Well, I had a BLD record of 0/9 in BLD at Stanford. :(

First 4x4x4: 7:30 (memo without final review: 3:20), off by some chunk, probably 2 or 3 wrong moves.
2nd 4x4x4: Off by 4 edges (5? Anyhow, better than my 3x3x3 attempts later)
3rd: Gave up at the end of centers, I had cycled some wrong pieces, an would have to retrace half a dozen centers...

3x3x3: Bad, Bad, Bad
Multi: Bad, Bad, Bad (10 min limit? Come on!)
 
Lucas, after all you got national Records at 3x3 single and average, better times at 4x4 single and average, 5x5 average, which are all not marked but I just checked it because I was at the German Nationals and Stefan got about same average bit little slower ^^ gratz for that!
But sorry for BLD that realy sucks, so many DNF...

Back to Topic, Gratz Rama for the WR, maybe next time sub-20, I hope it for you. Also another WR for Erik, seems to get normal for your competitions ^^

Sweden had a good day, Gunnar, Daniel (KConny) and Magnus (Claesson) all broke their PB's. Gunnar who was second in the competiton also set a new NR average.

Thank you all guys. :P
The competition was very awesome, as same for the location.
The final scrambles for the 3x3x3 was so awfull that ''we'' should sue the scrambler. :D

1st: relaxed
2nd: even more relaxed
3rd: too relaxed, I told to Joël that I needed to go a bit faster
4th: relaxed and non lucky sub-17. :)
5th: again relaxed

It was an very nice average and I didn't even expected this. :)
Now I can finally concentrate for the 5x5x5! :D

I was just following orders ;)

Benelux Open 2008 was a great tournament. The venue was great, everybody was staying at that venue (not spread over different hotels), breakfast/lunch/dinner was all arranged and food/drinks/snacks during the competition was free.

Everything was set for some great results...........................so I did.
Finally got my sub 25 average (24.26) using keyhole+4LLL and good results for 5x5x5 (2:15.46 single and 2:25.86 average). FMC was not a good result (40) because I ran out of time. I found a 17 move F2L start that had about 20 variations. Guus tried afterewards and the third variation we tried (19 moves F2L) had a 10 moves LL that he knew. Team FMC should really become official :)
 
Its was a great competition. I guess it was my lucky tournament
FMC: pll skip
3x3 18.05: pll skip
5x5 2:33.63: pll skip my OLL was F R U R' U' R U R' U' F'

and i broke my PB avg in comp for the 3x3 was 18.20 and now 17.01
im was happy with my results

And for team FMC count me in then :)
 
I can belive that Magic for me was so bad.
Stille for some reson I won with 0.01 sec to Kai and 0.02 to Ooms.
Else it was a good weekend for me. I had Nordic 5x5 record for 4 min till Gunnar beat me again. And my practice on Megaminx payed off, now I only have 1½ min to go :P

Thanks for a great weekend all who was there.

Henrik
 
Yeah guys...

It was a nice weekend. The Greek food was great.

Meeting Kai again was also very cool! Too bad he didn't achieve his potential at BLD.... Keep on going Kai!!

I think many people made small improvements in PB's and NR's and stuff like that... Plus, playing the Revolution with 6 ppl was fun :). And pillow fights and Greek food were nice too!

Team bins!!
 
This weekend was very nice indeed.
We focussed on having fun a bit more than usual and that was like a perfect combination I think, plus it helps your times too! :P
It was great seeing Rama FINALLY getting what he deserved so much, I'm so happy for him!
Further I felt sorry for Kai, he did awsome times unofficial but had 2 flipped edges on the 1:09 and I felt sorry for me with 3 flipped corners on 1:44 BLD :p
 
That was indeed too bad for Kai, I hope he can correct it at his next competition.
''a bit more''!? You mean a lot more Erik! First solve in the first round we both used Japanese color-scheme, you walking around the table with the Megaminx and many more...
We should do this every competition, it made me feel very relaxed. :)
