Vancouver Open '09

[Dave Campbell]

I have a question though. If say, someone like Hays, gets parity on his first square-1 solves and DNF's it as a result. Will he still be able to do a full average because of the 3:00 limit?

Time limits are done to stop the schedule from going too far out and take too long. I don't care what you do as long as you are not over the limit. If you DNF in 2:59, well you didn't go over the limit and can go again. But if you DNF in 3:00, you are done.

I hope that there will be merchandise, so i can get new cubes, because my cubes broke.

No merchandise. But if you ask me nicely, i may be able to come up with a type C for you.

Would you please bring a type c that i can purchase? Also a magic if possible. Thank you very much!

Don't get greedy. It was not an invitation for requests.

Sorry about that, Dave.

So if someone who average maybe 3:15 isn't doing well, and decides to DNF on purposes before 3:00, what happens?

Well then again I guess that's what judges are for!

Then he gets another solve. All the time limit is supposed to do is make sure that the competition doesn't fall behind schedule.

Well...

[Forte]

I just came home 30 mins ago

VO was tres fun. I got at least 1 DNF single in EACH event

"Did you know..." stuff will be posted soon


some highlights:

Desie got a nonlucky 10.35 (?) single on the 3rd scramble in the first round, then I got a 10.21 lucky single on the 5th scramble in the first round, then Ibrahim got a 9.56 nonlucky single eek on the 3rd scramble of the finals.

Justin got a 19.11 lucky OH single, and I got a 22.xx lucky OH single. Ibrahim had a 23.xx OH average in the first round O_o

Ibrahim now has the NR PB single and average from 5x5 to 7x7

 

[StachuK1992]

I got a 10.21 lucly single

PLL Skips FTW!

 

[Hays]

Ibrahim now has the NR PB single and average from 5x5 to 7x7

And he won 3x3 - 7x7 even with a pop on his 6x6 adding over a minute to his time.

I had a 8:xx.xx 4x4 solve (my cube broke) and a 1:25.xx magic solve (I had to parially restring it)

3 sub 10.5's?
I thought only the Toronto competitions were supposed to get times like those, not Vancouver.
zomg. Canada's getting faster.

And Justin got a 19 OH solve? Wtf, his OH single jumped over 200 places in the World rankings. From top 300 to top 60. haha.

Do I even have to mention Ibrahim? He pwnz at like, everything.

Btw, you forgot to mention that Justin got another sub 4 2x2 average.

Congrats everyone.

Oh, I almost forgot, did anyone beat a 13.76 3x3 average?

I have a goal for my next competition.

Btw, I just realized Justin's .01 outside of the 2x2 top 10 now.

Edit: Ibrahim got a 3.92 average in the first round lol.

 

[dbax0999]

Wow that was AWESOME!
I'm so inconsistent tho. 4 20's and a 13

Rawr

+10000000000

Pfft. Child's play. If I didn't +2 one of them it would have been mid-3.

and a 1:25.xx magic solve (I had to parially restring it)

I was your judge that was hilarious.

Justin got a 19.11 SUPER lucky OH single

Fixed.
