University of Nottingham Open 2014 - Feb 22/23 - UK Comp!

That's what I thought, although cubecomps says NR. Bad luck Ollie :(. Also, well done to CHJ for 12/13 and overtaking me.
Thanks, Im happy with 9th in the world :) Considering it was my first big attempt in a month, the most I've ever tried and that it was at a safety solve speed. Perhaps a race to 30/30 with Grzegorz is on the cards?
 
2x2: lol no
3x3: ok I guess, so close to sub 15 but I'll just call it that.
4x4: I choked something big...
5x5: see above
6x6: sup 4 >.> was really tired at the end of the day and then hearing that the avg cut was 4 mins a couple moments before my solve didn't help
7x7: HELL YES avg AND single PB at comp... didn't expect that.


DYK:
-UK comps are really good places for buying cubes.
-I finally got a red cap on my Fangshi!
-Breandan thought he messed up ER average on 5x5, but he got the ER single the very next (?) solve
-CHJ destroyed feet
-Mollerz has a really loud voice - just what a delegate needs
-No fire alarm during 4BLD
-BLD early in the morning is really tiring
-Angus got AR
-Sub-20 average got you nowehere near 2nd round, despite that being the general consensus in UK comps - really high standard all around.
-A1 is a very small room...until you realize there is another room behind the wall.
-Ciaran is getting scary fast at everyting...
-Ollie's 22/27 drew the biggest crowd, particularly as he drew nearer the hour mark.
-Ryan came prepared
-Rowena missed out on competing a foot average by 1 second
-I missed out on sub 15 by 0.03 seconds
-Alex missed out on 3x3 ER average by 0.03 seconds
-Callum Hales Swag
-My weisu is an Aosu? (and then it's not)
-Scrambling 7x7 should be an event of it's own...
-But 6x6 is worse, I popped the one I was scrambling
-Realizing his final 5x5 solve was slower than his slowest up to that point following a pop, Jong-ho-jeong proceeded to solving the rest of the cube OH...and still got a 1:46...
-Skewb generated a lot of clapping
-*Clapping random solves*
-Smart phone timers are generally preferred by competitors than stopwatches these days...
-Agassi is 0.01 off leet.
-With the addition of Alex's latest sub 7, the top 100 results are all at 7 seconds or under: https://www.worldcubeassociation.or...gionId=&years=&show=100+Results&single=Single
-Another fantastic UK comp and thoroughly looking forward to the next!

OK so I have an LG USB Phone Charger that was left at the venue, if it is yours, or you know who it belongs to, PM/Email the comp email please.
If there are errors with the results, send an email to the competition email address and I'll forward it to the delegate to get it checked and fixed.

So tired.....
More to follow tomorrow :b
 
DYK:

- You lot are the nicest bunch of people in the world. I really mean it.
- Erik Akkersdi-juh-kuh's name gets pronounced in lots of funny ways.
- 22/27 is totally mind-blowing
- Apparently I look like Michael Erskine. I don't see it, myself.
- I didn't come last in everything I entered! I did come last in pyraminx, 4x4, FMC. And Megaminx. Oh wait, no, that one was Michael.
- Adam Greenwood is a lovely man. And he likes to chat while he solves.
- I missed the cut on OH by 0.7 seconds.
- Time moves faster when you're doing FMC. Much faster.
- Erik's ready to solve before he's even sat down.

Thanks to all the organisers! Fantastic weekend.
