6x6 and 7x7 take so long. Admittedly, some people love them, but I don't think it's worth it for how long they take. If JDL refuses to clear up, I happily will!!
 
I'd love to join for pizza on Saturday. Do they also have extra spicy ones that make you tremble?

I'm not doing 6 and 7 but I actually enjoy scrambling them and challenging myself to get the scramble right. At German Open I had a great time just scrambling 6's and 7's all evening, although I had a cool scramble partner sitting next to me to chat with (Macky) and Charlie made sure I was never out of beer.

Don't know if that helps sorting out the schedule... :p
 
Christ almighty this thread is larger than the Euro thread and we're still a month away from the competition!

Any cool/NR breaking goals for this comp?
I know I'd at least like not to fail at 3x3 like I have done in every comp so far.

Unless there's any dark horse with master magic - I want that avg NR. I can smash sub2.9 avgs 12 for fun now, soo......

Also, if I'm only coming with Brett, I should be available to scramble every category, except Pyraminx. I'm not a fan.

My mum and my sister. Also i dont suppose you have another guhong like your amazing one i could maybe borrow/buy? That cube is just wow. and mine is too loose now:/

as for 6&7, i think most people would preffer 2 rounds of 4&5. Also, that way Rob/Chris has more chance of getting the 4x4 NR back:P
 
Ok, I've decided, we are scrapping 6 and 7.

Nobody is fussed enough and even though fewer people are competing in other side events like clock, square-1, there are people coming that really care about those whereas nobody seems to be bothered about 6 and 7. James, you said that you want an official mean, but to be honest the cut offs would be crazy low and the whole thing a tad pointless :p This means there is scope for a few small finals of 5 people. I'm back from my taxing day of shopping and I'm onto the schedule again. It'll go up in the next couple of hours, provided I'm not assassinated.

Dinner is very much limited by where has space for us, and I know that Pizza Express should. Failing that there is one of my favourite places... Zero Degrees, which has a similar menu but TERRIBLE lighting (uh oh) and is a bit more expensive so I'm not sure how people feel about that. Google away. I shall think of some other alternatives too.

Breandan - Have you any spare Gu Hongs that are actually alright that I can buy from you? I'm probably not as fussy as you when it comes to cubes and I'm kind of desperate to get a better cube to practise on before the comp!

Oh hmm..probably not too good to crash in with your family :p

Sadly I only have one Guhong..but if you wanna borrow it for the day it's totally fine..you can just let me use one of yours, I think they're not bad. Though if you don't like the stickers you can resticker it with your own stickers (mine are chipping off anyway). But then that'll be like giving me a set of free stickers :p

You have made it very difficult for us, but that is my goal :)

I think it's a good decision to forget 6/7 this time since we have cubers capable of getting WR/ER/NR in other events and it would be a shame not to give them much opportunity.

Count me in for dinner on Fri/Sat too!

yes:) I have 2 spares. You can have the one with an old A core, its not as good but the red face explodes on the other one sooo... If you have an a5 core lying around (or better, an a3 which i think is what Amos's has) it will be better. If you want it before the competition just pm/e-mail me your address and i'l send it to you

Ahhh legend Breandan. Will PM you my address! Just let me know how much you want for it (I don't actually own an A5 so the core that is in it will do.).

Amos, I need to calculate the space on my floor since a few people won't come anymore, but I may have space for you. I'm waiting to hear from Frank and Aili about whether or not they'll come.

No worries :) Your colour scheme is not bad too. I'll probably get another Guhong though so I may use that for comp.
Somehow I'm sucking with this cube right now though..you should try it before the comp to see if you still like it...heh :p
I don't mind crashing with your family..it's just one night..as long as they don't mind :)

Toad - let me smash out the magics, then I'll relieve you if you want. I have vast amounts of teaching experience lol. Brett is slow on the uptake you see.

Charlie - Very happy with the schedule. Good job, well done.:tu
