Ha ha!

that's a good point, but I still don't like to be ignored. I won the biggest most important competition of my life over the weekend and yet Rob is getting the recognition for winning. But still congrats to him for becoming uk champ because he thoroughly deserves itAt least Ciaran's achievement is recognised in the community, who are the only people who really care anyway.
And congrats to you for the win. That final average was great to watch!that's a good point, but I still don't like to be ignored.

Both winners deserve credit and respect for their achievements. The purpose of a UK Championship is to decide a UK Champion. Rob won the UK Championship title as the fastest UK entrant. Ciaran won the tournament on the day and is credited with that on the WCA site, but is not from the UK so not eligible to be UK Champion. That's not too difficult a concept to grasp or accept, is it? The rules were clear before the competition, so non-UK cubers can choose not to enter if they think it's unfair to them.Why do we do the whole "title" thing anyway? I think it's pretty stupid. You won, and Rob did not.

Technically the UK champs is meant to crown the best UK speedcuber, but you cant exclude competitors based on nationality, so this is the only way to do it. It's just like how it's done for US nationals.
I think BIC would be fine but what if the same thing happened except a french competitor won for example? How should we handle all foreign competitors who actually win an event?
Dat +2 in the finals would have been 11.04 avg, and I would have been 6th instead of 9th, oh well!
Give the big gold trophy to Ciarán because he won. Observe that Rob was the fastest UK entrant. He is called "UK Champion".

Have an AWESOME time. I'm feeling a good comp here. Yes
Foreign competitors have the chance to win UK competitions almost once a month all throughout the year.
All we ask is for one competition per year so that we can name our champion... AND we still let you compete because we're so nice!
