French Open 2010 cancelled

As you already know, the reduced French Open will take place on Sunday 08:30-18:00 at this place: http://www.espacecharenton.com/ (accessible through métro line 8)

The revised program is not finalized yet, since it will depend on the number of people attending (hard to know...).

For people in Paris who want to cube and meet others on Saturday, we'll have an informal meeting at MacDonald's Champs-Elysées at 18:00. Second floor. Come!

The French Open was NOT cancelled :) It happened today at the new venue.
Kanneti won the 3^3 with a 10.xx average. Bence won 5 or 6 events (don't remember precisely). Javier Tirado Ortiz missed the clock WR average by only a few 100ths.
And I still hold the Square-1 single French NR (looool :D)
 
There were no 6^3 and 7^3 events (no time for them). Bence won 2^3, 4^3 and 5^3 and finished escond in 3^3 but I don't remember the exact times, just wait for the official results, and for Olivér's DYK too :D
 
I would like to say thank you for François Sechet, Clément Gallet and especially our hero Jean-Louis Mathieu to made this competition happen! Hat off! ;) I love how the cubing community is living and working. :)

Correcting my way too soon posted, lame did you know list:

Did you know that:

- JLM hosted me and Bence and he and his wife are amazingly nice!
- french keyboards are messy :P
- the competition actually happened :)
- French cubers are cool ;)
- Kanneti is officially crazy :D
- this competition was another Bence Barát Open :P
- I sucked in every other event
- I got no podium. (it was my 3rd competition where i didn’t get any podium, after WC07 and Belgian Open 2008)
- I got my best 3x3 place ever (3rd in first round, 4th in final by 0.06)
- Lars had a 23.45 average in square-1 :)
- Javier is very good in clock!
- I tried the touch cube and got a 1:47 on the 6-7th solve (could have been better but I scrambled it while doing a J perm at 1:10 on another solve)
- I ate nothing but McDonald's the whole weekend (except for the two meals I ate at JLM's)
- no wonder why I'm 100 kg :D
- we spent sunday night at Orly airport with Bence
- it was fun
- at first :P
- we raced to 100 winnings on 3x3x3
- he won: 100-89 (actually 100-80 but I got 10 points for a sub-10 instead of one point) :)
- he said after midnight: now I'm going to do a sub-ER average of 5 on 2x2x2!
- after a 8.xy, a 3.xy, a 5.xy and a 4.xy I started to laugh and he said: What? I meant an older ER... :D
- on Monday I slept on a plane, a ship, in a car and in a bus ;)
- definitely see you in 2011!

did Olivér jesus up? :D

Yes, indeed! ;) That's my job. :)
