All you guys had these goals like sub-10 and sub-15 second 3x3 solves and I would've been so excited to just average under 30 and get a single sub-20 solve. Lmao

If there is one important thing to remember about competitions is that it's all subjective; a sub 20 single could be amazing for one person but a (barely) sub 20 single could be terrible for someone else. You just have to practice to get fast and remember that everyone was at one point "slow", and they didn't just magically get fast.

When I heard that the Minnesota crew was taking all the score cards with them and doing data checking, I could have hugged everyone left in he room! That did not sound like the best thing in the world. With a couple other people, it shouldn't take to long, but on my own? Ouch.

Very true. I always say my only real competition is me. Obviously I'm competing with everyone else. But, the goals I set for myself are what I'm really focusing on. Even though so may people were so much faster than me, I had a ton of fun, and it was a great environment for my first competition. I didn't feel like anyone looked down on me, and I didn't come in last place either. Some of the cutoffs were so extreme, but I'm glad they existed. I'm planning on going to the Athens comp on March 19th already!!

I'm sure they are
My friend and I are planning it, since I live about an hour away from my parent's house (near where he will be then), and since that's at the end of his spring break week! We drove 6 hours for this one, so why not for Athens Spring?! I'm already excited!

Sorry guys, it was brought to my attention that a lot of times were recorded with the old hard cutoffs, and not the provisional lowered hard cutoffs.
After talking with some people, I'm heading back out later this evening to dnf those results, and resubmit, since that's the right thing to do.
Sorry everyone, the organizer team and myself have learned a lot, and will be structuring things much better in the future.
