[WR] Patrick Ponce - 8.70 OH average of 5

[qwr]

I love it - zero table abuse! If it weren't for the two-handed inspection (which I'm sure wasn't necessary), this would have been a valid average in the early years of the WCA!

There was a little on solve 2, but it seems to me Patrick's accurate turning saves him time versus having to use the table to align

I guess I was debating with myself whether it actually touched the table on that solve or just almost did. On the single watching, I thought it didn't quite touch. Maybe that's just because I very much wanted it to be that way. Now I can see that yes, it probably did touch.

 

[any name you wish]

He also went on to get an ER in 7x7 I believe.
The comp overran by about 20 mins because of the extras that were given out because of his reactions.
Congrats Patrick!

No, that was Ciaran, if Patrick got a continental record in 7x7 it would be a NAR still (actually it would be wr).

That was Ciaran Beahan, Patrick couldn't ever get an ER since he's not from Europe (unless he changed nationality but I doubt he would ever do that)

Woah, congrats Patrick!

Well, I hope he doesn't so that I can keep my NRs and have a shot at ERs lol

Congrats on the NR, by the way. I saw the last few solves and knew it was a good average but didn't know it was NR.

What do you mean? Is two handed inspection not allowed?

Well, of course it is allowed now. But it was not allowed in the very early WCA regulations.
