UK Open 2010

[Robert-Y]

I'm probably gonna do everything apart from BLD and fewest moves (not averageable! )

 

[Sebastien]

We aren't sure about FMC yet.

Any news for this? Sorry if there was already mentioned something, but I didn't wanted to read all 19 pages.

I might come

Btw, there won't be Bristol Open in November then I guess?

Yes Sébastien, it will be 6-7th November in Bristol. Normally I would do another competition in November but as the UK Open will be here it is stupid to do two competitions in the same city two weeks in a row!

 

[CharlieCooper]

Ok, its on WCA website now.

No registering as yet though.

No, Ron is waiting for the website to be updated and then registration will open. I will deal with this and talk to the relevant people this afternoon/tomorrow.

 

[CharlieCooper]

Hmmm, should I add about £50 on top of the cost of the hostel? Should that cover Saturday night and any cubing expenses?

Lol, just work it out! Nobody can tell you how much you'll want to spend on food/drinks/cubes, so just work that out and add it to the cost of any travel and hostel. If in doubt bring a bit extra to be sure!

Will Saturday night be the only thing organised that would require money?

Hostel+travel+food+cubes+Saturday night?

Sorry about the questions, I get really nervous and stuff. :/

Well, we'll do something on Friday night and Sunday night too probably, but if you aren't hanging around for that then I wouldn't worry about it. Usually we just go and eat then go to a pub and/or mine.

I'm like you but I dont need to ask these questions because you are asking them for me haha

 

[flan]

yep its gonna be ma first comp...

 

[MichaelErskine]

but I'll only be 14 on staurday night...

No worries: I'm 40 - that's old enough for both of us to get served if we split the difference :tu

 

[MichaelErskine]

does anyone have an mf8 megaminx they are willing to selll?

I have a MF8 Type-1 megaminx but you probably don't want that!

Michael, how much would you like for it?
The Violet C4Y I bought off you is my main 3x3 and the Minx is my best.

I'm not sure how much it's worth now that better minxes are available so cheaply - it pops like crazy but it has cool tiles - try it out at the comp and see if you think you want it.

It's my 3rd.

Thanks Joey.

Wow your good! Why dont you display it?

 

[Robbytrooper]

I'm really looking forward to it, it's only second competition and I'm crap but I look forward to being less crap than I was last time because I've been practising!

... and seeing nice people who aren't crap!

So it turns out that I'm not allowed people to stay in my accommodation according to uni rules... Sorry guiz -__-

Ah, that's quite usual for uni halls of residence -- OK, so I strongly recommend that anyone needing accommodation get over to the YHA website and secure themselves a reasonable bed.

Don't try to wing it -- it'll fail!

Lol and you are surprised by this? They all say this IN CASE THERE IS A FIRE. You can just be stealth if you want/need to, seriously, everyone does it.

 

[Toad]

Well I can be a back up if people can't get other accommodation. I'm quite out of town anyway so it wouldn't be the best place.

In Italy during Italian Open 2010 the four of us (Bence, Brúnó, Milán and me) stayed in a hotel, and I booked a room with 3 beds, thinking one of us will stay on the floor on a sleeping bag. On the second day they found our sleeping bag and they charged us for an extra 100 euros (2 nights for a single room).

Yeah, we are that noob.

On topic: I still don't know how to get there, but two things are quite sure:

- I'm going to be there!
- Bence is coming with me.
