hope to meet you there Ron .
This is the first official competition . So all the cubers are eager to compete from all over the country and that's why there are more than 200 people .
I'm so excited too.

Wow. I didn't realize the popularity there. For a first comp, very impressive. I'm curious to see how it goes. This should bring quite a bit of interest to the WCA and competitive speedcubing to Iran.

 

[mr6768]

well , Iranians are not world class cubers yet .
The best 3x3 solvers are averaging about 12 - 13 .
I bet that next competition in Iran will have even more competitors !

 

[michaelfivez]

The first person doing clock has a guaranteed NR (at least if he's able to solve that thing )

 

[mr6768]

well , after all it happened.
the very first competition in Iran .
Everything has gone perfect .
The winner was Armin soleimani with the average of 13.91 and Ron van bruchem got the second place .

Wish I could have gone too......
It seemed so fun.

 

[DRAGON_RYU]

Still, Armin does have an unofficial 10 sec avg.
Super cool...

 

[Cubenovice]

Congrats to all the winners and NR record holders.

And congrats to Ron for winning the big cubes and getting another sub 10 on 3x3x3!
