15 rounds of 15 puzzle
Infact instead of 2-7 cubes we should just do 2-7 slidy puzzles instead :p

How many years do you think it'll be before UKO needs 3 days/2 events running together/both? I assume we'd need two delegates to keep up with that, but with the UK scene continuously growing, who knows where we're going?
Because y'know, the much coveted UK FMC champion title needs to be competed for :D

I would hope for future UK Championships that every event would be held. I'm not sure that 2 events running side by side would need 2 delegates, it would just be hard to implement on a small scale.

I am aware that ideally the championships would have all events, and indeed either 3 days or some concurrent running of events would be required for that. Alternatively, more qualification times than we're having this year (yes, we're having them for mega, clock and sq-1 and will be announced soon). Unfortunately, weekends are only 2 days long and 3 day events are difficult to manage, considering half the cubers are at school, many are at uni and the rest work full-time. My plan is to try and hold one at some point next year though.

2 events concurrent is possible, but only with a couple more organisers and a dedicated judging team. Unfortunately we don't have the resources to make this happen. It's on the list for next year hopefully...

Yeah, I imagined we'd need at least some judging stuff to make concurrent events work. Making me far too excited about UKC14 before UKC13 has even been fully announced :p In the meantime, I understand nobody likes competing more than you and you'll be putting out the best competition you can. ^^
Also, I best get working on my sq-1 :p

Do it during summer, maybe the very end of August. Then at least uni and school students can make it for longer!

Guildford's 3 days of summer cubing?
August bank holiday weekend would fall on my b'day again =)
 
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Firstly, judging is highly likely to be stationary as per Guildford, with a few runners taking cubes back and forth. As usual, everyone will be contributing by judging other groups during first rounds. There will be 3 groups for many events, so you'll always be free to warm up before your group i.e. you judge the group after the one your compete in.

More importantly, we would like a team of around 15 people who would be willing to judge during the finals. Please let us know if you are interested/almost definitely up for it. If there isn't enough interest, judging will be done by the usual forceful methods so you'll be doing it anyway. You may as well take the perks that come with 'official' involvement :)

It doesn't matter if you're going to make a couple of finals - as long as you're not generally superfast at everything then you are suitable
It doesn't matter if you e.g. don't know how to judge clock. We can teach you in 30 seconds.

The perks:
Free registration (£10 otherwise)
You will still get your free lunch
Free staff t-shirt (TBC) as well as the standard competitors t-shirt
You can sit down (stationary judging)
You have the best view of the finals
You have more chance of judging records!
You also get my eternal gratitude
