Melbourne Summer Open 2010

[Zane_C]

I'm there

 

[Dene]

Ah good. I was about to say no to December 30th, but there are no problems with January 30th.

 

[pappas]

faz, how do I make my Eastsheen 2x2 as sexxy as yours??

Use it lots. I'm happy about the 30th of Jan and should be there.

 

[Tim Major]

30 Jan sounds good. School starts on Feb 1 though, so I'll probably be doing last minute homework. (yep, our teachers give us homework over the Christmas holidays)

And lucky Stkevs boys, I don't finish until the 18th or something.

Yea
Catholic school finish 2 weeks earlier and start 1 day later than other schools I think.

January 30th is good for me as well. I might take a heap of transport to go to the venue, but it'll probably be worth it.
Someone please guide me through transport?

Thanks

 

[Faz]

Erm, you probably won't need to catch that much transport.

Just catch a train to flinders street or something, then catch the frankston, pakenham or cranbourne line about 6 stops to malvern

For the newer cubers, anyone want to buy a stackmat timer?

 

[RainbowBoy]

Question:
How long do you estimate this comp to go for?

 

[Faz]

Well, I am working on a rough schedule.

Matt says we can have the church for whatever hours we want.

We are planning to have it from about 9:30 am - 5/6 pm

Speed Stacks Australia (near Melbourne) have them for $33.95

He's selling. Only problem is his is first gen.
ANd shipping is expensive from there.

Anh is selling first gen???

I'd assume Speed Stacks is selling regular Competition Timers with data-port/memory. Shipping was about AU$7 for a 500g express post parcel last time I checked. It's cheaper that from the US or NZ *shrug*

Hmm... Postage for me was $10. I guess it's gone down. I ordered a clock.

And faz, what if I don't lend it to you. Win.

Where did you order your clock?

 

[Inf3rn0]

Ive been looking into it and i might be able to go. Can't decide whether or not to though. Figure i might aswell.

Anyway, anyway.
There is public transport to the venue by the sounds of it??

There's a tram that goes straight past the venue from the CBD. There's also a train that stop nearby. I'll get a map up and whatnot shortly...

[Faz]

Ok, news.

We can get 2 displays only for free, so that is covered.
We will probably use 4 stackmats, 2 with displays, and 2 without.
2 stackmats with displays will be used for the finals of events.

Drinks and snacks will be covered by the registration fee. It will be pay at the venue. I estimate it to be about 10-20 dollars per competitor, depending on whether we can get some sponsorship.

According to Matt, the venue will cost about 160 for the day, with public liability insurance.

We have nothing lined up for prizes, and we are uncertain as to what will happen with this.

Events on the day will be.

All official events bar master magic, 5x5 bld, and FMC unless requested, and if time permits.

Multiple side events will be held at any one time.

Finals will be held for 2x2, 3x3 and possibly pyraminx, as these seem to be the most popular events in melbourne.

 

[Tim Major]

FMC unless requested, and if time permits.

I've been practising a bit, and I learnt Heise. Nah, I'm not really serious, as you already gave me clock. Sure, if there's an hour or so left, with no more events, then maybe, as you don't really need judges, but nah.

I can't wait for my clock to come.
