Not sure at this stage.

 

[Dene]

Heh well good luck. Maybe you can be the first person to speedcube as a profession . Millions in endorsements; Nike! Red Bull! All sorts of drugs companies! And of course Swatch!

 

[ShadowCuber]

Hey guys how has everyone been, thought I'd just check up on how everyone is going again, I've just been caught up with VCE which has consumed alot of my time and social life leaving minimial time and space for my cubing activities and practice, the best for my 3x3 atm is only sub 30 now which I don't practice much now lol.

 

[Dene]

Wassup homie. Not much happening at the moment I think, just ausnats this weekend in Canberra.

Hey guys,

I just unpacked my bag to find that my white Zhan chi with Z Stickers is missing. If anyone has one or knows where it might be that would be great.

 

[andojay]

Does any own purple (not lavender) 3x3 stickers?
Also meet up
probably next weekend?

I'm organising a competition.

Here is the likely details so far:

Melbourne Spring 2013 (not the definite name yet)

Date: 12 October 2013
Time: 9:00am – 6:00pm (?)

City: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Venue: Brimacombe Hall
Address: 355 Station Street, Box Hill, VIC 3128

Website: www.speedcubing.com.au
Organiser: Cameron Stollery
WCA delegates: Dene Beardsly and Tim McMahon
Registration fee: $15

Events:
2x2 cube
3x3 cube
4x4 cube
5x5 cube
6x6 cube (?)
7x7 cube (?)
Rubik’s Cube One-Handed
Rubik’s Cube Blindfolded
Pyraminx
Megaminx (?)
Square-1 (?)

So yeah, it's in Box Hill, this could be more or less convenient than the city, depending where you live. This is all subject to change. I will try to hold the events that people are most interested in, so feel free to request and event that you would particularly like to hold. However, multiBLD, bigBLD, feet and FMC are unlikely.

Please note that the higher registration fee is because money from the registration fee will be going towards charity. If you're driving, you've already saved the extra $5 because there will be free parking. Also, it's a large venue with good lighting and AV system and stuff, ~5 minutes walk from places where you can get food and ~20 minutes walk from Box Hill train station.

Edit: It will be on speedcubing.com.au, isn't yet though.

I'm organising a competition.

I am hyped already. No way I'm missing out on a comp that's 20 mins from my house. And good events too

 

[Tim Major]

Cameron,

• 9m2) Events with 15 or fewer competitors must have at most two rounds.

Pyraminx should easily get more than 15 competitors so 3 rounds k

Attending this competition maybe a bit hard for a few of us, due to our final VCE exams starting in less than two weeks from that date.

Unless you're aiming for a really difficult to get into course, you shouldn't need to study literally every day in the months leading up to it. I'm doing one year 12 subject, so a very low workload, but I couldn't imagine studying as much as you propose (all day every day for over 2 weeks?)

Even with a busy study schedule like that, you should take days off so you don't get overloaded.

 

[cubecraze1]

Can't make the 12'th. Have fun guys.

 

[RCTACameron]

Regarding the competition I'm trying to organise, the date is going to have to be delayed. Please don't book flights or anything before we have a confirmed date.

That's... not good news. My year 12 exams are wrapped around the first weekend of November.

Yeah, I've realised that no matter what this competition is going to be hard to get to for anyone doing VCE. Unfortunately, we can't fix this.

I think 95% of VCE exams are between the final week of October and the first week of November, so scheduling it November 10+ or October 20- would be preferred (on phone so don't have weekend dates available.
