Yale Fall 2011

[Kian]

The Yale Fall 2011 competition will take place this Saturday, September 10th, in New Haven, CT.

There was no thread on this so I felt we should have one for discussion before and after the competition. I'm excited to get to see Yale, less so to see New Haven .

I barely even realized how close this comp was until yesterday. Should be fun, like always.

I will need to jack someone's Dayan + MF8 4x4 for the competition. I'm sure there will be no shortage of those.

 

[Ernie Pulchny]

I hope to do good in this competition, especially in BLD.

 

[Bob]

i'll try to go to this one

I signed up when it was announced, but there's only a 63% chance I'm going. Can't find a legit main 3x3 right now and it's making me mad. That's not the only reason though.

That is oddly specific.

I would be happy to lone you mine, if you don't mind white cubes

Haha, saw that on facebook. Was the scramble ridiculous, or was he just in the zone or something?

I don't know. The only other thing I know about it is that his average was 25.95.

 

[Andrew Ricci]

10.87 Average.

Really awesome competition, although it was a bit cold in the room. I got to talk to Mike, Phil, and James a lot, and finally got a Zhanchi. Unfortunately, said Zhanchi resulted in me losing in head to head due to a massive pop. Luckily, Rowe messed up on an alg and lost in the same round, so I didn't feel quite as bad. Managed to get second place in the finals, and took part in the worst group photo of all time. Poor Bob, literally got his head cut off.

what the hell

Awesome competition.
Achieved my first official sub 15 average (3x3) along with my first time making it to the finals.
Failed BLD, first solve off by two twisted corners, second off by ~4 edges, and the last solve I messed up an R-perm (not sure if it would've been solved if I hadn't messed it up).
Also, Andrew Ricci and I won Team BLD with a 46.xx (lol).
