[Ton]

What kind of events you like to see on a first Indonesian Open 2009?

Registration is active

See Indonesian Open Site

 

[VirKill]

feetsolving, multi blindfolded (or one hour multi), one handed, 4x4x4 BLD, and....humm...Square 1?

feetsolving, multi blindfolded (or one hour multi), one handed, 4x4x4 BLD, and....humm...Square 1?

Feetsolving , are you sure?
Multi blindfold , might not fit in the schedule
OH , Yes
4x4x4 Bld ,no
Square 1,no

My proposal

3x3 (3 rounds)
4x4
5x5
3x3 OH
3x3 Blindfold

This will need a schulde from 8:30 until 17:00

So there is not much room...since I expect 70+ competitors


Side events/parallel event (Square1 , magic , 2x2 , 4x4 Bld) is only possible I can arrange more timers and people judging/scrambling it....

Finally Indonesia Open 2009
Do we have only 1 day for the competition Ton? The schedule will be very tight..
As I am in Indonesia, I will do whatever I can to help the competition
I see updates in WCA regulation, that stated, all competitor should be ready for scrambling and judging, this might help the organizer I think, as more people should be able to help scrambling and judging. We might just need a little direction or guidelines to do that, as most of us probably never been in official WCA competition.
Looking to buy timer for personal use, maybe can be used for this competition also, if still don't have enough.

I am assuming the entire MARATON family will come (MAria, RAma, TON) and I will be there as well. We will help to make the competition run as smoothly as possible. That does indeed mean that something like this would happen:
3x3x3: 60 competitors, 3 groups of 20 people, 8 timers.
Group 1 is solving, Group 2 is scrambling/judging, Group 3 is watching/applauding/goofing-around
Then
Group 2 is solving, Group 3 is scrambling/judging, Group 1 is watching/applauding/goofing-around
Then
Group 3 is solving, Group 1 is scrambling/judging, Group 2 is watching/applauding/goofing-around

I would like to do at least:
2x2x2
3x3x3
4x4x4
5x5x5
3x3x3_oh
3x3x3_bf

And just for fun 3x3x3_teamsolve during lunch or after the competition

The idea is also to show how to do a competition , so there will be time to instruct people to judge and scramble, Maria will also train people the days before the competition. We will arrange the timers, we bring two tournament displays and stackpods, and maybe we can bring some extra timers for the cubers.

For a 1 day, events like 2x2x2 and other events can only be side events, and this will be challenging to organize

Lets stick to 1 day as it will be a first competition

 

[ddcrow]

3x3x3
4x4x4
5x5x5

3x3x3 one hand
3x3x3 bld

I think thats it, other puzzle like rubik magic are not so popular here

here is indonesian rubik community site http://rubikku.ning.com

What is your best estimate how many will come?

 

[ddcrow]

We still colecting the data about how many cubers will join that event....
I hope it will be more than 50 cuber, since there are more than 500 cuber in Indonesia so far, but not all of them are from Jakarta...

We will tell you the result as soon as possible

Yep, I will need it, if more than 70 will register it will one of the biggest first competitions, I have to think about if we can do qualification rounds if this is the case.

We will arrange the timers, we bring two tournament displays and stackpods, and maybe we can bring some extra timers for the cubers.

That's really good, we can learn a lot from you all about organizing competition of WCA/International Level. Thanks for coming and sharing Ton, really appreciate that
We are creating a thread in our forum now ( http://rubikku.ning.com ), to see the response of some of Indonesian Cubers about Indonesia Open 2009, also the event they would like to compete on. Will keep you posted.

Btw The event was initiated by Maria, we both organize the competition
After this event I will propose WCA delegate's to the WCA board, so that the Indonesian cubers can start official competition on there own.

Yes, I recall when she first mention her plan early January in an Indonesian forum. Thanks to both of you (and Rama too)
Will be very nice to have a WCA delegate on our own country, at least will be easier for future competition. Let's make the first a success first. We will try to help whatever we can.

So far we have 21 cuber who will join Indonesian Open 2009, and the number are still growing, we will tell every update we have to you ASAP..

 

[ddcrow]

Oh ya... Just to tell you, In Indonesia we have only 2 stackmat and 2 display

 

[AvGalen]

Oh ya... Just to tell you, In Indonesia we have only 2 stackmat and 2 display

That is enough for 20 competitors, but not for 70. I guess Maria, Rama, Ton and me will bring stackmats anyway so we might use those. We could bring Stackpods as well.

With 70 competitors, we would need 8 timers to keep things running smoothly, especially when most people are not sub 20

I think you will be surprised by the level of the Indonesian cubers.....they are very motivated and .... also have 6 months to surprise you even more

This is one reason why I like to add multiple blindfold as parallel event with 5x5 cube

So do not be surprised if they will do 15 sec average or less, or do a 15/15 multi blindfold

 

[CharlieCooper]

if you guys are putting in so much effort, which it really seems that you are... wouldn't you want to make the most of the opportunity to make it a two day event? i know it's a lot more work for you (i would help if i could afford to come!) but do you not think it will be worth it? especially if you are showing some events that not all the cubers will know about, it will help get people excited about cubing in general. what do you think?

i think it's brilliant that maria is going to tell people how to run a competition. really great

A 15/15 multi blind under the new rules (60 minutes) WOULD really surprise me. Several sub 15 cubers wouldn't (I got used to the sub-15 level ages ago ) but as you know 10 people that require 60 seconds have more impact than 10 people that only require 15 seconds.

I already accepted that it would be a 1 day only event, but naturally I would prefer a 2 day event (actually, a 7 day event sounds )
