Is there any confirmation on the "maybes"? I'll add you to the list if so

Then again, you can still come along on the day without saying here >.<

Hahahah
Well my Saturday looks clean so I can safely say 99.9% I will be able to come.
And if I come I guarantee a 100% chance that I will play 333 .

[Tim Major]

edit: I'm Tim, unfortunately, i cant say my full name online, so if you want to call me something else cause your also tim, ill be Timme (pretend there's an accent on the e like timmeh!)

Fair enough, for meetups and unofficial comps it's fine to remain anonymous (especially if U18). But official comps will require Firstname/Lastname for the results to recognised by the WCA later on.

Tim.

yes, but they'll let me have my full name, but im not aloud to have youtube, so i cant have my full name here of my mum will find out i have youtube.

Lol ZB ftw

I doubt you are Australia's no.1 unofficial pyramninxer. Sorry to break it to ya.
I got my pyra about 5 days ago btw.

Hope to see ya there!!! Btw, go in as many events as u want.

im theaccidentalfreak on youtube. i can solve the pyraminx in 14-15 average(i have massive ranges with each solve, some sub 10, then an over 17), and my single best is just under 8 secs(ipod timer).

is there any prizes at this comp?

 

[pappas]

Sorry to tell you but feliks has got better at pyra and i think he averages between 10-15 or so seconds sorry if I'm wrong feliks. And I know he has got 6 second solves before.

 

[TimMc]

is there any prizes at this comp?

The unofficial comp this weekend wont really have any prizes. We'd have to do a pre-registration with something more than a $2 entry-fee if we wanted to have prizes without a sponsor.

We've done it in the past, but there's no prizes for guessing who they went to and are likely to go to in the future. If interest picks up, then sure, we could have 1st/2nd/3rd for each event. I.e. stickers/tiles/DIYs

[Faz]

YAYAYAYAYAY!

Also, Tim - confirm with paul michael and ninja.

EDIT: Yeah Timmie - I average about 10 seconds for pyra.

 

[Faz]

Rough schedule: Btw guys, I won't be there until 11 or so, so Tim and Matt will get the competition up and running, with 3x3 bld, and 3x3 first round as the first events.

If you are there at about 9:30 - feel free to set up with Matt, as I'm pretty sure he'll be there at 9.

Btw, in the previous 2 competitions, there have been many latecomers/no shows, so don't feel stressed if the competition hasn't started by 10:30, but I'm pretty sure Tim will get the show on the road.


Below is a rough schedule, note that some events will take longer/shorter.

At lunch, there are a variety of shops on glenferrie road, so bring some money to have lunch.


9:30 – 10:00 - Registration/setup

10:00 – 10:30 - 3x3 bld

10:30 – 11:30 (Probs much quicker) – 3x3 first round

11:30 – 12 – 2x2

12 – 12:30 – 5x5/magic

12: 30 – 12:45 – Pyraminx

12:45 – 1:15 – lunch

1:15 – 1:30 – Sq1

1:30 – 2:00 – 4x4

2:00 – 2:30 – OH

2:30 – 3:00 – 3x3 finals

3:00 onwards – extra events/cubing + stuff

3:45 – announcements

4:00 - finished

 

[Kiongku]

That looks cool, I guess I will be a spectator or maybe can help run or something from 11:30 onwards P

 

[Faz]

Kiongku - you can compete in 3x3 at any time if you feel like it - we can easily sort it out.

 

[Kiongku]

Nah, from your schedule most 3x3 activities end around 11:30 and I doubt I'll be in the finals So I'll be glad to walk and help around XD

 

[Faz]

Yeah cool, but still compete.

 

[boredommm23]

Hey Feliks (roughly) how many people will be in 3x3 round one and top how many go into the final?

 

[Tim Major]

YAYAYAYAYAY!

Also, Tim - confirm with paul michael and ninja.

EDIT: Yeah Timmie - I average about 10 seconds for pyra.

grrr... i was going to challenge you on youtube, coz i thought it was something id beat you at. stop practising pyra. focis on other puzzles, so i can officially be australia's best pyraminxer in december.

please explain wat method you use, eg face first, tip first, variations like unpermuted face, or whatever

hope this post works, because lots have been not working, on some really long posts and others, which is really annoying

edit: now my signature is wrong.

 

[Kiongku]

Yeah cool, but still compete.

Oh I will no worries I need to see how much my hands will tremble trying to beat my personal record...

 

[TimMc]

3x3 Round 1 ~ 11
3x3 Final ~ 4

Unless we want 8

Tim.
