alright. Did he say when?

I asked Joshua about this on Facebook
He said they were starting to plan it and he thinks it in Auckland.
I rather have it Wellington but Auckland is okay. For me.

December. So no problems with school being on for me. My last exam is on Friday 29th I think.

 

[YddEd]

ocool, I could come.

Funny this was brought up, because last night I had a dream about a New Zealand competition (not a real one), and I was thinking I need to contact David and Josh about this.

I'd like to bring it to the attention of Josh and David (when either of them eventually reads this): There is a decent chance I'll be in New Zealand at the end of the year or early next year, so I could potentially get involved.

I want to complete in 6x6, 7x7, clock, feet, FMC and BLD events. I haven't even done 3BLD yet. If this comp happens

 

[YddEd]

Megaminx if this competition happens.

 

[jbrungar]

Yes there will be, in Auckland. I am working on getting the venue sorted so we can announce it asap. Most likely December 8, after exams are finished and not too close to Christmas.

 

[Dene]

Can't squeeze it back a little bit closer to Christmas by any chance? 21/22 would suit me perfectly

 

[jbrungar]

Too close to Christmas, I want to keep my sanity.

On a side note, is anyone going to Armageddon Auckland, more specifically on the Sunday?

 

[tx789]

Have you got a venue yet?
I should be able to go. I will be able to practise more before the comp this year due to exam leave. My last exam is on 29 Nov and the one before that is on 11 Nov I think.

Spoiler

Also I want to complete in every official event and feet seems the most unlikely event to happen.

Well hello ladies! Been a while? First and foremost... Does anyone have a sexy cube they'd be willing to sell me? Like, say, whatever cube is the best/top of the market these days? Someone stole mine when my mums house got ransacked in Rotorua :'(

This website is pretty cheap. Brand new cubes and free delivery. http://www.fasttech.com/category/2115/speed-cubes-timers-and-accessories

The Weilong, fangshi and zhanchi seem to be the most popular at the moment.

Also will there/can there be 3BLD and multi this year?

 

[tx789]

I hope there will be all BLD if I can solve BLD by then but there should if there enough time and competitors

From what I remember about Rotorua they also ransack tents and steal some of my puzzles. That is a crazy coincidence! I guess one of the guys at the police office is a closet-cuber.

Also, those cubes would not be sexy but smelly

Hahahaha, awwwww man, what'd they steal, if you remember?

Rotorua stinks but you get used to it after a while!

 

[SixSidedCube]

BUMP!

Josh or David, any more news on this?

 

[tx789]

Andcan we hhae 6x6, 7x7 and clock this year please I know we didn't have time for it last year but I want to complete in every event eventually.

I don't remember entirely, but at least I remember "one pants, some socks+underwear, a 3x3x3 and a 6x6x6". No idea why those cubes but not others.
I had put my tent up just outside of the city near the sportingfields. I stayed there for a few days and one they my tent had disappeared. That night I slept outside, went to the police office the next day and it turned out they had taken it down "for protection". Almost everything was still there except the things I mentioned, so I don't think a thieve took just that. I suspect the police had either been sloppy and things fell out (I searched but didn't find anything), or there is a police-officer with my puzzles (and underwear???)

Still working on it, as soon as I have something confirmed I will let everyone know. December is a hard month to find affordable venues that are available all day due to wedding receptions, christmas parties etc, you have to get in early. If we had a bigger budget it wouldn't be quite so hard.

It sounds as those sponsorship would be handy.
