Melbourne Winter Open 2010

[oprah62]

alright my bad just do your best . whatever the results are they will impress me

 

[kinch2002]

No.

at least 1 of those cmon.

Do you think that predicting WRs helps Faz? I somehow doubt it. The more pressure there is the harder it is to get it right on the day

OKAY OKAY i'm sorry...........

I didn't mean to be harsh btw...just offering friendly advice. I know that you mean well to Faz, but I know from personal experience that if people expect a lot from you then it becomes really difficult (even if you know you're well capable of WRs)

You clearly weren't here earlier in the year.

Well done for noticing my absence I'm not saying that everyone will fail under pressure, but I can't see how it helps at all. If I were him, I'd be extremely frustrated by now of everyone expecting this and that.

Faz, please tell me if you want people to keep asking for WRs

 

[Faz]

It doesn't really bother me, except when people expect me to get the world record, that's kinda annoying.

I feel way less pressured than last time. Still a month to go until the competition anyway, and I'm going to be away for 10 days from next Tuesday, but then I'll practice alot.

Apparently Nakajima isn't the only one with crazy fanboys. Faz, video for sure regardless of what happens, as I and (probably) others enjoy watching your solving style. Luck to all.

I will probably film the whole event ( or as much as possible ) with my new HD Camera, so I'll post like probably 3 or 4 part videos on here after the day.

I have too much I wanna do before the comp, but not enough time :s
I should learn; the rest of OLL, the rest of Polish V, a few more sq1 algs, and CLL. I prolly won't get any of this done
Oh well, on the bright side, 23 days to go

Hey chumps...

Was just about to sign up but thought I should check the regulations incase there was something like you have to be this tall or have to stand on one foot, hop and sing the alphabet backwards...

I noticed that there is a rule that your cube must have 1 tile in the centre piece on any side that has a logo....

None of my cubes have logos

Where can I get some tiles?

 

[aronpm]

You don't need to have tiles, and you don't need a logo.

3l) Cube puzzles must have at most one logo. For Rubik's Cube or bigger cube puzzles the logo must be placed on one of the centre pieces.

Notice 'at most'. Meaning you can have 0 or 1 logos.

 

[ribonzz]

Will it has the new record?? I'll wait for that, hell yeah !

Pwned, they should clearly have a rule saying that only people with an IQ of 10+ can enter.

Edit:
Just did 15 - 20 solves, first time in a long time really (been busy for the last 2 months). Couple of sub 20 solves with the rest being > 25s

Hehe, why are you having your Winters Game in the summer? Wierd australians...
Yes, that was intended as a joke

SO you DO know that our winter is your summer?:fp

Ty dropped off 4 displays and timers today!

He has (Speed Stacks Australia) generously let us borrow an extra 2 tournament displays and competition timers for the competition.

It'd be interesting to get to know some of the cubers that are registered without a WCA ID on http://www.speedcubing.com.au/competitors/. *waves*

Tim.

 

[Dene]

Oh boy there's quite a few people there.

 

[Tim Major]

It'll be interesting to meet Filio Kuntag. Only competing in bld (Indonesian crazy bld powers )
Yusuke Matsunaga hasn't competed before but he's in quite a few events, including Pyra
I'm scared
Some early goals:

• Make the finals in all events with finals.
• Win Pyra (obviously, as Pyra and OH are my main events)
• Beat Faz's worst Pyra average with my best, (I don't actually expect to win.)
• Podium in OH.
• Sub 18 3x3 average in one of the rounds, and sub 20 in the other two (if I only make the second round and not the finals, I want sub 19 and sub 20 in the 2 rounds)
• Pyra AuR single (something I have a chance in relating to Pyra)
• Improve every current comp pb.

 

[Luigimamo]

I would really appreciate it if I could borrow someone's 5x5 as mine is missing a corner and it's not very good.
