Melbourne Big Cubes Open 2012

[TimMc]

i have been working on the dates of when Melbourne Big cube open will be on and i'm tossing up between before or after Sydney. Also about 2x2 and bld i think i'll make another comp 6 or 7 weeks after Melbourne Big Cube Day for Bld, 2x2 and other events. It may look something like this:

A bit of spacing around the Sydney competition would make it easier to promote.

MultiBld - ?

^^^Events may be dropped and/or added

Still the main points of these comps is like a little filler in between the main Melbourne Comps such as Summer winter opens.

Call it something like Melbourne BLD Day or something, since there are lot a bld events.

You'd want to drop the 4-7 events if it's going to be a blindfolded competition... I can't help but think that you like blindfolded...

It think we should just choose the events 3x3-7x7 and we can decide how many rounds we want to have, when enough people registerd, still 3 rounds of 5x5 is awesome

He went to Auckland this morning... back tonight...

[Dene]

Yes indeed. Bloody refs did another job on us. So many inconsistent calls on the two-on-one strip rule. It was really good to get over there to go to the game though. I plan on heading over that way for several more games throughout the season too. So much better than watching on tv.
