Speedcubing in Sydney

[TimMc]

Tim and Dene have both stated that if you organise a competition in Sydney they are happy to attend.

This.

A lack of delegates in Australia currently isn't an issue.

Anyone can organise a competition. Just ask a WCA delegate to attend before announcing the competition. If you need any help with figuring out what's required to run a competition, just ask.

Upcoming competitions:
Melbourne will have two more this year (possibly three). Melbourne Spring 2013. Melbourne Cube Day 2013. Lifestyles Summer 2013.
Newcastle might have one later this year or early next (need further info).
Brisbane might have one in December (depends on how the unofficial one in October goes). Brisbane Summer 2013.
Canberra might have one in December or January (two different venues?). Canberra Summer 2014

If you can get a venue secured, then I am sure that Tim would help organize it.

 

[bryson azzopard]

nader if we were to have a delegate in NSW I would suggest jay or kirt not just because they are fast but they know a fair lot of the regulations and have been overseas for competition's and have competed in a almost every competition in the last 2 years and they have shown trust towards both Dene and Tim so if we were to suggest people I choose them

Yeah sorry for the questions, but just want to know how big the hall or venue should be.

 

[bryson azzopard]

Yeah sorry for the questions, but just want to know how big the hall or venue should be.

I don't think we need another competition with all the ones competitions coming up and we are having one in Newcastle so I don't think we need another around here until next year because I don't think Tim and Dene will like all the money it will cost to travel more then 2-3 times into NSW before the end of the year. also Dene and/or Tim with the Newcastle comp I will be happy for you to stay at my house so you don't have to pay for a hotel and what not

 

[Nader Cube]

Yeah as i said,maybe in the summer holidays so probably somewhere in between January or February 2014.

Yeah thanks bryson,anyway newcastle wont be any trouble.Yeah ill wait till probably mid next year till sydney competition

 

[YddEd]

Yeah thanks bryson,anyway newcastle wont be any trouble.

Did someone say cleansweep? Jks

Nick recorded lots of video, and will hopefully make a montage of that.

I went to the beginning of the thread and found this. I was super confused when I saw that Feliks got a 5 second 2x2 average when I realized that this is from 2009. Interesting to think how much changes in 5 years, huh? Now it takes Feliks (on a good solve) less time to solve a 3x3 than it (potentially) took for him to solve a 2x2.

Sorry for the Off-Topic, though haha

 

[Nader Cube]

Yeah thats so true. When you cube for a few years you develop a lot of speed with your fingers/hands and also your memorize things easily.




Does anyone know how to change your Speedsolving Username
