At this stage its a maybe for me.

 

[Thomas09]

Cool! Might be going to this one.

 

[RainbowBoy]

10th of July or maybe some other date.
Though I clicked the wrong one :S

 

[edw0010]

3rd or 4th would be preffered but 10th and 11th is possible also As always if I can lend a hand Tim, let me know

 

[Tim Major]

Right near the start of the holidays would be good for me, because we're going to Papua New Guinea. I know you're not going to schedule around me, but... and two day comp? AWESOME! And Rubik's Clock down as a confirmed event so far? Mega awesome. I so wanna come to this. I don't want another DNF average in clock again. If I'm coming, I can't wait....

Edit: ^^^ same. I'll help with everything you need me to. Now come on people in other countries, doesn't this seem a little tempting. And you can even see "koala bears" and "kangaroos" Plus, NZ comp may be on a similar date, so you could go to both.

Edit2: I see you've lowered the cuttoff's. Imagine if we had 1:00 cutoff on square-1 this comp. Only 2 qualified.

 

[Faz]

Definitely July holidays IMO.

3rd and 4th I voted for, don't want to have a comp right before everyone goes back to school/work. >_>

2 days will be epic, and lots of rounds

I never said I was going to beat you. Now hurry up and buy a clock and get sub 15! (read my signature )

And good schedule Tim, allows people only competing in 2x2 and 3x3 to just come on the second day.

 

[edw0010]

See what happens Tim (ZB), if I dont get one I wont be able to compete going by the cut off times Tim(Mc) has!

 

[TimMc]

I see you've lowered the cuttoff's. Imagine if we had 1:00 cutoff on square-1 this comp. Only 2 qualified.

When is the start of the school holidays? Last time I checked, I selected 3rd and 4th of July which was dead in the middle, but this is just Victoria. It'd be different from state to state, and some private/catholic schools might have different holiday periods.

I just looked at the top 100 averages in the world and rounded up for the cutoffs. In some events I added a few more minutes to encourage more competitors, but the cutoffs can be changed... this is just a rough proposal.

There's only 3 events on the second day so far because I anticipate that we might have a few more competitors than last time. We didn't do much advertising for the past competition, so with another 4 months to go we could easily get 50 competitors for the 3x3 event.

Tim.

Tim.

Yeah I know. And this time, Dene shall do his average
But 3 minutes for 3x3bld? Though they get 1 attempt in that right?

 

[Thomas09]

I really don't mid the date. Just can't be July 6 or 7.

Guys your forgetting about me.
I'm gonna beat you in clock this time David. And gonna stay focused on when they announce the event this time

 

[Dene]

Sounds good to me. However I would recommend any event with a finals being on the first day. That way people can be done with if they will only get to the first round, and if they get to the finals they have to stay and make it look busier

 

[Todd]

Provided I am not say, dead, in jail, working etc... I will go to this one!

I voted July 3rd / 4th.

I have just picked up the cube again and have committed myself to learning the rest of OLL and shaving some time off my average...and well I have nothing else to do

 

[Thomas09]

I have started a training routine for this:
1 7x7 solve
2 6x6 solves
3 5x5 solves
5 4x4 solves
5/ 12 3x3 solves
12 2x2 solves

I also have to learn Sq 1 Parity Fix and learn some algorithms for pyra.

Not everybody is some natural sub 10 wonder kid with the cube

TBH I dont know how you guys can do so many cubes. I have 2x2,3x3 and 4x4 and I struggle with that!
