Organizers --- comments ?

Hi all,

As we are still trying out the combination of different events, we are still looking at the participation rates of the other events that we did not include in our combination. However, we have taken your feedback and will look into including it in our future events. As for the previous competitions that we organized, we did not actually have this event included too. Thanks for your interest in the megaminx event and we have taken note of it.

Regards,
Patrick Hon

Hi tengurocks,

We do not have a tshirt included in our package for our competition this year. Thanks.

 

[ardi4nto]

Yes, I do live in Singapore! However, I'm not Singaporean Indonesian kid Thank you for the link!

Hi!
Don't worry, I'm Indonesian too and I'm slow and I've came to a lot of comps, but I glad I've met so many friends!

 

[uniacto]

hey all, my friend in Singapore lives near the university, and was wondering if she would be allowed to just watch and not compete. Would that be allowed?

Hi there! Glad to meet a fellow Indonesian here!

Uniacto - Yes, that would defintely be possible. When the batch of next contestants are up, organizers/judges will congregate them to one side of the lecture theatre (which is at Science Faculty LT31 in National University of Singapore).
When its time to solve the cubes, they will go to the "front" of the lecture theatre - easily recognizable from the tables and timers.

Other than that, audience ARE allowed to go and watch. But please do not wander into contestants' area or judges/organizers area (where they are scrambling the cubes and tabulating the results.)

If you or your friends need any cubes, do go to this link : http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?39695-Selling-Cubes-(in-SINGAPORE-only)
All the best !

 

[tengurocks]

it would also be nice if u guys could add clock

 

[Genesis]

it would also be nice if u guys could add clock

Is it possible to add official events as of now?

 

[bxchia]

i will be participating for the first time, and have the following questions:

1. Will the judge gives clear instruction for first time participant?
2. Is there a break between each solve (for the average of 5)?
3. If failed to get into round 2, can leave early?
4. Will there be a place for purchasing of the event T-shirt?

Thanks.

 

[anders]

1. Yes. Tell the judge that you do it for the first time. You will also get the opportunity to practise with the timing equipment.
2. You can expect a break of a few minutes between each solve, depending on the grouping and the flow of the competition.
3. Sure. But why not stay an enjoy the atmosphere!
4. I do not think that there will be an event T-shirt. The organiser has to correct me if I am wrong.
