For the Nationals "app" webpage on TheCubicle, for some reason it won't let me go on the "Results" tab unless I tell it to allow unsafe scripts, and then it gives me a ton of warnings.

Correct.
It's because of cors. Whoever made it (stachu?) failed on that part although I'd expect it to have been working before they released it.
Although it works perfectly fine on mobile.....

It's on.

I'm wearing an "eat sleep cube" shirt and don't look that much different from my profile pic.

I had an odd FMC solution that was 47 moves. Unfortunately, I was in a rush and wrote 4 of the last 5 moves down wrong. My goal for tomorrow is to get 2 successes. We'll see. Here is my "solution":
Scramble: R' U' F L' B2 R' U2 L2 R2 F2 R B' L2 B D R' D2 B' D U F2 U2 R' U' F

Solution:
F R' F L F' B //Cross (6)
U2 R' U R U' R' U' R B' U B //F2L-1 and F2L-2 (11)
F U2 F' U L' U' L //F2L-3 (7)
U2 z' //Okden (1)
L U L' U L U2 L' //OLL? (7)
y R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U R U R' F' //PLL [failed] (14)
B' //Alignment

The underlined portion should have been: F' L' U L.

This would have been awesome if it were correct. Not that 47 is great, but who doesn't love that ending?

In general, the first day of Nationals was fun. I got pretty good times in all of my events (5x5 was slightly disappointing though, missed the cutoff by 0.59 ). Many records were set. lookie ↓

• Mats Valk: Dutch NR 5x5 Average, 1:00.57
• Bill Wang: Canadian NR BLD Single, 31.57
• Mats Valk: Dutch NR OH Single, 9.88, and Average, 13.19
• Mats Valk: Dutch NR Sq1 Average, 14.24
• Antoine Cantin: Canadian NR Sq1 Single, 9.75

• Gianfranco Huanqui: SAR 5BLD Single, 11:52.00
  
• Mark Boyanowski: NAR MBLD Single, 56:44.00

• Juan Pablo Huanqui: WR Megaminx Single, 35.50, and Average, 40.94

No, one of the top 3 biggest competitions ever will not have free WiFi, unlike 70-person local competitions that do.
/s

Euro 2016 had no wifi.

Euro 2016 had no wifi.

I find that extremely surprising.

My second FMC was a success at 42 moves.

lol Brandon Mikel Got three 69 solutions in FMC, If one other person got an average, he would have placed 69th with a 69 average.

Thank you for confirming that I am not the only person who noticed that.

3x3 second round is this morning. I really want a good average to make it to the semifinal.

 

[gateway cuber]

Did you notice that John Brechon got a 6 single and a 10 average? The next sub-mitch joke?

Pavan got a mid 5 without a sub-9 average

My brother got two 68s, if his first was 68 he would have been 68th with 3 68s and Brandon would have been 69th with 3 69s

true

Amazing livestream for the 3x3 finals, guys. Awesome job making it work, Lucas.

Edit: I was feeling the Burns after that first solve.

Edit: Lucas, just run that ad already haha.

Edit: Fun fact: the Cubedepot ad ran seven times during the top 2 seeds.

Edit: Eight and counting.

I was at US Nationals 2016 for all 3 days and on the 2nd, I bought a Shengshou Aurora Megaminx, but I don't know if someone stole it or if I lost it myself. If any of you that went to US Nats has a extra SS Aurora Mega that is not yours, please let me know.
