It would be a shame if Feliks "Couldn't show up".

Sounds good,
Is skewb offical now?

It's not official yet, but hopefully will be. If not, it will still be held unofficially, as there is interest.

Good luck to you Tim for sponsoring the competition. I'm excited to have a competition organized in Denver sometime soon

This comp is taking a while to get on to the WCA website.....

This comp is taking a while to get on to the WCA website.....

My thoughts exactly.
Still pissed off about no 5x5.

 

[RCTACameron]

I've registered. Why is square-1 in the prizes?
Anyway, I need to finish learning EG-1.

I've registered. Why is square-1 in the prizes?

Because Square-1 is an event, thanks for the catch. (1 round of square-1)

This comp is taking a while to get on to the WCA website.....

Tim wants to finish off the site's capability to host multiple Australian competitions, and a few other things first. It's almost 2 months away anyway, as long as people know (the point of this thread), then that's fine for now.

Still pissed off about no 5x5.

Sorry, I've told you the story to this, I'll probably do this again next year, and it should have 5x5. I wanted to give prizes for all events, and I didn't want to support KOs, but I couldn't get decent shipping prices, it was ending up costing more single sale.

I'm thinking about a raffle, maybe $1 per ticket, or something on the sort, I'm thinking about $50 worth. What do you guys suggest?

@Tim Major: Dont worry I get it.

Hey everyone.
Just posting to ask, and this question is for everyone. I have to admit, we didn't anticipate 40 people when writing the original schedule. We were expecting to have free time left over. We need help (specifically runners and judges) for this competition to run smoothly. It's fun to be part of the team, and for me at least, it helped settle nerves back at my first competition. If we only have 5 people, scrambling, running and judging, we will have to remove a round or event. It's not hard to take the cubes back and forth from the scrambling table and the stations. Learning to judge is also very simple, and you don't need to know all the regulations, a basic understanding is enough, and you can just ask for help.
Please help, it's fun, easy, and necessary for the competition to run smoothly. Hope to see you all there,
Tim.

I'll be happy to help judge/run. I'm just going to be there slightly late and leave earlier.

I can help, and I'll probably get there fairly early and stay the whole day.
