staying in the car shouldnt be a problem if i pass my test end of this month *crosses fingers* and i have a car or my mum or dad doesnt need their for a couple days *crosses fingers again*

am booking my test tomorrow, just hope theirs a slot soon enough. If i dont manage to pass, i might give this comp a miss and wait til the masters as this will mean having to sort a bed, transport and most of all spending a lot of ££££££

Dedided I'll definitely be there. I can miss a day of revision in order to attempt to push myself a bit further up the rankings ;)
Just hope my magic doesn't die on me again.
 
Goals (If I can actually go :p):

2x2 - sub 4 average, sub 2 single
3x3 - sub 17 average, sub 13 single (probably not gonna get the single)
4x4 - dont care, sub 1:35 single, even though I got a 1:21 at UK open
5x5 - sub 2:20 single
magic - sub 1 average, sub 0.90 single (probably wont happen)
 
So, the venue is not something I want to tell you all about until it's confirmed... and hopefully, thanks to a lovely Bristol cuber (Thom S :P) it could well happen in the next few days.

Just to keep you posted this is a provisional time schedule that will almost certainly change, particularly the choice of side events. I've just gone with what is most popular and has been at previous comps I've done. I haven't put clock on there, so let me know if that's a biggy and I'll try to worm it in. Also, only one round of 2x2, I know I know...

So if you want to feedback on things you would like in schedule that aren't there, please also tell me what you don't mind being removed from the schedule.

8:45-9:30 - Registration
9:00-9:30 - Magic & Master Magic (everyone gets an average)
9:30-10:15 - 2x2 (everyone gets an average)
10:15-11:15 - 3x3 First Round (everyone gets an average)
11:15-11:45 - Pyraminx (Best of 2/Average of 5 sub 20s)
11:45-12:15 - Megaminx (Best of 2/Average of 5 sub 2:15)
12:15-13:00 - 3x3 BLD (Best of 2)
13:00-14:00 - FMC/Lunch
14:00-14:45 - 4x4 (Best of 2/Average of 5 sub 1:30)
14:45-15:15 - Square-1 (Best of 2/Average of 5 sub 1:00)
15:15-16:00 - 3x3 Semi Final
16:00-16:45 - 5x5 (Best of 2/Average of 5 sub 2:30)
16:45-17:30 - OH (Best of 2/Average of 5 sub 45s)
17:30-17:45 - 3x3 Final
17:45-18:00 - Winning Ceremony

Also, because we will probably need to leave promptly (unless the venue are more flexible than I anticipate they will be) we will aim to clear the room almost entirely before the 3x3 final, which will take place in the "one at a time" format and we can then leave soon after.
 
Depending on how Belgium goes, (and whether or not I decide to come to this comp in place of revising for a day) I might be looking for big cube bld opportunities...would there be any possibility of a big cube bld attempt? I'm pretty much willing to sacrifice my participation in any event (including 3bld)...and I don't take 40 mins to do a 5bld any more(!).

Clock would definitely be popular amongst people called Daniel Sheppard :)
 
Clock definitely shouldn't be at this competition, there's no point... Other events I don't mind about because I won't be doing big BLD yet...
 
I should be there, going to try and convince grace to come as well.
the timetable looks good to me. :)

olawd. Know how many people will be going through to said final?

Anyhoo, events list looks awesome, really looking forward to it. Although I can't help but think we'd get more 2x2x2 time if we fobbed off FMC. But I don't really care as long as people are there ^_^
 
Only 1 round of 2x2 is good. It means that anybody who has a decent chance of getting my NR only gets one :p (JUDE)

Finals should be exciting, I love the one after another format xD

(Yeah, there's a good chance I'm coming :))
 
In response to your comments:

Clock - Maybe, I want to see what interest there is, but really nobody cares as much about clock as they do OH. That's not my personal preference either, so we can be bitter together :P

2x2 - One round because otherwise we need to cut out another side event, when I'm trying to cover as much ground as possible in one day! If the venue is more flexible, either this or a round of clock is what I'll add first. A 2x2x2 final does only take 10 minutes after all :P

FMC - This is only happening because it's running at lunchtime. A "why not?" attitude.

Big BLD - I might have it so that anybody who wishes to do an attempt (ONE that is) at 4 or 5, may do so over lunchtime, therefore sacrificing FMC. I'll look more into this.

3x3 BLD - In my experience a 45 minute slot isn't going to be enough to have a best of 2/3 for everybody. Since BLD isn't all that popular with UK competitors, I am keeping it at best of 2. Sorry!

3x3 rounds - Semi will be 75% of the original competitors and the final will include probably 6 people or something tiny. (Don't ask me to do n-1 any more... the regulations have been changed).

That is quite harsh for megaminx, only 4 people in the UK have managed to get a sub-2:15 single and 2 of those people wont be there (me and Dan Harris)

From what I gather not that many people are bothered aboout megaminx
Correct me if im wrong on that statement

And I wont be there so do you really think it is worth having it?
To make time for other events

I may be able to get an average of 5, I average about 2:20 (PB single is 1:52.33), but I've never done megaminx in competition...
