Now it is decided. There will be a competiton December 15 in Kunsängen, (about 35 km west of Stockholm).

3x3x3 feet
3x3x3 multi BLD
4x4x4 BLD
2x2x2 OH
Pyraminx
Megaminx
Clock
Square-1
Magic
Master Magic
Snake

If time allows:
2x2x2
4x4x4
3x3x3 OH

And maybe more

More information will follow...

Forgot FMC...

 

[Kenneth]

BTW, don't mail me, my computer is down, mail to my brother (Tommy), look at Speedcubing for the adress.

 

[AvGalen]

If there really is going to be a FMC I might actually show up! Is it an Open tournament or not?

 

[gillesvdp]

10 Pm .... ???

 

[MAHTI-ANSSI]

Wow. Apparently that competition is going to be quite multinational.

 

[AvGalen]

Yes, 10 PM!

It looks like a 2-day tournament in 1 day

 

[KConny]

Yes, it's open to everyone. Yes, there will be FMC. Yes, it's 10 PM or 22:00.

 

[hdskull]

There is 2x2x2 OH but not 3x3x3 OH ??? wow

 

[KConny]

This is a competition for events that were left out of Swedish Open.

 

[Kenneth]

Thanks KConny for answering for me

We will do 3x3x3 OH if there is time (got one request for that already, from KConny =), but it is, as said above, a competition mainly for the "odd" events.

OK, 5x5x5 is not that "odd" but there has not ben a competition in this event in Sweden for more than two years.

3x3x3 is certenally not odd but newer a cube competition and no 3x

 

[Kenneth]

If there really is going to be a FMC I might actually show up! Is it an Open tournament or not?

Yes, FMC is a must in this comp, first time in Sweden. (only Sweds who has done this event are me and Lars Petrus, I did DNF

 

[AvGalen]

Is this a coincidence?

Why is this competition not listed at speedcubing.com?

 

[Kenneth]

Because it is an unofficial event, WCA only lists official ones.

We actually had three (or was it four?) competitions where we did 2x OH. We also did some more unofficials like 3x3x3 Siamese cube, Magic OH.... memory lost if there was more =P

 

[AvGalen]

Why is it unofficial? Isn't there a WCA delegate? Would you be interested in making it official?

 

[Kenneth]

I don't know really. The WCA board decides the official events.

Earlier the Siamese and also Rainbow cube was official events but was later removed from the official list (I think it was Tyson who did not want them to be official).

BTW: I just remerbered we also did 3x3x3 NIE (no inspection event), three or four times in competition (this is Anders Larsson's favorite event). 3x3x3 3-in-a-row (once, Anssi won I think). e also had the first ever Snake competiton last years "cube day". I also did snake twice in Finland, Johannes has got the WR's.

I'm also pretty sure Bob Burton had Magic OH in one of his competitions.

 

[AvGalen]

You could ask if this could become an official competition. Even official competitions (Euro2006, Worlds2007) can have unofficial events (Speed-blind, Team-solve).

If the problem is that you need a WCA-delegate to be there.....maybe I could become one?

 

[clement]

I've already booked my place

Yeah ! for the multiple blindfold

Apparently, there is already a WCA deleguate chosen for this competition : Anders Larsson.
But I can become one also.

[TheBB]

It's listed on SC.com. It does have a delegate. It has all the makings of an official competition.

 

[AvGalen]

I don't see it listed on http://www.speedcubing.com/

I do see it listed on http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/competitions.php

Looks official to me

 

[KConny]

It is official.
Not all the info have been added to the WCA page, so it has yet to be annouced on Speedcubing.com
