4. I do not think that there will be an event T-shirt. The organiser has to correct me if I am wrong.

yah.. abit disappointed that there is no event t-shirt..
another question:
if during the solve, the center piece (not edge piece) falls off, can i continue to solve or repair it?

"5a) Puzzle defects are defects of puzzles, like: pieces popping, wires breaking, screws/caps/stickers falling off.
5b) If a puzzle defect occurs, the competitor may choose to continue the solve (before or after repairing the defect) or choose to stop the solve.
5b1) If a competitor chooses to repair the puzzle, then he must only repair the defective pieces, and must not use pieces of other puzzles. Penalty: disqualification of the solve.
5b2) During the repairing of the puzzle, the competitor must not intentionally make the position easier to solve than before the defect. Penalty: disqualification of the solve.
5b3) If after repairing the puzzle, but still during the solve, the competitor notices that the puzzle is unsolvable, he may disassemble and assemble max. 4 pieces to make the puzzle solvable again.
5b4) For blindfolded events a puzzle defect may only be repaired during the solving, and must be done blindfolded. Penalty: disqualification of the solve.
5b5) If, after the solve, non functional parts of the puzzle are still defect (like a centre cap of a cube) or not fully rotated (like a 5x5x5 centre piece twisted in its spot), but the puzzle is otherwise unambiguously solved, the puzzle is considered solved. (discretion of the main judge)
5c) If a competitor has a puzzle defect, this does not give him the right to an extra attempt."

Thats the article in the WCA site about puzzle defects that I read, so, according to that, you can continue the solve and put the pieces back and vice versa :P

TwisterTimmy:
Well, according to Organizers, "there are no items nor freebies given. Registration fee is to generate the prize money.
Registration fee ensure each sign-up will get a certificate of participation."

How's your holidays ? Waiting for you to come back to collect your additional 3 more cubes :)

Hi Bob,

hopefully that means we would at least still be able to purchase a event T-Shirt :P Would be quite a downer if we couldn't :(

And my holidays are great thanks! I'm most likely coming back on the night of the 5th, thus I will most likely collect my cubes on the 6th, I'll ensure that I inform you of everything! :) Cant wait to get them soon!
 
Maybe we could petition for the organizers to design and sell one if the response is good?
 
Yeah I would like to know that if it is possible too. I have read the regulations but I can't seem to find anywhere in the regulations that says if the organisers are able/unable to add official events after the competition has been announced.

TwisterTimmy: When I was at the competition, I did not see previously any on sale. Most of the people there were in school uniforms. hahahaha

Ok, pls whatsapp me or Text me what time you want to collect the additional 3 cubes on 6th Jan 2013 (Sunday).
Understand your feeling of waiting and getting the new cubes. Its agonizing. hahaa... but do have a safe trip back to Singapore first.......take care
see you soon....
 
UPDATE about Event T-shirt

Singapore Open 2013 organizers originally have the idea to print t-shirts but they are deliberating how many to print as it will directly affect the cost
and price of the t-shirt etc....
and they are unsure of the idea of incorporating it into the registration cost.
And also the response to the buying of t-shirt from the competitors.
Thus, they held back this idea. Maybe if you can give some more suggestion with regards to it, I will then collate and feedback to them.

Erm, as I am quite close to the Singapore Open 2013 organisers, I can probably help to push for such an idea, since it is likely to be well-received by the participants.

question: anyone know where to purchase Lubix Cube Silicone Lubricant in Singapore?
Click to expand...

I dont think the Lubix brand lubricant is available in Singapore, however, I have read something about differential oil/shock oil being just as effective, with some even saying its the same content. Differential oil/shock oil (again, from what I read) is available in either Lucky Plaza or Far East Plaza, thats all the info I have, sorry :P
 
Hi all cubers,

We have decided to have a t shirt this year. We will need to see how is the response for the Tshirt so that we know how many to print. Do indicate your interest for the tshirt soon so that we can collate the numbers and do an estimation for the printing. Thanks.

Patrick
 
Dear all, may I know where (apart from Lucky or Far East Plaza) would I be able to get lubricant for the puzzles?
