UK Open 2011

[Mr.Toad]

Hi everybody. I was thinking whether to go on Friday night (arrival at 21:00) or Saturday (arrival at 08:45). Does anybody else arrive about one of those times at the airport? I wanted to check how to go from there to the hotel, but the website is down at the moment.

If everybody is going to gather on Friday night, I prefer to go that day, otherwise, I will go on Saturday.

I'm also looking for somebody to share a room (1 or 2 days, depending on what you answer to the question above).

And one last thing, any recommendation regarding currency exchange?

my plane arrives at 2100 Fri so if you take the same flight I can take you to the hotel (if you are staying in one of those near the venue)

for currency stuff, just pop into a random bank or post office. I normally use AIB or Ulster Bank. They should all have Sterling cash and the rate is mostly the same. Don't use the exchange point in the airport or any other Bureau de Change stores because they are much more expensive than in banks or post offices.

The website seems fine to me. http://flyer.bristolairport.co.uk/index.php is the website for buses from the airport. You can check the route map to see whether it goes near your hotel. Have you registered? We are already at capacity, so you can only go on the waiting list if you haven;t...

Nice, I will probably take the Friday one :tu

Daniel, the website is OK now but it was down when I posted. Also thanks for the link. And yes, I'm registered.

I will wait a couple of days before I book a room, just in case somebody is still looking for a roommate.

 

[kinch2002]

The waiting list is now closed as well. All people who are on it at the moment will be allowed to compete too You'll get emails and stuff shortly confirming that you're in.

Schedule will be finalised within the next week

Does anyone have a new spare assembled Zhanchi/Lingyun/Guhong/AV that can sell to me? My Zhanchi's edge piece just got popped and I couldn't find it anywhere after 1 hour's search on my floor I'm not aware of the price, so any reasonable price would be fine

 

[5BLD]

On the competitors spreadsheet have you moved the guest column down or something? I had 3 guests but it now says I have none...

Yeah I probably screwed it up when I took someone out. I'll fix it or something if I can be bothered

Could anyone lend me a 5x5 for the comp? Mine is currently in pieces in a plastic bag :s

Because there is no set time for 4bld/5bld, if I missed an event to do 4bld, could I do the event I missed as soon as I finish, or would I have to miss it?

It would be better if you didn't miss an event entirely. For example, on the day request to go in group 1 of some event, then do 4bld then hopefully you'll still be in time for the next event

I think that I might want to go to this competition but as usual it's difficult for me to make up my mind a long time in advance. How long is the registration open?

Unfortunately I think registration is completely closed - only the people on the current waiting list are just now being allowed to go - and I don't think any new submissions for the waiting list can be made. PM/mail Dan.

Well... I'd probably have to do it in 3x3 first round then, because I'm guessing it will probably take me around an hour.

Edit: What is the time limit for 4bld?

Sure. If we are in the same group it will have to be my black, well broken in v5. If you are in a different group then you will also have the choice of my black ShenSshou 5x5. I'll only be doing 2 solves anyway. No way I am making the average cut in 5x5.
