Melbourne Cube Day 2013

[Faz]

Harsh cut-offs?

Yeah and less rounds. Surely we're not doing multi, bigbld and fmc like it says on the WCA?'

It's hard enough to fit in 2-7, oh and bld as it is.

i was doing multi
and 4bld

 

[Faz]

Maybe during lunch? (Have a look at the schedule, there's no room)

 

[Logical101]

Aghh The cut off for Oh and 5x5 is so harsh, i have to give up 5x5

 

[RCTACameron]

Obviously, with 66 competitors, this could be a bit of a nightmare. I think if the schedule seems unachievable, it would definitely be reasonable to shorten lunch to half an hour, which is easily enough to walk to food. And, like at Melbourne Spring, having 7x7 after lunch will mean everyone but those 7 competitors would have a longer lunch. With only 7 competitors, staffing shouldn't be a problem for 7x7, I'm sure plenty of people would be happy to come back from lunch early.

 

[TimMc]

I think if the schedule seems unachievable

Yeah, I'm going to revise it either tonight or tomorrow.

Keep practicing! We won't always have such harsh cut-offs. I should've limited the number of competitors to 40. With 60+ competitors, 8 stations, 8 events (14 rounds), and 9 hours it's going to be a bit full on.

So you listen to him when he suggests it?????

 

[andojay]

Thats probably cause we are all asking...
Perhaps 3 groups of 3x3?
Should we get more boxes ? (I think I originally bought 10 or so...)

 

[Tim Major]

65->30->12 for 3x3 imo. Just have less people go through to each round than they normally would, and have harsh cutoffs for all events.

 

[TimMc]

Can you get more? Not sure where they're from.

We have a bunch of popcorn boxes, courtesy of Cameron.

Keep 6x6 or 7x7?

Tim.

 

[Faz]

Good idea to drop one of those. Keep whichever one you like.

[Tim Major]

2 minute hard on 555 again

Why not 2 min soft? 2 min hard on 444 = easy for most. 2 min hard on 555 = hard for most. Also the fact that you could get 1:50, 2:01, 1:55, 2:10 1:50 = DNF like Melbourne spring is kinda dumb.

 

[Faz]

Yeah maybe 3min hard to be fair.

 

[TimMc]

5x5 2min cut-off, 3min hard.

Sorry, just prepared scorecards and certificates etc....

Tim.

 

[Logical101]

isnt the oh hard a little too harsh, maybe put 30 seconds on that?

Also why not do partially simaltainius rounds
