[MTGjumper]

[Toad]

I want videos of Frankie. That is all.

[amostay2004]

Oh wow, that was fast Just got back to London...really tired but lotsa fun!

Also first official sub-10 single NL
T OLL and H perm ftw

 

[Robert-Y]

Congratulations Amos and Joey (again).

Btw, I think that maybe Rowan and I have this Bristol curse where we get many sub 11s but no sub-10s

Did you know:
- Joey was wearing some awesome shorts?
- Michael has a massive beard?
- I showed up to the competition 30 minutes late?
- I broke pretty much every competition PB even though I didn't sleep the night before?
- I got a 10.69 3x3 Single in the final round, but the average was horrible?
- I had a 55.xx DP 4x4 solve, and was executing O-parity at 40.xx?
- Rowan DNF'ed his OH avg by the 3rd solve of the avg, but got a 19.36 single on his 4th solve?
- Rowan is very fast?
- I expect Rowan to sub-11 avg at US Nats in August?
- I DNF'ed the easiest BLD solve I've ever had in a comp, simply because I messed up a commutator at the very beginning?
- Conrad Rider is a cool guy?
- Tom Dooley is also a cool guy?
- Conrad found a 37 move FMC solution, but wrote down the last sequence incorrectly, costing him 1st place?
- Charlie set a new NR on pyraminx (congrats!)?
- it was hilarious when Amos memo'ed for BLD, but forgot a blindfold, so had to grab one before starting his solve...?
- ... only to pop about 5 seconds into solving?
- Charlie, Dan, and Michael did a fantastic job running/organizing the competition?

Thanks guys, fun times!

DYK:

- I walked more than 1 hour to find the place?
- Bristol has guide maps on the street EXACTLY when you need them?
- I dropped my camera pouch (with an SD card inside) while snapping the Bristol Cathedral and had to backtrack later to find it?
- I found it?
- Rowan is a gentleman?
- Kirjava really likes explaining and demonstrating things?
- He's really friendly too?
- I can't count how many times I've said 'Pardon?' when talking to people?
- My solves were really bad until I broke 2x2 and 3x3 NR at the end of the day?
- Conrad is Scottish and I asked if he was Australian? :fp
- I think people don't get what I'm saying sometimes cos I mix Malaysian and English accent terribly?
- The noisiest race was 3x3 between me, Rowan and Joey when all of us were using A5s?
- pjk is really nice?
- and has a British girlfriend?
- I didn't eat anything from 5am to end of comp?
- BLD was LOL?
- Charlie, Dan, and Michael did a fantastic job running/organizing the competition?

edit more DYKs:
- All my solves in the final was filmed except the 9.41?
- Cos little Sophie brought my cube and I didn't wanna trouble her to film it?
- Sophie's really cute and her mom's really nice?

 

[joey]

FUN!
Obvious highlights of my results:
9.88 PLL skip
10.81 non lucky.

Everything else was pretty much average.

2x2 sucked, I think I managed to do CLL successfully 2 times.
3x3 was annoying, my average would have been 12.75 without the +2 on a 11.61

Everyone is awesome, at least, those who know I think they're awesome is awesome.

edit:
My 9.88 was on film. Hoping Michael will be able to send that to me, so I can upload it to my channel.

 

[Tomarse]

Joey, I think you're awesome too Thanks for announcing it on the forum awwww bless

DYK

- I like cubing again?
- I fail at getting sub 11 averages?
- My cube fails?
- This is the first competition where I have done remotely well compared to unofficial times?
- The comp was really nice, a few new faces and some cool people, but many not present who were sorely missed? (You know who you are)
- Dressed down fridays?
- Amos is awesome, I want to learn his mad bld skillz, and he got a tasty 9.41?
- Kir sucks in comp?
- So does Joey (single times notwithstanding)?
- They both love stupidly complicated commutators?
- The meaning of 'melba' still eludes us (google searches not allowed)?
- I can't wait til UK Masters?
- Though it won't be half as good without Pjk?
