UK Championship 2014

Just arrived back home in Dublin, thanks guys for a great comp!

Just to clarify, the 7x7 single wasn't too lucky, it was just really good tps and lookahead. The video should be up within the hour.

Can't wait for next year! WR HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!

- Aria and Johan are really cool - The Swedish National Anthem walk-on for 3x3 final was extremely funny.
- Hearing people pronounce the "J" in Johan was also quite amusing.

I thought that was the Swedish Anthem... Johan (was it Johann?) reminded me of Mats a bit in the final for various.

He was apparently talking to someone about how it would be pronounced "Johan", not "Yohan" in English since we pronounce our "J"s like that, but then they said it would still be "Yohan" in English because it's a name.
 
2x2: Lolno. I can't wake up early enough to do it xD
3x3: Bad first average, still made the second round cut though
3x3 2: Better average, unfortunately no new comp. PB
4x4: About average. New comp PB :D
5x5: Great average, great single too (Cube decided to lock during second solve so I DNF'd)
6x6: Was informed my cube was illegal :( Also I managed to pop the 6x6 I borrowed
7x7: Average. Plus a very happy Ciaran celebrating behind me xD
3x3OH: Very happy, PB comp single + avg

Kelsey Mckenna had 3x3 single at Northern Ireland for about 2 , 3 minutes, I took away from him of course :)


The 7x7 single is now up on speedsolving and youtube!

We had it for roughly the same amount of time then.

Lol yep..

This means I held skewb NR single for about 30 seconds because I was the first person from the UK ever to do a skewb solve :p

*First comp of the year after a new event has been added*
*Stand there with puzzle waiting for scorecards to be placed down*
*Place down*
*Hope to get scrambled first*
*Get NR for 10 secs*
*Worth it*
 
DYK:

- I went on a 40 minute round trip to the Post Office on Saturday morning, just to have my AoChuang for the competition?
- I finally have a clock NR!??!?!
- Scored Angham and Billy a few more fantasy cubing points?
- All my official averages this year were between 7.62 and 8.06?
- Will undoubtedly make next year 'sub 7.5 average, not NR' year? :P
- I was so absent this weekend?
- So sorry if I ignored you/seemed uninterested at any point?
- Ciarán continues to be excellent, 2:54 7x7x7 single wat?
- Got my 3rd ever sub 50 4x4x4 average in comp?
- It felt like way too many calls for extra judges were needed this weekend?
- People don't seem to realise that part of the reason rounds take as long as they do (and hence cutoff times/no. of places in later rounds) is because of this?
- Have now met pretty much everyone I know from the forums?
- Media crew seemed to disproportionately focus on feet solving which makes me sad?
- It came across like some artist who makes a silly sketch and that gets more attention than their actual work?
- But there are now close up shots of my hairy feet solving a cube with a twisted corner in existence?
- 7x7x7 makes a half-decent tripod?
- Although I didn't manage to catch much decent on film?
- UK skewb is becoming more competitive?
- We had 3 consecutive rounds containing UKNR's on Saturday?

Thanks to all those who made this competition a success, and the UK community in general for making the past two years so much fun. I'll see you all next year :)

I always waited for Mollerz to call for extra judges and then went up. :p Gotta make my DYK tomorrow.

I think I did judge you then, were you the one putting the red camera on the cube?
