Oh, and there were two mystery events - putting a ball into a cup (Dave's tribute/ode to Magic), and the 15 puzzle. The ball in a cup one was hilarious.

Also, Eric got the 2x2 NR single with 1.55 I believe.
This comp was a ton of fun, probably the most fun I've had yet. Thanks everyone for making it a great time!
EDIT: Harris also got the 5x5 NR single I think, 1:32.xy.
It was preceded by a 1:36 (also both NR's) from Brendon and Jack.

Agreed! Definitely one the most fun competitions yet. The finals were epic, and most of did horriblyOriginally Posted by Yalow
I did so badly in every event, but I don't mind at all because it was really really fun
Jack broke the NR with a 1:36.9x them, Brendon got a 1:36.6x (?), then about half a minute later, Harris got 1:32 (?)
Eric's 1.52 2x2 single isn't just NR - it's a NAR!
Oh, and I also recorded the ball-in-a-cup mystery event, so I'll be uploading that to youtube soon.

I saw you during the 5x5x5 round.I just registered, so sorry all you people
I will be visiting my aunt who lives in Canada and will be staying there for a while. So I thought why not break my previous sucky NRs? Lol
I still made it in time right?
I said "hi Nitrocan" a few times but you didn't hear me ._.
Awesome competition, definitely worth coming all the way from Texas!
The competition was definitely the most well run I've been to so far. You did a spectacular job Dave!
It was really cool meeting a bunch of Canadian cubers I had spoken to online. Canada's not much different from the US really. Except a bunch of people say "eh" at the end of every sentence and they say "X Y Zed". lol.
I had a 1.55 2x2 single, ridiculous. I did pretty good in OH in the first round, 27 average and 23 single. 3x3 was EPIC fail for me in the first round, 18.21 I think. Second round was slightly better, 16.xx average, but still pretty bad. Then the final was intense. We basically went 1v1 with a big crowd of people watching and at least 15 people videotaping. I started off pretty good, 13 14 13.. Then I choked, 17 and 16. :/ Meh, 14.95 average, finally sub 15 so I can't complain.
Harris is insanely consistent. He kept up his 11 second average streak, now he has 11 straight sub 12 competition averages.
Eric didn't do his best. I was cubing with him the two days prior to TOS and he had a bunch of 10-11 averages with sub 10 singles. Oh well, he'll do better at C3 or CO.
Anyway, pretty long post, but everything's bigger in Texas right?
Fun meeting everyone and I hope to compete with you again. I'll plan for it next summer!

It was great to meet you in person Anthony, you were a lot of funWatching you and Eric team BLD was awesome.
I'm a bit disappointed in how I did on that 2x2 scramble, I should have been faster, but oh well. Overall I was happy with my 2x2 performance.
The finals were so fun! I thought it was cool that we went up in twos. That was great. I hope we get to do that again in the future. Not that it's likely I'll make it again for a while
'Twas nice meeting you Anthony
btw... U L' U2 R U R' U2 L
That is truly amazing.
@ Justin - Yeah, you were really cool Justin. I might just learn full CLL because of you. Again, congrats on 1st, you deserved it. Also, nice sneak into the 3x3 Final, I'm sure that felt great.
@ Sarah - You're even cooler in person than you are online.
And yeah, that's the alg I wanted.
