UK Open 2009

uh, no it's not. that's by Jason Gyani. I think I'm number 2 with a 1.5 average or something awful. I normally average sub 1.10, just never happens in competition like that :D

I've sort of given up on the average, Just going to aim for good singles and if I happen to get the average that'd be nice. It's too easy to mess everything up with a DNF to worth worrying about.

It's ok, you only have to look through a couple of pages of my post history to find about 600 facepalm worthy things.

On-topic:
The 2x2 NR is going to smashed, considering there are 2 rounds :)

Yes it is, and you don't need to worry about me being in the 2x2 final. Since I didn't qualify for WC I stopped practising like mad. I MIGHT start again.. maybe.. I'll see after this weekend, side events are my priority for that :D Also, it's just so frustrating, you go to a competition, i.e. WC, and get a bloody 24s average and only one sub 20, then three days later you get a 16.72. SERIOUSLY. :confused:

I actually lol'd pretty hard. That emoticon is perfect (and 16.72 is nice).
How fast did you get then? You were clocking some pretty good averages on like the very first day of having modded your 2x2, just going on those you could beat the NR.
Talking of that, if you aren't in the final can I borrow it? xD I can guarantee that I'd be about a thousand times more trustworthy with returning it to you than you normally get when you lend people things :P (although that wouldn't very hard to do).
Gl with the weekend (and Pyra woooooo).
Are you going to the Hungarian or Dutch open?

I'm going to Dutch-a-lutch. Not sure why I would call it that, but it worked in my mind. I was averaging sub-5 80% of the time. Yes of course you can use the mod but it takes some getting used to. It's not as good as it used to be either, I think it needs lubing.

My goals for Dutch, which BETTER BLOODY HAPPEN GIVEN THIS WEEK'S TIMES AT HOME... sub-7 (at least) pyraminx average, and sub-5 single (I have had sub 5 average at home, but no single in competition megalolz :P) clock single/average NR and at least three sub 20 solves in competition. I don't care if this leads to a sub 20 average, I just think that's progress. I have two rounds of 3x3 to do it in also hopefully so fingers crossed!

Top 8 go through to final, and I know who are some of the likely candidates to make it :p

What average do you think you will need to get into the 3x3 final?

I would guess at sub 15 if not sub 14, competition seems reasonably stiff.

Oh damn ;).

Does someone want to look after me in my first comp?:D

Haha, sure :) There's not much to say really, just pay attention to the judges that call out your name while you're in the competitors area and make sure you don't leave any cubes or things you care about out in the open.
Also, make sure the stackmat has a red AND a green light before you let go... way too many DNFs happen like that (and I should know...);)
