Melbourne Summer Open 2010

[Zane_C]

Yeah, an hour seems fairly short to get everyone through. Unless everyone is fairly fast.

 

[Faz]

Well at NZ most of the people were ~ 1 min. I think an hour should be enough. However, Tim put breaks in between some events, so that if we are running behind schedule, we can just go into the breaks.

I'm sick- NOOO
I hope i recover before the comp. If not then I'm gonna wear a filter mask

 

[Zane_C]

You'll be fine.

 

[The Second Cuber]

This is awesome...
The heralding of a new beginning for Australian cubers!
Sadly I can't go ....
But hey, one could lead to another.
And maye by that time I'll be back to sub 20's for the 3x3, and maybe sub 1-mins for the 4x4.

Question: Is there going to be an audience? My family and some cousins want to come for some reason. Lemme know if it's ok

I heard somewhere on this thread that you could I think.

Well, it's in a theatre, so I'm guessing yes. Tim made it sound as though there were a lot of seats.

 

[Faz]

It's not in a theatre.

 

[Tim Major]

It's not in a theatre.

Isn't it in Kalido Theatre, or whatever that theatre was called we went to, when Tim showed the location? Has it been changed to a different room? Or was it just near that theatre?

 

[Faz]

University Function Room (8.02.08)

Directions:
Look for the Commonwealth Bank or the Kaleide Theatre, walk down the stairs and continue through the sliding doors to your left.

 

[Zane_C]

Well, I think it's not a very welcoming competition if there is no audience.

 

[Faz]

Of course there will be plenty of room for an audience. (pretty sure)

 

[TimMc]

Yeah, there's heaps of room for an audience. The seats are all stacked up against the wall at the moment.

We probably have enough competitors at the moment. Another 10 or so would be fine, but 40-50 would have to be the limit or we wont get through everyone.

More spectators are always welcome! About 15-30 people on the Facebook event are probably going to be spectators.

Tim.

 

[Zane_C]

I imagine there will be plenty of seats, because I prefer cubing sitting down.

 

[Dene]

Naturally there will be the option to sit or stand when solving. If there isn't, Tim better find some chairs quick

 

[Zane_C]

Another thing, just out of curiousity. After the competitor has inspected the puzzle and places it back onto the table, is it going to be covered again for a second? I've seen it sometimes be covered again, then sometimes it hasn't.

 

[Faz]

No, those were the old regulations. The competitor starts the solve when they are ready, by themselves.

@Dene: I'm told that there are stacks of chairs and tables in the room.

Sitting for redux, standing for 3x3 ftw!

Thanks, because I've been doing some solves where I close my eyes for a second or so before I start.

Will you have enough time to stand up? You only have like a 10 second frame.
