Asian Open 2010

[RCTACameron]

I think it's kind of sad that just because Faz entered the Asian Championships, there were more Australian records broken than Asian ones.

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

If I go enter US Nationals 2011 and break 19 WRs, is it sad too?

 

[Faz]

Oceanic records*

 

[RCTACameron]

Why would a Malaysian break OcRs? Isn't Malaysia part of Asia?

 

[Faz]

I was correcting you, but w/e

 

[RCTACameron]

They're OcRs and Australian records.

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

So I think its safe to conclude that breaking a continental record outside of your continent is sad and wrong.

So I think its safe to conclude that breaking 8 continental records outside of your continent is sad and wrong.

Fixed.
I'm just saying it's kind of scary.

I saw a lot of people taking videos at the championship, and i was wondering if anyone has footage from the first round of 3x3x3?
If so PLEASE let me know!

Fixed.

You can't count.

If you mean AsRs then you are right, but if you mean any Asian NRs then you are way off.

Also, how is that sad at all? We all know Faz is a beast.

My FMC was amazing, with fail ending

‎(Inverse) scramble: U' R U L2 F U2 B L' F' L' U2 R2 D2 L2 B2 L2 U B2 D' F2 U'
2x2x2 + Lots of pre-pairing : L B2 L2 B' U' R' U' L D' (9)
3x X-Cross with everything pre-paired: U F2 U' F' R F R F (17)
....and then I was really hopeful that I would be able to break my PB and get the best non-lucky official solve.
But the best finish I could find needed 19 more moves and was a very complicated forced OLL skip and non-optimal J-Perm without cancellations
B2 L B (20. Seriously, doesn't that look almost solved????)
L2 D' L B D (25. Yeah, I bet nobody saw that one coming. That's right, undo those last 8 moves and redo them to see what just happened)
L B' R' B L' B2 R B' R' B2 R (36. Couldn't remember/find an optimal J-Perm)

The entire competition went amazing. No problems keeping to the time schedule, lots of great results, live video so my girlfriends and parents could watch, an amazing venue and very good organisation, lots of media coverage. Bangkok just qualified itself as a serious option for WC 2011

 

[That70sShowDude]

How many girlfriends do you have? lol

 

[AvGalen]

How many girlfriends do you have? lol

The smallest amount possible

(typical, I post about FMC and the comp and my personal life gets involved)

Hello cubers,

Was nice to meet Feliks, Yumu and his family,Sinpei and another cuber's at Bangkok.

I only feel strange when ......

1. I solve my 4x4x4 with 3.xx.xx minutes and they said that I´m DNF because of out of time. DNF is not out the time limit.

2. At my second 4x4x4 solve the Judge asked me if I´m ready and i said YES and he started to count 1...2....3 to take off the cover.


3. One of the Judge letting her mobile ringging while judging.


4. at 3x3x3x event I saw 3 competitiors were waiting on competition table, and I said that they must wait in waiting area not on the competition table but they won´t listen and 1 of organizer also told me that they have to wait on that table for their next solve. I believe if competitior able to sit and wait on the competition table is it only a small competition.

Sorry if I´m wrong.

Aah yes

@1 I saw Shusei Tabuchi's BLD solve in the finals was stopped as he went over 6 minutes. I always thought standard protocol was to just accept the time, and then DNF the other solves is it not? Maybe it was different in the final. I agree with you.

@2 Yes, I found this very annoying. I think it was just a few people that did it.
Judge: "Ready?"
Me:"Hold on 1 second"
Me: "ok/yep/ready"
Judge: "Ready"
Me: "Yes"

It was a pleasant surprise in the finals when I said "yep", and ron lifted the cover off straight away on my first solve.

@3: Aah, unfortunate.
