Sydney Autumn 2012

[pi.cubed]

Would more people come if it was held during the holidays? I would think that a few people would be less likely to come if it was during the school term. Do you think the number of competitors in MSO2010 was affected by the fact that it was in the holidays?

 

[megaminxwin]

I doubt it. Besides, it's still on a weekend, so that probably won't affect things too much.

Events: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, oh

Schedule: Sydney Autumn 2012 Schedule

Rish has organised the venue.

Once Andrea confirms whether she's able to go I'll propose the competition to the WCA Board. So, feel free to register online now (pay on the day). But I'd recommend waiting for the competition to be announced on the WCA web site if you're travelling interstate and/or booking flights.

Tim.

can we add an event of BLD and magic - master magic ?

Like the one we talking about before

 

[Dene]

At this stage the schedule is as it is. It all depends on how many people come, which people come (i.e. people that help a lot vs. people that don't), and how things go on the day. The schedule will be adjusted closer to the time if necessary, to either include more events, or remove some if a lot of people register, and then however things turn out on the day will determine whether more events are added or not.

 

[megaminxwin]

AWESOME

I'll try and get some of my cubing friends to come, they've been waiting on this ever since I told them that it might be happening. YES

 

[Daryl]

okay..

Can we start competition at 10 like usual in Melbourne ?

 

[TimMc]

okay..

Can we start competition at 10 like usual in Melbourne ?

It depends on venue costs. Rish (USyd) offered 11am to 4pm. If we have more competitors then we may be able to afford more hours. We'll need to find the right balance between the number of competitors, their speed, the number of events, the number of rounds, and whether we can fit into one day.

3-5 was originally proposed but I recommended 2, 3, 4 and oh instead. This is to cater toward the club members at USyd, since they're organising it.

We can have more events in the future, but we should take it easy for the first time in Sydney. The success of the competition may influence future competitions in the area.

[RCTACameron]

Sounds like a good competition. I am hoping I'll be able to go. I might be a bit tired though - it's the day after I get back from a 4-day school camp.

 

[jblake17]

Is the 21st a fixed date? What is the chance of it being on the 21st/earlier or later?

 

[bryson azzopard]

cool its on but add blind, magic and master magic if possible i dont really care about pyraminx and 5x5 to much if we dont do them events

 

[pkvk9122]

[thatkid]

IM IN YES AHAHHA FINALLY I PROMISE ILL HELP HEAPS :DD

can we have BLD?

 

[jblake17]

lol, I've got a nine day school camp at the end of term out in the Snowy Mountains. FUN. I am hoping that I'll be able to go as well.

 

[TimMc]

The date is 21st of April. This is unlikely to change.

The events are 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and oh.

We can have more events at a future competition when we figure out who actually attends and what the demand is like for other events. Based on the competitors from USyd, 3-5 would suffice.

Tim.

EDIT: I've just included mgc, mmgc, bf and 5x5 as possible events. Send me an e-mail if you've already registered and would like to compete in one of these events. Note: a possible event doesn't mean it will be held. It'll be a good indicated to see who prefers what and we might be able to adjust the schedule to include some more events.

 

[V1NSONG]

Could you possible include pyraminx?

 

[megaminxwin]

Could you possible include pyraminx?

That might be a possible event, but unlikely. Looks like we want to start small at the moment. Maybe next time??? (if there is a next time, which there probably will be)

So I kind of just signed up for seven different events... yowza. This should be interesting. At least I've got the whole day free. Now all we do is wait for it to be announced, and then practice like all hell.

 

[jblake17]

NOOO! 21st I am away. I have always wanted to go to a competition! Oh man...

 

[rubiksarlen]

The comp still hasn't been announced on WCA yet.

 

[toastman]

You BLOODY LEGENDS for sorting out a venue!
I'll be there. Would love a round of BLD to be included.
