So who's coming!?

 

[Erik]

*raises hand*

but I have to say that the events that are there are a bit disappointing..

So what is missing? In all it is a one day event , there is little room for more events. But I might fit in depending on the total registered

So what is missing?

 

[CharlieCooper]

PYRAMINX hehe I'm joking.

I really want to come. This could form part of a "visit to Holland where I don't JUST cube and do some tourism". Except I would cube for one day. Hmm. Very tempted.

FEET solve ?

 

[Erik]

Pyraminx yes, and 7x7 would be cool too (I don't care about 6x6) although that's a longer taking event. Pyra is quick and easy. I'd love to do FMC too, it's fun to puzzle around a bit I'm not interested in clock personally.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

5x5BLD!

No, but seriously, why hasn't anybody said 2x2 yet? If organized correctly it won't take much more than 30 minutes total. I also agree with Erik on FMC, though I know it is a pain to check all the solutions. I don't think Clock is going to be a very popular event there, I think pyraminx or square-1 would be better.

 

[Rama]

You organize your own competition with your own events.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

...

What's wrong with suggestions? I wasn't even giving my own opinion a higher priority. Then I'd be serious about suggesting 5x5BLD. I'm only suggesting events most people will probably prefer over the events which are listed right now.

 

[AvGalen]

Why not organise this the American way? Have 2-7, 3oh, 3bf on the main stage on a fixed schedule and megaminx/pyraminx/clock/square1/magics on a side stage where it can be done all day long in random order?

Also, I will be there in case there was ever any doubt

I like to organize a competition where I also can have some fun time, the last competition where very busy for me. So I scheduled one where I know I have time for my self.

I like your idea, but this implies also a bigger organizing team/more voluntaries, btw thanks you will help out.. I wish more would do this so I could arrange better competitions

How do they manage to keep competitors in the competitiors' area for the rounds on the side stage?

7h1) Competitors (or a group of competitors) who have been called to compete - and only those competitors - must stay in the competitors area until they finished all solves of the round.

[Raffael]

I'll definetly come if I can afford to.
I really like clock, so I hope it stays in.

I like Arnaud's suggestion:
Add some quick side events like magic and mastermagic.
Anyone can judge those.

Or perhaps you could do sth like this:
There's one extra hour for side events, competitors just have to find someone by themselves who judges them.

As I wrote this implies also a bigger organizing team/more voluntaries...

For once I like to have an easy competition, last competitions I was to busy even to have a break.
I will need extra score takers and people who can organize an event before I consider these side event. Else I still need to arrange the event do the score taking and look after these side event.

 

[martijn_cube]

I will be there.

 

[Rama]

During the break... I want to take a break.

 

[lorki3]

[TMOY]

Now I'm certain I will be able to come

I hope to see a nice and fresh cubers at The Haque Open .

I had bad experience at Dutch Champs, when I had to solve 4x4x4 ( my last solve ) one judge ( fortunately not my judge , he smell very bad so I lost my control and pressed the timer after my lousy solve ) . I felt like I had to run away.
