Macclesfield Open 2016 [UK] - 30-31 July

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

Changed my mind about a couple of events, please may I be removed from 6x6 and added to FMC?

On other matters, I have a rubbish phone (Amazon Fire ... didn't seem like such a bad idea at the time) and can't get Pokemon Go to work. I'm not too bothered, but if I still don't have any success then a pint (or equivalent) for anyone that can sort it out.

There's a good possibility that I may only be around for the Saturday. I'm once again in a bit of a penniless situation, and am not feeling too great about the idea of paying a hotel bill right now.

Bump, I noticed this hadn't been updated yet on WCA.

Goals:
-3BLD sub-1 mean
-Overtake Mollerz in metric KinchRanks (KinchRanks without feet)

I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the comp at all, unfortunately. Making this the first UK comp that I have missed since I started attending comps. Oh well, it was a good year running.

Good luck everyone!

Okay, I'm still just going to come for the Saturday so can I be removed from all except: Clock, 2x2, Pyraminx, 4x4, 6x6.

Looking to whet my appetite ahead of ABHC!

Goals:
Clock - don't fail
2x2x2 - sub-4 pls
Pyraminx - not practised in months lol
4x4x4 - 45/50
6x6x6 - 3:15/3:30

Both done.

Goals time:

• 4x4: PB single and average (which means my real goal is to get at least one sub 1:30 single)
• MBLD: 4/4
• BLD: PB single
• 6x6: Get a single
• Skewb: Sub 10 single

First competition for a while for me and the boy... looking forward to seeing you all again.

 

[TDM]

Goals for Macclesfield:

3x3: Sub-10 average/Sub-9 single
4x4: PB average
2x2: Sub-2 single
3OH: Sub-18 average/sub-16 single
3BLD: Mean, PB single - sub-1:20?
MultiBLD: 10 points

Exams made me so much slower that I don't think most of these are possible. New goals:

3x3: Sub-11.5 average/sub-9.5 single
4x4: PB average
2x2: Sub-2 single
3OH: Sub-18 average/sub-16 single
3BLD: success
MultiBLD: success

EDIT: and please can I borrow a blindfold from someone again?

Goals:

Clock: sub 14.30 single, sub 17.19 avg (so I get placed 11th in The Netherlands, right behind Mats)

Other events: PB's would be nice, but not too fuzzed tbf.

 

[ryanj92]

Is anybody selling any cubes/are any shops attending? I'm in the market for some new 5x5x5+ to replace my dying ShengShou puzzles...

I have a Weipo (2x2), Weilong GTS (3x3), and Bochuang (5x5) available to buy, all black plastic and unopened.

Nice - can I have first dibs on the Weilong and the Bochuang? What do you want for them?

"Right behind Mats". I'm sure that there's some kind of joke I could make about that but I just can't bring myself to be that crude.

I'll be arriving on Friday if anybody is about and fancies a(some) pint(s), if not then see you all Saturday!

Check your PMs.

 

[kinch2002]

Anyone got a spare bed for Friday night?

 

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

I'm there tomorrow from around half 6 at the Travelodge. Up for hanging out in a pub with whoever is around.

 

[TDM]

I'll be getting to the Travelodge in about half an hour I think. Is anyone else getting there this early?

I've been trying to get in contact with a new UK based cube shop, but he hasn't been replying to my e-mails so I dunno if he'll come.

 

[Alex holt]

Both done.

Cheers Evan
