Yes. I got 2 DNF singles in a single average.

Everyone made fun of me and I cried for 2 weeks.

A few times but only 2-5 people completed at that event. I didn't care about my placing much.

The time I completed at feet I came last and first since I was the only one to do it at nz nationals 2013.

I came last for 4BLD, oh, and for 4x4 once because I messed up the first two solves, and then proceeded to do 4x4 OH for the third solve, K4 with no finger tricks for the fourth solve and no fingertricks for the last solve. My average was around 2 mins lol

I got last place in 2x2 at Harrow. I DNFed one solve then did a BLD solve on the 5th.

I hadn't solved a 2x2 since my previous comp and have now stopped wasting time and competing especially since I still use Ortega and most UK competitors use at least CLL.
