Swedish cube day 2007

[AvGalen]

I will look for a plane ticket tonight

 

[Kenneth]

Clarification:

It is official but there will be unofficial events in this compettion, (like 2x OH and yesterday Anders asked me if there is room for 3x3x3 NIE, I will see if there is time for that.)

 

[Kenneth]

At this page there is a description of how to get there (I will put up a page for the competiton soon but it not ready yet).

Here is a short translation from the page:

Bus 559 to Granhammar from Kungsängen station has got a stop at Bygdegårdsvägen a few meters avay from the venue. (it's a 5 min ride)

Kungsängen station is reach from Stockholm central by local train ("Pendeltåg") in about 25 minutes.

The rest is about how to get there by car, guess you don't

Not this time, but maybe next year if there is going to be another Swedish/Finnish tournament-holiday-tournament opportunity

Drive:1,496 km – about 15 hours 25 mins

1600-1700 4x4x4 cube BLD best of one, 3x3x3 Multi BLD best of one

wow, that sounds so awesome. I wish i could make it to come...

 

[AvGalen]

Why can't you? Plaintickets (ryanair!) are 1 cent (taxes not included)

 

[Kenneth]

Arnaud, have you sent a registering to my brother?

Otherwise you can register by sending me a PM here and I will list you for the events you have choosen.

That goes for the rest of you who read this and like to come, you can PM me and tell me your full name and the events you like to do.

(It's a shortcut, othewise my brother gets the mails, forward them to me, I add the person to the list and then send the updated page back to him so he can upload it to his server )

 

[Kenneth]

We decided to set a (wery small) entry fee for SCD. The fee is set to a maximum of 50 Swedish crowns and that is about 6 euro. But if many (20+ ppl) comes then it will be lower.

The fee is to finance the cost for the venue, that is about 100 euro. (I don't want to drain the wery small budget of SveKub compleatly)

We discussed the fee at SveKub and no one complained about it, (everybody can afford 6 euro =)

Just wanted to let you know

 

[Kenneth]

The SCD web page is now updated with some preregistred participants:

[Kenneth]

Good news for all fast cubers that will come:

There is now a prize donation for 3x3x3 best single time in the competition.

The prize is 2,000 Swedish Crowns = about 220 euro or 320 dollars.

Are you fast? the prize is enough to pay your trip to Sweden if you live in Europe

 

[KConny]

Edouard Chambon just Preregistred so say goodbye to the pricemoney. Not even a LL skip would help me.

 

[Doudou]

I took my flight tickets, That's sure I will come.

 

[KConny]

Great!
I'm looking forward to getting my ass kicked.

 

[Kenneth]

Great!
I'm looking forward to getting my ass kicked.

Yea yea, for 3x3x3, but htere are more events, Lets' beat him at least in the 2x2x2 OH, I think we can do that

 

[KConny]

His 2x2 avg is 6.61 and his OH avg is 23.89, so I doubt I'll have a chance.

 

[Kenneth]

I'll try, using CLL you just need some luck and you solve in 10 turns, one or two of those and I do a sub 15 average

 

[Doudou]

I tried 2x2 OH... But that's difficult...
I got on my first try a 4.1, because of a LL skip.
I have to practice a bit to average about 10, because i must be about 15

 

[Kenneth]

Seriously I'm actually glad if I can do a sub 20 average, I have not practice 2x OH for more than a year. But... I'm pretty sure I can do sub 15 if I get good scrambles

arnaud and me have done some searching about the travel and come to this:
arlanda airport: close to stockholm
stockholm NYO: miles aways from stockholm?????? why is this? and why do they call them stockholm?
Is there a good cheap way of going from NYO kavska to Kangsungen?
