Vårgårda Open June 18-19 (Sweden)

Some results:

I just took a Ryan Reese/AronPM/ZaneC/lololol (sorry the pun) and got DNF of 13 cubes in MBLD. What went wrong? Not sure, my memo was solid but it felt like I had forgotten to memo a set of corners and all the cubes felt "delayed" in the sense that I did wrong sets for wrong cubes. DNFed after 5 cubes with 2? solved.

Daniel just pwned ALL with 12/13. Exec mistake twisted wrong two corners. He is still my idol :) No training owns all.

In 4BLD there are many people with success, including me :D 20.xy last solve just to have an official result.

5BLD I think Istvan is the only one with a result of 20:25?

More to come :D

This makes me feel a lot better of myself though that others have pulled it. Sorry to hear about that MrMoney, surely next time :).
 
Thank you everyone for this weekend!
I hope you all was happy with the comp. (To bad about the priceceremoni thou :/ Really sorry about that )

Im already thinking about to organize another competition. And would love to get some tips and examples on what I could have thought about/do better.
Please send an email to [email protected] about what you thought about the comp.
Or send a message on facebook, Claes Hedin.

Thanks again for coming to Vårgårda Open.
 
It seems the path to glory is not that easy Ryan... :p But I think we need these types of failures to appreciate it when we accomplish things like 10+ cubes multi. It really is amazing, and we take it for granted.

It would feel worse if I failed in other things too. But I beat my own NR from 1:38.xy to 1:33.xy so HAPPY :D Second place with such a bad result :p
 
Many thanks to Claes and everyone else who helped with the organisation of the competition. I had an awesome time (as I always do in Scandinavia!). Great to see you guys again and also meet some new people :)

As for my results, they were generally pretty good, even though the multibld result was very frustrating! Maybe not practising bld is finally paying off! Also, 3.52 (and 3.90) 2x2 avg, 2 nice nl 18.xx OH solves and finally sub-1 avg at 4x4 (just needed to wait for <8 parities). Choked again at clock ofc.

If anyone has, or knows of somebody who might have, a video (or picture) of the end of my multi attempt, I'd love to see it :)

What about megaminx?

SImon won the event of course, but no new WRs.

For me, it was a very nice comp, in a really good venue. If there are other comps there I really hope I can come.
Got a new 4BLD NR in 7:51, but only 2nd place because Daniel went slightly faster.
MBLD was fail (1/9), but all 8 missed cubes were close to solved so it's a bit encouraging anyway. (It was my first official attempt at 9 and I rushed the memo a little bit because I felt I ws short on time.)
3BLD was just lol. Out of 6 official solves, five DNFs all sup-2 and a safety success in... 1:26. Talk about weird :confused:
 
Some things from me:

Claes did a great job organising the competition, the venue was quite nice.
It was great to see some BLD prås at the competition again. Good luck in your next competition, Ramadan! :p
Daniel should stop practising for MultiBLD, and just hope to do well from now on :p
Harald Stiff turns extremely fast, almost as fast as Faz in 2h and maybe OH too.
Morten was a bit unlucky in 333 as in he "failed" in the finals, just like last year in Swedish Open 2010, but still had decent avgs in first and second round :)
Istvan's Multi BLD accuracy is incredible. He has solved 9/9 cubes in MultiBLD, in his past 4 competitions now! :O
Simon turns way too fast on megaminx. He can do a T perm in sub 0.9 which is faster than me on a 333. It was awesome seeing some sub 50 solves in person.
Tommy's range of weird and interesting were great to play around with again. I managed to solve his latch cube and now I think I might buy one.
Hilmar's cubes are great, I wouldn't mind using them officially. Well done on your NRs :p
Oskar broke his 333 pb avg again. He'll get a sub 10 avg very soon, I reckon. (I agree Oskar, just focus on 333 instead of magic :))
I didn't talk to Gunnar that much during the competition, but it was funny to see his reaction to his official 1:20 megaminx solve: "YAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

How I did overall at the competition:
222: Failed but 2.18 single with ortega (easy PreBL and 1bar for PBL)
333: Only one sub 10 and it was my 8.06 NL. No rotations after cross + N perm lol. It was the final solve of the final round. I think it might be a NL NR too hehe.
444: Fails + Pops. I think I should just switch back to miniQJ, which doesn't pop as much.
555: Also failed but I got a nice 1:14 single NR.
666+777: Even more fails.
OH: Nice 13.91 single NR. Rotationless f2l and U perm for PLL helps.
Magic+Master Magic: Good results for me.
Square-1: Nice nl single 16.xy. I got a funny first solve. I practised all of my no parity PLLs before hand except for V perm, and V perm just happened to be the one which came up, so I didn't get a sub 20 on that scramble.
Pyraminx: Fail
Megaminx: 1:02 single and 1:09 avg. Colour neutral WRs, yay (lol barely anyone cares).
Clock: Set some OPBs, nothing special.
Feet: Fail
3BLD: All DNFs (memo + exec mistakes)
MultiBLD: 1/3 One cube was off by two flipped edges and the other cube was off by 2 twisted corners. I'm satisfied with this since it's my first 3 cube attempt ever.
FM: DNF

Daniel filmed many of my solves, so watch out for some videos.
 
Hmm, I got the end of your 8.06 where you looked happy and stood up, but i didn't get the actual solve.
Also, you failed to put me in your post, I'm sure this is a mistake.
 
I'm looking forward to another competition, I couldn't attend. I live i Vårgårda, it would have been perfect. I had just started out to cube seriously. And I didn't feel very confident, and still don't, so I hope there is another opportunity in the near future.
