Macclesfield Open 2016 [UK] - 30-31 July

[ryanj92]

Thanks for a fantastic comp guys, even if I could only make one day of it.

Beat my clock average by over a second, 4x4x4 PB's went from 45/49 to 39/45, and 6x6x6 from 3:23/3:32 to 2:59/3:12. So yeah, pleased with my results!

See you in a month

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.

Did get clock single PB, but DNFed average, sow I'll have to get that one in Sheffield.
Sub-25 3x3 single, but ruined my avg, so sub-30 average will come up at ABHC.
Managed to shave 0.03s off of my 2x2 PB, despite not touching it for 4 months.
Finally made soft cut for OH
Messed up all of my 4x4 solves again.

So all in all a good comp


Much fun was had, comp went smoothly, good venue, so can't complain really

Who are you in real life @1973486?

Don't reveal his identity, he'll get banned again lol.

Really wish I could've made it to this one. Hope to see you all in October!

Don't reveal his identity, he'll get banned again lol.

Or give away his identity by revealing that he was once banned before?

He's not the only UK cuber to be banned before haha.

 

[Ollie]

He's not the only UK cuber to be banned before haha.

He didn't say he was from the UK either, so you've just narrowed it down to like two or three people.

Thanks Shaky! Now I know where I went wrong with my MBLD attempt -- it was such a stupid thing: I memoed U instead of V in my final pair of corner targets. And I really should have spotted it during execution because it was a corner twist... Ah well.

Thanks everyone for coming, it was a pleasure to organise. As for future Macclesfield based competitions, I am hoping to make it an annual thing, if I can get the venue that is!
