In Poland there are 4-5 major events in speedcubing per year:

Few month ago I was on one of that events (I think it was my 5th time),
and with result around 26 sec I was 44th from 45 competitors :P ( I
mostly helped with organisation and was a judge). It is always great fun
and great people there (we have many World/European Champions, World
Record holders).

Some time ago there was article about Polish champions in rubik’s
competitions http://pokazywarka.pl/kostkarubika/ (it is in Polish but
videos speaks for themselves). My contribute into 4D Rubik cubes was
also mentioned :)

Then is comes to Hypercubing contest you can count on me and Mateusz
Burnicki (I’ve spread the words on Polish Speedcubing Forum so mayby
there will be more response).

Some suggestion how to make the contest:

• it is good to coordinate the whole contest via some communicator
  (skype, gtalk)
  
• at some point Melinda (or other judge) gives link to the file (or
  sends file through communicator) and starts the time
  -after solving persons sends back log (drag and drop in communicator):
  and this record of time gives whole time solving (and after checking
  correctness of the log judge confirms time)
  -3^4 only with macros
  -2^4 hmmm let’s try it without :) that can be interesting
  -I think that downloading->opening and saving->sending will consume
  15-20 seconds at most (considering times around 20-30 minutes it’s not
  too much).

I also haven’t practised: It will be hard to repeat my old results
around 20 minutes( with macros). One month time it’s good idea :)

All the best,
Remigiusz
