Yes. I'll let you know when they're up.

Tim.

CHYYEAAAAAHHHHHH

@pkvk, I'm very impressed on your 4x4 skills, great job

We usually try to schedule competitions during school holidays so that students are available to attend. There'd probably end up being fewer competitors if it was during an exam or testing period.

This probably doesn't matter, but I'm just saying that I wouldn't be able to attend any Saturday competitions in the school term due to Saturday Language School.

Yes. I'll let you know when they're up.

I hate my 4x4 times. Need more practice. Though I did get a new PB of 1.06.xx with the new SSv3.

And thanks for the photos. I smile too much.

Sorry, forgot to answer
I got two bermuda cubes for winning 3x3 and 4x4

Everybody should be receiving their certificates next time Andrea/Tim/somebody can get them to Sydney.

Okay then

@Tim,

is the blindfold also official event or not ?

 

[kirtpro]

@Tim,

is the blindfold also official event or not ?

The wrong program was used to generate scrambles. 4x4 scrambler changed to 3x3. Cube explorer wasn't used so sadly blindfolded isn't official.

I'd also prefer the next comp to be in the Sydney CBD area, not sure if I'll be allowed to go to Newcastle for a comp

There's a fairly even split between competitors in Melbourne and Sydney:
42 competitors at Melbourne Cube Day 2011 (8 weren't from Victoria)
41 competitors at Sydney Autumn 2012 (7 weren't from NSW)

So Sydney Autumn 2012 was the second largest competition in Australia.

Tim.

My count is 42 competitors from the Sydney autumn, making it equal first.

Yeah, with the inclusion of 4x4 results it's now 42. So Sydney and Melbourne have both had the most competitors at a WCA competition in Australia.

@ Daryl: 3x3 blind isn't official. Cube Explorer wasn't used for the scrambles.

Tim.

I'm not talking about venue, quality wise. I'm asking about venue, location wise. "Your distance from the two places, which do you prefer"

edit:

My question to everyone is:
Which location is closer to home?
Newcastle
or
Sydney Uni

I'm asking to get an idea as to the whereabouts competitions should be held

Sydney Uni is closer for me, I would have to have a two hour drive to get to newcastle :/

Delegate was late. Wrong scramble program was used.
