Big THX to Manu for setting this up! It was nice to meet y'all.

Thank you Zoe for spotting the twisted corner in the arrow cube.
I have solved it before so I expect that someone at home dropped / popped it and put some pieces back...
(has happened before on regular cubes)

See you at the Dutch open!

Some links for those interested in some non-speed stuff

FMC stuff:

AVG's write up on FMC
FMC thread

ALso check the weekly comp FMC results, there's typically some great sub 30 stuff by Guus, Erik J. and Okayama.
There's also some sub 30 stuff by me ( if you go back a few months )
And offcourse http://fmc.mustcube.net for more good stuff.

For info on commutators check:
BH tutorial

For commutators and general blockbuilding awesomeness check:
Heise Especially the EO and final edges / corners stuff is very usefull for FMC.

For info on the Human Thistlethwaite method:
Ryan Heise's page on HTA - The Original
Speedsolving Human Tistlethwaite Help/ Discussion Thread
Some HTA for FMC Note: this can not compete with traditional blockbuilding approach.

Waiting for a competition in Brussels

Hi,

someone could organize a competition in Brussels please?
I'm waiting since a year!

Thank you people.

 

[kubusmaster88]

nice idea

 

[Ollie]

why dont you organize one?

 

[AyhanCubix]

why dont you organize one?

I don't know how to

 

[hcfong]

I don't know how to

1. Go to a couple of competitions yourselves and get to know people, especially Lars and Geert.
2. Once you get a good idea of how competitions work, think about what events you want and how many people you expect.
3. Find a suitable venue and get some options for dates.
3. Contact Lars (Vandenbergh) or Geert to ask them if they are available on any of those dates and if they are willing to delegate.
4. Confirm the booking.
5. Make a website for the competition.
6. Contact Lars or Geert again to let them know the competition is ready to be announced.
7. Wait for registrations and process them as they come in.
8. In the meantime, contact cubecomps to get a page created to enter scores.
9. A week before the competition, start printing scoresheets, contact venue again, contact delegate to finalise things and make sure the right number of scrambles are printed, etc.
10. Arrive early at the venue on the day and set up. Have a good competition and afterwards, look back on a job well done. (or shame if you've messed up)

No; there are young organizers out there; you just need to be trustworthy and knowledgeable.

 

[Jander Clerix]

i will defenatly come

 

[schaek]

Are there cube-related websites from Belgium? And how do most cubers connect? Being friends and teach each other stuff irl?

I got into cubing a month ago, but know no-one who is interested in it Except my wife when she sees I broke my record again (yesterday - 46s; 17/68 under 1m; avg 1:06)

edit: I'm from around Ostend, others who live close?

 

[AyhanCubix]

I don't think there is a Belgian cubers website.We aren't many.You can learn methods here :http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page?tabid=76

There are too cubers from Vlaams-Brabant.

Would anyone be interested in a meet-up in Brugge/Bruges in the coming months? Serving as a nice practise and discussion for stuff concerning Belgian Winter 2015?

Come on, you know you all want to! ;D

[cuber8208]

Just make a facebook event?

You can, to garner some more interest and then we could make a date thing like I saw you did earlier in the thread (tried clicking but it 404'd) to see when is best for most people?
