experience in organizing a competition and maybe next time I can train you all I do from the start of a competition

 

[Ton]

Schedule update 4x4 limit is now best of 2 <1:20

 

[SimonWestlund]

How many people will go to the semi finals and finals in 3x3?

 

[TMOY]

I guess the "32" and "12" I see on the schedule are the answer to your question...

I'd be glad to help you with FMC Ton

 

[Rama]

I can also insert times into the computer all weekend long.

I don't really get what you mean with "organizing" Ton. If you mean that such a group would print out the scrambles and scoresheets, prepare the excel sheet etc., this would be a huge chaos. But if not, what remains beside calling the competitors ?


Beside that, I'm confused with alle the possible places for accomodation. Does anyone know where most of the competitors will stay?

Previous year most of us where
University of Pardubice hostel ** garni
University of Pardubice dormitory * garni

I you care about some hygiene I would not recommend "University of Pardubice dormitory" The Hostel is oke , but you need 2 to 3 room mates

 

[Slash]

What is the name of the railway station? I want to find a train but if I find for Pradubice, it gives me "Praha Holesovice" as arriving station. Is that the right? It's very imoprtant cause I want to count the travel payments.

 

[spdcbr]

I've always hoped to go to a real comp...too bad...
