Favorite competition that you've been to so far

[TMOY]

It still wouldn't be less than a minute away

Then build your own venue

 

[CubePro]

Never been to a competition . I'm new to cubing(2 months) and no competitions near me

 

[Dene]

Best results: Way too many comps... I guess Melbourne Winter 2012 because I finally got a decent 5x5 average. But I mean really, my results have been scattered. One particularly memorable comp was WCs 2011 when I did well in 6x6.
Shortest drive: Technically the closest competition to where I was living at the time was about a 10 minute walk away (I think Dan Cohen will win the record for this though). However I'd like to point out that I had been cubing for more than 4 years, and had been to literally 20 competitions, before my 21st comp was in the same city I was living (after I finally moved to Melbourne). So I think I earned the right to have local comps
Most people: I assume WC2013 but I'm not going to double check that.
Most exciting result: Toss up between my 4:50.11 3BLD solve, my 11.15 Square-1 single, and my 4:00.86 7x7 single.
Most unexpected round advancement: Nothing comes to mind. It's been too long since I cared.

Overall favourite: San Francisco Open 2009. Nostalgia much?

 

[Robert-Y]

Overall favourite: WC2015
I think that maybe anyone who attended that competition would say that this is also their favourite competition too

 

[Jont828]

My favorite (and only) competition I've been to would be US Nats 2015.

 

[YouCubing]

Ayyyy me and Ray have the same favorite and least favorite comp
I guess some negatives now.
Least Favorite: Atlanta Open 2015
Worst results: Peach State 2015
Longest Drive: US Nats 2015 (308 miles)
Least People: Music City Speedsolving 2015 (48)
Most disappointing result: Pyraminx @ Music City. (2 +2s, and a 12)
Most surprising round-not-advancement: 2 and 3 @ Atlanta Open, the organizers were running late so they had to cut down the number of finalists.

 

[DanpHan]

Well, I might as well give my negatives:
Least Favorite: US Nats 2014
Worst Results (overall): US Nats 2014
Longest Drive: US Nats 2014 (we flew for the Harvard comps)
Least People: Charlotte Open Fall 2014
Most Disappointing Result (do I really need to say it): US Nats 2015 3x3 semifinals -_- (YouCubing can't even come close to my fail level, but he can try )

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

Oh people are being negative now?

ok then
Overall least favorite: Indiana 2014 (it wasn't a bad comp, I liked it, but it just wasn't quite as fun because I didn't do very much competing.)
Worst results: UIUC Spring 2013 (absolute and relative, although I did alright)
Longest drive: Lawrence * * (281 miles)
Fewest people: Lawrence Open 2014 (35 pre-registered competitors)
Most disappointing result: Lawrence Open 2014 (DNF 2x2 single, but it could have been worse )
Most unexpected not round advancement: Lawrence Open 2014 (3x3 finals but I wasn't really expecting to make it, and I just put this because it was closest.)

[YouCubing]

YouCubing can't even come close to my fail level, but he can try

COUGH Didn't make cutoff COUGH
If you really want to know, I had high hopes about making the soft cutoff of 1:45. First solve, 1:51.515 (lol) and 2nd solve had about 5 pops, and I ended up DNFing because of the hard cutoff. Cube was not solved or assembled.

And, now for negatives:

I've been to two competitions. My favorite one was the second one because I won it.

The 5x5 final the Worlds in Bangkok was thrilling!
