Toronto Open, Spring 2011

I couldn't hear what he said.

Spoiler

I summon Justin Jaffray in Attack Mode!

This was the highlight of the competition for me. Not the solve (fail angle anyway), the thing Forte said during the solve.

XD Oh man, that was hilarious. And then afterward you said something like "You shouln't be allowed to make jokes while people are solving".
Lol.

I lost my MF8 megaminx.

Fun fun competition.

Did anyone get my 2:19 BLD solve (and reaction) on video?


The first one I had in the first round was nuts. The solution was U' R'2 (J perm) U2.

Wasn't that in the second round? Maybe I'm remembering wrong. I use ortega and my last solve was a really easy FL, sune and R2 F2 R2.

i think you had a different scramble we changed them about half way through

Did you know...

- Forte summons Justin Jaffray in attack mode?
- Brad-E Metherall?
- During awards Jeremy was clapping so loudly his hands turned completely red and he couldn't feel them?
- Some kids were trying to buy my stickers and cubes off of me?
- I ended up selling a few 3x3 sticker sets to them, them immediately after some other kids were like "wait...you sell stickers?!" and also tried to purchase some?
- When Jeremy and I were scrambling for the 3x3 OH finals, there was a runner/judge whose name we kept forgetting, so we would hit the table as hard as we could to try to get his attention?
- He never realized those loud drumming noises right behind him?
- Daniel H. is very pleased that I didn't remove the balls from my skewb?
- I failed square-1 because of two timer malfunctions and because I had parity on four solves?
- Forte kept calling Matt Walter "Matt Walters" because he thought there were two of him?
- I didn't like my pyraminx so I used Brady's, but Thompson didn't like his so he used mine?
- I haven't done a pyraminx solve since last competition, so I forgot how to do the last layer and tried to talk it out during my official solves (on the 40 I did about six LL algs until I got it right)?
- After my 2:19 BLD solve (I haven't had a good solve (nor a successful one) in a long while) I got up and yelled "YES OH MY GOD" while accidentally knocking my chair over?
- After Thompson's last 3x3 solve in the finals he got up, ran to the open floor area and did a backspin?
- Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............................. yeah it's a +2.

Hey, I remember that! Thanks for the stickers!

/me wants results already :3

 

[nitrocan]

Yeah, what happened to the results of the competitions that took place this weekend? None of them are up.

 

[Tim Reynolds]

Calm down. I'm posting them now. A 24 hour wait from when results get sent to us shouldn't be that unexpected

Thanks Tim. I think it's just because it was so quick last for Toronto Winter.

Sorry if I sounded impatient, didn't mean to. What weirded me out was that none of the competition results were up that took place that weekend. Or are they put up by the same person?

 

[radu242]

Yay! The results are up.

 

[Julian]

My 3x3 BLD results are incorrect. They say that I succeeded on all three attempts. This isn't true, I DNF'd all three.

 

[Sa967St]

I reconstructed my 2:19 BLD solve.

The solution was from memory (got the scramble from cube explorer), so I hope it's right.

There's 6 of us (me, Bob, Tyson, Jeremy, Lars, Ron). Results being posted on Monday is pretty normal.

Oh I thought the delegates from the competition were the ones doing that.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Oh I thought the delegates from the competition were the ones doing that.

Keep in mind that the delegates first have to get the information all correct and ready (including hopefully checking all of the scoresheets to make sure times were entered correctly), and then one of "the 6" have to verify it and post it. So it really takes quite a bit of effort to even get results posted by Monday.

I like that - "the 6" - you should get T-shirts or tattoos or something.

 

[nitrocan]

Yeah I guess it was because the ToW results were up so fast, that's why I was worried. Sorry about that.
