Melbourne Winter Open 2010

[AnthonyH]

I want a Blindfolded Success real bad

 

[Carrot]

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.

go for sub Odder-single =)

Well, when I do 10 solves, I usually get sub 4.5 at least once every average of 12, and to get AuR I really have to beat your single Hopefully I will. I just hope it uses a Polish V case, or Faz will likely solve it faster than me

We have had five people sign up since yesterday, so if anyone else was leaving it until late, there is only one day left to register, so don't miss out!

As a side note, on my goals a few pages back;

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

I've learned the rest of OLL, learned the rest of Polish V, a few more sq1 algs, but decided I didn't care that much about 2x2 so didn't bother learning any of CLL.

• Make the finals in all events with finals. More hopeful now, averaging a bit faster on 3x3, so hopefully will make it.
• Win Pyra (obviously, as Pyra and OH are my main events) I'm averaging 6.8~ now so I guess I've improved my chances.
• Beat Faz's worst Pyra average with my best, (I don't actually expect to win.) Well, hopefully I get this done, especially now I've improved a bit.
• Podium in OH. Stuck about 32-35
• 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) I now want sub 17 average in one round and sub 19 in the other two (assuming I make the finals.
• Pyra AuR single (something I have a chance in relating to Pyra) Meh, still a chance.
• Improve every current comp pb. I really think I can do this now.

I've improved across the board since posting this a bit over a week ago, and I've improved my goals (see bold).


Also, 33 competitors now Hopefully we can fit everything in

Wait, you DO know that Jeremy's pyra scrambles were rigged? And were meant to be easy...

 

[Tim Major]

What are you pointing that at? I kinda figured they were rigged, but it would have been possible, but anyway, I didn't get a pb average with his scrambles, I was 0.2 off or something.

 

[Faz]

Goal: Beat ZBFTW at pyra.

That is all.

Also, all sub 10 averages for 3x3, and a good OH average to go with it. Also ZBFTW, getting into 3x3 finals might be a bit of a challenge for you.

I have Me, matt, luke, nick, dene, chrisw, and 2 extra spots pretty much xD.

 

[IamWEB]

:rolleyes:

 

[Faz]

I had to double check that xD

Also @ZBFTW Yusuke is pretty cool, don't worry about him beating you though.

I only set goals, on things I was doubtful about getting
Please... don't practise Pyra
I'm averaging 17.xy on 3x3 when warmed up, so I do have a chance of making it.
Now I'm all talking myself up I'm gonna fail
Good luck on your 3x3 goal, should be interesting to watch.

Edit: Oh, I didn't realise WEB had edited your goals xD

 

[Todd]

If I didnt sign up... am I still able to come a long on the day to spectate and meet some of you guys?

 

[joey]

You can still sign up...

 

[Faz]

Just a reminder that we need to keep the venue clean, and if I see anyone littering I'll make you clean the whole venue up Also, try not to break anything.

Me and David Edwards will be there at 7am to set up, or around that time, and we will be the ones with the key, so don't expect to get in before 7am (Which I highly doubt anyone will, seeing as the first event starts at 9:30)

The venue is a bit trickier to get to than last time, so there will be a laminated rubik's cube picture, and probably a poster on the entrance, and we may have someone waiting at the tram stop, just cubing, to direct you up the street.

Remember to be there at 9am for registration, and bring the 10 dollars in cash.

Lunch is just a short walk 200m up the road to Errol street, where there are plenty of places to get some food. Note that you are free to leave whenever you don't have an event, and get something from 7/11 or something like that.
The event before lunch is the first round of OH, so once you have finished your average, you can get lunch. Square one will be run during lunch.

There is meter parking around the area, so it is suggested that you are just dropped off, or take public transport.

Tim will probably send out a last minute email to the competitors with some more info, and the groupings for 3x3 and 4x4.

Also note, due to 19 people competing in magic, there will now be 2 rounds of magic, both after lunch.

This is the building btw.

 

[pappas]

I'm glad you posted that pic as I would never have found it.^

 

[Faz]

Yeah, just remember no. 87
EDIT: Also someone please break my magic NR - It's embarrassing xD

 

[Dene]

Two rounds of magic? You have got to be kidding me...

 

[AnthonyH]

Can someone please Lend me a 2x2 for the comp?
