Swedish Cube Day(s) Competition 2009

Too bad Henrik's average was in the first round, in the final he DNF:ed :fp , and Oskar Å only did 2.32 in the first round missing the final.
Teemu Tiinanen won with a 1.52 ave.

Some of the NRs
Mats Bergsten successfully solved 5BLD twice(!), 2nd time was 23:47.
Tomas Kristiansson Square-1 ave 18.18
Mattias Claesson Square-1 single 12.56
Daniel Lundwall 2x2 single 2.41
Stefan Lidstrom Master Magic ave 3.15
Oscar Roth Andersen Megaminx ave (~1:44) & single (~1:31)
 
Just to sum up the danish records done at the competition:

Oscar Roth andersen:
-Pyraminx single: 3.76 (first round)
-Megaminx single: 1:31.xx (first round)
-Megaminx average: ~1:44 (first round)
-Megaminx single: 1:24.00 (final round)
-Megaminx average: ~1:33 (final round)

Frank Severinsen:
-3x3x3 OH single: 22.xx (I guess it was final round xD)

that means the danes had 300% chance to get NR at that competition :P

Gunnar Krig 3x3 average 12.50
Gunnar Krig 4x4 average 52.xx?
Simon Westlund 5x5 single and average :) 1:32 and 1:41
Simon Westlund 6x6 single 3:23 I think..
Simon Westlund 7x7 single and average :) 5:58 and 6:01

The competition was a lot of fun, can't wait untill the next comp ;)
 
This was one of the more memorable competitions I have gone to. Erik arranged for all my travelling needs and Annica provided us with a place to stay.

The competition was very chaotic with long delays between events and many people not helping out before/after competing. The overall atmosphere was really good though. However starting a competition at 9 in the morning and ending it way after midnight simply isn't a good idea. When we arrived for day 2 many people were actually sleeping one the floor and benches in the competition area.
And having multiple rounds for Magic, Square-1 and MegaMinx but not for Master Magic and 5x5x5 was just weird, as was not having a ceremony.

Summarised: Fun, playful and different but also chaotic and disappointing for me on some fronts.
 
Yay, I'm back home. Finally ^^
Just to begin with some DYK's:
Did you know???
- We (Arnaud and me) actually got everywhere on time and didn't miss any flights???? :eek:
- Sweden isn't that cold at all
- Swedish isn't that hard at all... bufflarna flyger i luften :)
- The ball?
- The dices?
- The 2x2?
- Knäckerbröd?
- Simon popped on minx in the first round, I popped in the 2nd round?
- Henrik Bui is faaaast? I got his finals solves of magic but he failed...
- Ramadan is :cool: ?
- Aili is quite crazy? (and fast)
- We had to figure out what to do from 9 until 3:40 in the night on Sunday night since our bus to the airport left then?
- We found some nice solutions by going around Stockholm with 3 French cubers (2 cubers, one friend) and played pool, mostly we couldn't get in anywhere since Deadalnix forgot his ID?
- FAIL?
- Everyone knew the poolcafe we wanted to find but everyone apparently failed at giving the right directions to it?
- Cubing for 15 hours straight isn't much fun anymore?
- Especially not if that means you can only get 6 hours of sleep to be able to still do the last 15 minutes of FMC?
- I still found a 36 move solution in that 15 minutes? ^^
- There were NO events I didn't FAIL at?
- For a moment I thought I had 10.30 avg in the semi's until I found out I calculated wrong? :(
- I already texted some people about it, and then had to text them again to say I'm a n00b?
- FAIL?
- I popped on feet again? (fixed it, found out I had a corner in wrong, popped it to fix it, fixed it and screwed up my (already screwed up) mean)
- on multi I memorized to flip 2 edges on my 2nd cube. Solved everything, put the cube down and even before I got off the blindfold realized I still had to flip them?
- FAIL?
- I popped for the first time in my life on megaminx?
- FAIL?
- Jora so atta?
- Swedish people don't know how to drive in traffic jams since they never have them?
- They never wave back? :(
- We still want our 5x5 finals? :p
- I'm tired as hell? :D

There is a good explaination for this Arnuad. My brother was supposed to arrange the venue, give room for sleep overs at his home, do the bying of things that we needed, fix diplomas for the ceremony etc, etc. Things I do not have possibilitys to fix because I'm poor, have no car, not even a printer for the dipomas etc. Now my brother backed on a late state because of unexpected problems, I have not been able to contact him (I won't go into details, it his personal thing, not of my or anybody elses business). So I had to take his part and at least get in contact with the owner of the venue, fix so I had it also friday just to have a place for travellers that was suppposed to sleep at my brothers place so we at lest could have a competition. This work I started a little moore than a week before the comp was supposed to be. At that day I hade no idea if I even had a venue, a few days later I was in contact but was toled I had to pay twice the prize because I was not living in the area where the veue is. Now I was in a situation where the participation fee would become like 150 swedish crowns with 50 competitors, many would back becuse of that and the fee would go even higer. What to do? Cancle the comp? 8 days before start? How many did not get their plane tickets and such by then? Many would lose money, I could not cancle :fp

Luckily I succeded in talking the owner of the venue to rent it to my brother = send the bill to him = I get the lower prize becuase he lives there but it was not that easy (it worked when I said most participants are young and poor students =)

On top of this I had another private thing that I really had to fix in the begginning of last week that took a few days from me and the last days before I had to use to do mailing with people, buy stuff etc. All this took all my time I was supposed to use to plan for the progress of the comp but at least I manage to fix so it was possible to have a comp at all. I was madly tired alredy when I arrived Friday evening. Then at site all the things I normally pass to my brother I had to take care of myself, I was not able to do much work because there was like 3-4 people talking to me constantly = impossible to concentrate (Sad thing on top of this is that I do not ask people for help, I try to solve it all myself, I have a plan... and the first thing that happens is that someone says "no, no, you can't do like that" and then I'm in truoble =).

Some of you that was there did a lot to make it possible and one of the persons I thank the most are you Arnaud (the others, like Lid I already thanked at the svekub forum) You saved a lot for me and I did not even have to ask you :)

BTW, MM finals, it was planned but there was only 5 starting in the first round = not enough participiants for two rounds so we had to cancle the final.
