Overall favorite: Virginia Open Spring 2014. When I got my 18 second OH average (which was second place), it was one of the happiest moments of my life. Then they added a second round, and I was nervous cuz i thought i wouldn't get second place again. Then I got a 17 second average and 2nd place again. I was going absolutely crazy with joy XD Plus the comp was really fun.

Absolutely the San Francisco Open 2009 held at the Exploratorium when it was still
in the Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina district.

The energy, crowd, and atmosphere was unforgettable. Unbelievable location.
Great job guys for pulling it off (some six years ago).
 
Overall Favorite: Harvard Fall 2014
Best results: Harvard Fall 2014. Didn't win or anything, but I wasn't disappointed with any of my 3x3 averages, which was really important to me. Raleigh Open 2013 is an honorable mention, didn't expect to place first at that one :)
