Melbourne Cube Day 2010

[Tim Major]

And 2x2 should run faster than 30minutes (first round)
27 people. Lets say, 15s. 5 x 15 = 1 minute. 1 minute per cometitor, so 27 minutes. However, many competitors will be sub 10, some sub 7, sub 6, so on. Some events we can regain time.
FMC and Multi are both mentally draining events, I think it'd be better just to have 6x6 and 7x7 paired up with FMC, or do as Dene says, and pick between events.
I propose on your schedule, that FMC and 6x6 and 7x7 swap, so that FMC is the first event, and possibly to have rego run throughout FMC? That way people can not turn up until near the end of FMC, register, and continue with the rest of the schedule, because lets be honest, FMC is one of the most boring spectator events, so this way people don't need to be there for it.

Edit:
Registration 9:00 10:30
FMC 9:30 10:30
2x2 10:30 11:00
3x3 11:00 11:45
4x4 11:45 12:30
6x6 12:30 1:00
7x7 1:00 1:30
MultiBLD 1:30 2:00
Lunch 1:30 2:00
OH 2:00 2:30
BLD 2:30 3:00
3x3 3:00 3:20
5x5 3:20 4:00
2x2 4:00 4:15
4x4 4:15 4:30
OH 4:30 4:45
3x3 4:45 5:00

This gives more time I think, (you could move everything back 30 minutes, and then the comp would end at 4:30). However, we don't neccesarily need to end at 4:30, so we have 30 extra minutes for interruptions and stuff (4bld best of 2 for example)

 

[Faz]

MBLD is 1 hour, not half an hour.

 

[Tim Major]

Then move every event before Multi back 30 minutes. People competing in FMC have to arrive early lol.

 

[pappas]

Can anybody lend me a 6x6 just for the day? Also TimMc I can sub 5 min easy for 6x6.

 

[RCTACameron]

I think having FMC at the start while registration is happening would be good. I guess arriving at 8:30 would be okay.

 

[KboyForeverB]

of course, how could I forget Major, 4x4 is the only puzzle im consistently good at, also, DP takes around 7seconds for me

Ok firstly we are having two groups for 6 and 7 because only me and Faz can scramble and I need to use Faz's 6x6.

Secondly:

Registration 9:00 9:30
multi 9:00 10:00
6x6 9:30 10:00
7x7 10:00 10:30
2x2 10:30 11:00
3x3 11:00 11:45
4x4 11:45 12:30
Lunch 12:30 1:30
FMC 1:00 2:00
OH 2:00 2:30
BLD 2:30 3:00
3x3 3:00 3:20
5x5 3:20 4:00
2x2 4:00 4:15
4x4 4:15 4:30
OH 4:30 4:45
3x3 4:45 5:00

multi starts straight away, if you want to do 6x6 you have to finish in 30 mins which I don't see being a problem for anyone doing both events.

FMC starts halfway through lunch but everyone still has 30mins off.


And for sorting out all your crap I still want a second round of 5x5 ktnx.

 

[Tim Major]

Dene's works^
I vote for this^
Arnuad will prolly try 3, so he'll be fine (unless he decides on 1 more, which might happen)
Only problem is Faz, who's trying 7+. Faz is slow at multi, so I guess you could do Faz's 6x6 during FMC?

 

[Faz]

Yeah, I'll be trying 7, which will take about 45 minutes.

 

[Dene]

That's alright me and Faz won't take long for 6x6 we can work around it.

 

[Faz]

I can probably start my multi earlier if you want.

 

[TimMc]

It'll pretty much be Dene's schedule. I put the times in an my spreadsheet approves it :-D

Please note that the doors will unlock at 9am and lock at 6pm... >.<

Tim.

 

[Faz]

Well, if we can only start setting up at 9, then I still think we should use Dene's schedule, but just make it half an hour later

Registration 9:00 9:30
multi 9:15 10:15
6x6 10:00 10:30
7x7 10:30 11:00
2x2 11:00 11:30
3x3 11:30 12:15
4x4 12:15 1:00
Lunch 1:00 2:00
FMC 1:30 2:30
OH 2:00 2:45 (Start OH R1 while FMC is on - Most won't take the whole hour, probably 30 mins for FMC)
BLD 2:45 3:15
3x3 3:15 3:40
5x5 3:40 4:20
2x2 4:20 4:35
4x4 4:35 4:50
OH 4:50 5:05
3x3 5:05 5:20

Plenty of time to pack up

If it seems we're running smoothly, and are ahead of schedule, there might be time for a 5x5 final for Dene, but put that in before 3x3

I just bought one of those wifi modem things today that will allow up to five connections (within about 15 metres i think). Given that it is prepaid its probably not for all day surfing but if anyone wants to access these forums or do any other shortish internet stuff during saturdays comp then just come and see me. All you need is a device with wifi that supports wpa security.

 

[AnthonyH]

I'm gonna do so s** tomorrow :fp
I ceebed going school today and I didn't do anything active. When I don't do anything active I usually sleep at 2am or so... ><

 

[David Zemdegs]
