UK Open 2011

[MichaelErskine]

I'll be driving down from Nottingham and probably staying at the excellent YHA on the quayside. There may be a space or two in the motor - not sure yet!

 

[Kirjava]

omg you're not AWOL :O :O :O

Absent perhaps kir, but not Without Leave: I've been busy building Nottingham Hackspace (and doing various electronics projects).

 

[Kirjava]

Sounds more productive

If you haven't already noticed, this comp is now official
Website doesn't have much on it atm, but should be updated with more info on accommodation, travel, venue etc soon.
I'll be working on the schedule during the next week or so and then once that's up registration can open.
I am currently open to suggestions for what the last event (official or unofficial) on the Sunday should be (3x3 looks like it has to be Saturday). Last year we had head-to-head as the last event. Anyone got any other ideas?

 

[Muesli]

Anyone got any other ideas?

Solving a 3x3 with a twisted corner whilst everybody else flicks elastic bands at you.

 

[MichaelErskine]

Anyone got any other ideas?

Uh, something I'm good at...

that would have to be something that is nothing to do with speedcubing!

Set up a half pipe in the room?

Team BLD

Also, no 6x6 or 7x7?

 

[~Adam~]

I should enter before it's too late this time (Guildford fail).

Anyone got any other ideas?

poc = pint of cider (could replace with apple juice for those under 18)

Ideas from Robert-Y:
Team step solve races
Team solve races
Team step solve races with x cubes going round each team of x people
Team relay

 

[Robert-Y]

This is what I meant for team relay:

 

[Godmil]

That's a pretty cool idea.

 

[Selkie]

I agree that looks like fun. But who draws the short straw and gets me :rolleyes:

 

[Mollerz]

That looks like a great idea and would definitely be fun to do.

Also...

WHERE MAH BIG BLIND EVENTS

WHERE MAH BIG BLIND EVENTS

I don't understand. They are there...

EDIT: They're not on WCA because I didn't write those down when I wrote to them. They will be there

Damn , there goes my ambition of competing in all events. Must figure 4x4 BLD soon

 

[cubersmith]

LOL Team relay looks really cool.

 

[ben1996123]

If I registered, then decided that I wanted to compete in something else, could I still be entered in the extra stuff?
