Weekly competition 2010-09

[Mike Hughey]

Huh? Damn. Over already. I was away all weekend. I did a lot of events and had crazy 3x3 for me, it was something like, 15.05, 12.00 (PLL skip), and a bunch of "okay" solves like 19 19 and 24 or something. It was 18 average. I had really good events. When is the comp going to be on the wed/thurs night change again?

It's currently about a half week behind (meaning you're getting more than a week to do each competition). I'm sure we'll eventually get it caught up - I hope that when we do, we'll move it up by a day or so per week until we're back to normal. And I think normal should be Thurs/Fri night change instead of Wed/Thurs night change, since that's what it was at the beginning of the year.

This competition starts now and ends wednesday/thursday nightchange (officialy), but I will only close a competition after the new one is on-line. If a competition doesn't start at wednesday/thursday nightchange you still get the full 7 days to participate.

Right, that's what it says now, but I'm not sure what your point is. At the beginning of the year (Weekly competition 2010-01), it said this:

This competition starts now and ends thursday/friday nightchange (officialy), but I will only close a competition after the new one is on-line. If a competition doesn't start at wednesday/thursday nightchange you still get the full 7 days to participate.

I guess I hadn't noticed that it disagreed with itself like that. But Arnaud was posting them on Thursday nights, so I assumed that Thursday was the real starting point. Also, that was consistent with the way he started them at the beginning of previous years, going a week from the first of the year.

As for the full 7 days to participate, this one had a little more than 7 days to participate, so it fulfilled that requirement.

So I think everything is as expected, except that Arnaud is behind on posting them.

I think the first week was a typo.

Wow! 3rd in FMC with 34 moves? I guess many people couldn't submit in time.

Nice solve! Awesome F2L-1! I never saw that during my attempt.
A suggestion: Try L B' L' B D' B2 D B2 L B2 L' B' D' B2 D B2 (16-1=15) after the F2L-1. Leaves 3 corners+ 1 move cancels. Then insertion

Heh, cheers
Yeah, if it can't be done during F2L, doing EO and pair-building simultaneously is probably a better idea than keeping them separate.

Yes, it is. Although it is very difficult to keep track of what moves you are doing and writing them at the same time when doing it simultaneously. I always make a mistake there .

I apoligize for just now bringing this up, but I just noticed that my 2+3+4 relay didn't make it into the results. It is in my original post.

My fault, the relay event names are tricky (you can name them in so many
different ways). Just skip the spaces in the event name next time makes it
easier for me. So
2x2+3x3+4x4 is better than 2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4

Anyway, now you have got another five points

2x2:
my 3x3:
DNF(29.50), 14.38, 18.15, 19.44, 13.86 = 17.33 (σ = 2.15)
First was a DNF because I messed up the v-perm I just learned from Westons thread.

My 3x3 results didn't make it into the results either :/

i had a very good average

That is because the event name was not the first text on the line.
The results are compiled by a program and it did not get the event.
Removing the my makes it work. I did that so now your 3x3 is ok .
