Waikato Autumn Open 2010

[Dene]

Hey guys,
This competition was just announced so I may as well make a thread for it.

Organiser: Joshua Brungar
Location: University of Waikato
Date: May 1

As far as I'm aware there isn't a particular schedule at this stage. Who's gonna come?

 

[Dene]

I'm just gonna bump this thread with this link to the homepage, and a request for more people to sign up!

Another bump with another update:

A tentative schedule is up, and entry fee has been removed. Anyone else??!!

Ans that schedule looks so nice. ~sigh~ why do I have to live too far away from this

This comp looks awesome. And 7 people so far, looks like a small comp, which would be awesome. I hope you can get past the 12 competitor minimum. 7 days until the comp

There isn't a 12 competitor limit.

 

[Tim Major]

There isn't a 12 competitor limit.

http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/
Article 8:
8a5) The competition should have at least 12 competitors.
Does the "should" mean it doesn't have to, just should, or has to? Anyway, I feel the smaller the competition, the better less competitors, more time/events, and also, less pressure

Its a possibility, if i can make my way to Waikato some how. I better make my mind up quickly if i really want to go, its not far away now.
Could an extra event be clock??

 

[Dene]

We could do clock, but only if you promise to bring Miss Emily.

ZB: the regulations used to say "must", but it was changed to "should". There has been at least one official competition with less than 12 competitors.

Inf3rno: But seriously, if you came it'd be really good. We need as many people as we can get, especially people that I can make help out more .

At this stage I'm hoping for a relatively laid back, slow and steady competition. We should be able to fit in a few extra events that people would like, and maybe do some fun stuff.

Dene you needa get a good sq1 average or else.

 

[Dene]

I've only been practising 3x3 speed though. That is the only thing I "care" about. By that I mean, I don't actually care about 3x3 speed, but I need to improve on my times anyway.

 

[Inf3rn0]

Its looking like i may be going, my mum will probably drive me up on Friday or something.
Emily could possibly come with us but i don't care. Im not at school Mon-Wed so i'm not really gona be able to contact her anyway.
When my parents are back later on today ill try get a definite answer of whether or not i can go.

 

[Dene]

Yay! Numbers are multiplying >.<

 

[Inf3rn0]

Im going!
Travelling up on Friday. I'm missing 4 days of school this week, not gona be fun catching up on calc >.<

Dene is there any way i can contact you like cell no. or something, so i can find the room its in if i get lost etc.? And do you need help with set up or anything like that?

Edit: I should probably register aswell

 

[Dene]

Alright! This is gonna be awesome.

 

[Faz]

Dene pwned up sq1 rite?

 

[Dene]

Nope. No good results from me. Although apparently I beat my best 4x4 single (which doesn't surprise me at all. Yet again the event I don't care about is the only one I "perform" in).

The biggest surprise at this competition was a young girl named Angelu who came second with a low 20 average. This was kinda outta nowhere.

 

[Faz]

Did you even sub 15 avg Dene?
