Washington DC Open 2010

Ya i suck... Made huge mistakes in 4x4, sonothing came out of that except for probably the first sub40 taken away by a +2 :p

3x3 was pitiful, having 2 skips in an average only got me a 12.11...............[moar dots]

I guess 1:15 5x5 avg isnt too bad though, again had a counting +2
 
Thank you to the orgainizers for putting this together. I had a great time, I pretty much finished as I expected being nervous and my first comp using full PLL so I am looking forward to getting them down solid and hopefully improving.

Good seeing everyone and hopefully we'll have another comp prior to nationals.

we didnt really talk, but i gotta say your a big inspirations to us nublets :o
 
Many thanks to the organizers...my first comp was a genuine pleasure, and it seemed to run like clockwork. Something like this is a unique experience--when you get 50 people in a room together who all share the same passion, you cannot help but feel the "social mass" wash over you. I am still buzzing from it.

Everyone was so busy competing and I had to leave early (only 3 hours of sleep and a long drive home and I was fading) so I didn't get to bond with people so much, but I especially enjoyed meeting Ryan Reese and Hikaru Shibuya.

And I had the special pleasure of being seated next to Ron van Bruchem--someone my own age and the most pleasant ambassador to the cubing event one could ever ask for (your candy grew on me after a time, btw Ron).

And I got what I wanted--a sub-20 single and a sub-22 average. And a decent beginner's baseline for OH ~1 min. Good enough for now! :D

Cheers!

Yeah, I hate those guys :)

It was worth it for Waffle House and you know it.
 
completely screwed up my first 4x4 solve....accidentally did an extra move in the middle of pll parity

sat next to dan cohen on my second 4x4 when he got a 39.xx....felt like a complete noob with my 2:07.xx, despite that being actually ok for me

had decent 3x3s for myself....got two 32.02s unintentionally xD

overall good first comp
 
Haha, I got a massive pop since I was using Kevin's cube (C II or something) instead of edison.. i mean HUGE, like half the cube collapsed lol, thanks for telling not to touch the piece Dan. Hated my avg so much i just dnfd last solve :P + I left early, when apparently i got 2nd place magic, and also missed 2x2 round since couldnt decide if I should come or go to some fair.. So i guess it kinda stunk for me, but comp rocked!!

i got it on tape lol i will post later
 
Thought I would post my failures/disasters here too...

3x3 Final Round: Counting 26 + Dropped 28
4x4 Average: usually closer to 1:20
2x2 Average: usually ~5-6
Magic: yep, predictable, usually ~1.2-1.5

3x3 OH: one month of not practicing = 15 second increase in times; the Baltimore times were already bad... usually ~37-40
Weird story... at Baltimore, first three solves were bad, and with F2, last two were good, and with Mini-C.
This time, first three were bad and with Mini-C, last two were better and with F2.
 
I did better than I had hoped, especially in 2x2 - 3.39 average! :D I don't think I will improve this time any time soon, though...
I failed magic, but got a pretty nice single.

Overall, it was a great experience; hopefully we can host more competitions in the future! :)
