Speedcubing in Brisbane

Yep hi... I am also from Brisbane. Im kinda new to cubing (started in December last year) and my pb is 13 secs and I average about 16.... I was wondering will there be any cubing comps being held in Brisbane any soon?

Yay, another brisbane cuber!
Oh wow, your times are really fast for such a short time. (Either that or I am just slow).
In terms of comps, we need to get a few more people that would be interested in it first.
Also, asking Tim (The delegate) about it would be a better idea as he would be the host.
 
Hi guys, another cuber from the Brisbane area.
Learnt the beginners method about a month ago, got a best time of 1:08, started learning 4LLL a couple of weeks ago and now know all the algs, which cut off about 20 seconds. Recently started on F2L which has dramatically increased my times.

Current average: 60 seconds (with a ridiculous 8-40-6-6 split)

I obviously need to work on my F2L before i am anywhere near good enough to go to any meetings or competitions, but i thought i would at least make myself known :)

Honestly, go to a meetup or a competition if you can.
I started out doing LL and I was 2mins+. yeh sure I was a bit intimidated by everyone else but once you meet everyone.
Everyone is really nice and if you ask, they can help you improve faster than trying to learn by yourself. And you get to learn any cool tricks etc.

Trust me, even if you jump onto the Skype/Facebook if you cant' meet up in person. It's about making a connection and having fun.

BTW: There is a Head-to-head competition Rubik's Cube Tournament. The details are on the facebook event page. Check it out and remember to have fun with it!

That's fine. As Andrea said, go to a meetup or competition if you're able to. Some other cubers might be able to give you a few tips on how to improve your F2L. It's a lot easier to learn a couple of algorithms from someone face-to-face.

A lot of competitors go from 60 seconds to 20-30 seconds after a couple of competitions. :-)

Tim.
 
Thanks guys for the help, i'll try really hard to make it to a comp.

I know everyone always says "its the cuber not the cube", but on my third timed solve with my brand new zhanchi i reduced my PB for 54 seconds to a non lucky 38!!!!! So incredibly happy, and i love my ZHANCHI!!!!

That saying doesn't apply to every cube ;)
Definitely take the day off and drive up to Brisbane for the comp next thursday :) If you can't, hope you can make it to the next one! ^_^
