The competition is now over. I had loads of fun hanging out with US cubers. This was my first 1-day USA competition, and I found it quite different from the ones I'm used to.

Team Canada podiumed in each event

Now I wish there was only one round of Pyra. I would have podiumed then. It's especially ironic because I was so excited to have 2 rounds before I knew about how badly I did in round 2.

Other than that, awesome competition! Please have another one there someday!!

Someone's SS Aurora found it's way into my bag, it has stock stickers and is pretty loose.

PM me if you think it's yours.

Okay, let's try this. DYK:

- I got the same scrambles in the first and second rounds of 3x3
- I was apparently the only one to do so
- Kian decided to give me some spare scrambles instead
- OH while armwrestling
- There is this guy, named Andre, who was telling everyone he was my brother?
- Yu-gi-oh?
- The venue was 6x better than Nats
- The skeb podium was faster than Euros
- Andy loves learning cool easy algs
- KC3 is now the Unofficial 3x3 World Champion
- Some kid I'd never heard of got a 4.67 Skewb average in the first round
- He normally avearages 8
- He got a PLL skip on 3/5 solves
- Just like US Nationals, I won the first round of two events, but failed really bad in the finals
- Phil saved money by podiuming in OH
- Owait, 3rd didn't get a gift card, so he didn't actually save money
- [looking on Euro cubecomps] "Oh, CR in this round!... oh, it's just Conor that got a slow AfR"
- Magics throwback with Zach
- Phil has ten 15 OH avgs and one 13 avg, but no 14 avg
- I have three 7 Skewb avgs, two 6s, three 4s but no 5s
- KC3 got a 1:03 5x5 single
- I still won with a 1:19 average
- Even though I average 1:24
- Zach got 3 Pyra LL skips in an average
- He still got a 6 average
- The timers there were absolutely terrible
- They didn't stop on 3/5 solves of my average in the finals, and lots of other times for me
- This was the first even competition when I had problems stopping timers
- I couldn't find Justin when he was right in front of me
- I couldn't find Collin when he was right beside me
- It was just a really fun day

Can't wait to try the skewb scrambles.

Can't wait to try the skewb scrambles.

They weren't all that easy. You just had to solve the layers right.

The last scramble was quite easy though. 2 move layer, slegehammer, U-perm.

Oh. It would still be interesting to try them, as some really good results came from them.

DYK:

...Louis got WR?
...Brandon(Huang)'s going to be really fast soon?
...THE RAGING BEAST?
...Louis got WR?
...JIMMY COME GET YOUR FOOD?
...Antoine got WR?
...Hey Antoine, did you know Louis got WR?
..."Yes, you already told me"?
..."Nathan! No, the other one"?
...If it weren't for lockups, I would be second in the world for mega single?
...Maybe even first?
...But my hands shake?
...Like a lot.
...Louis got WR?


It was a lot of fun.
