US Nationals and Open

Lofty: I judged you on that solve. You skipped OLL. then had a j perm staring you in the face XD. that was a great solve man .

It was a great competition overall. the first day i had a 12.88 with the EXACT same LL as Erik's WR solve (F Double Sexy move F' then PLL skip U2 to Fix).
The next day i had a Non lucky 12.66 solve with just an X cross (i put teh free pair in first then the cross piece). i beat my PB avg by 2 seconds so thats good as well. and i won MM like normal.

Everyone sucked in magic. lmao.

Tim Sun didn't get a sub-4 average so i didn't have to eat my shoe!!!

It was awesome to meet clancy, frank, Kostadinos, Chris Hardwick, Mike Hughey, Stefan Pochmann, Lars vandenburgh and Arnaud Van Galen (just to name a few).

Hope to see you all next year!

Magic was stupid. I picked a random one off the table that no one claimed. It kinda sucked, and I didn't really get to warm up.

Does the bet still continue?

Was it the side time facing the "Street"? If so, that was my magic. It didn't come home with me

Possibly. Patrick Jameson just randomly found it somewhere.

Besides your crappy notation, Rowe could've done better:

Cancellations all over!

(I found three mistakes in this reconstruction)

Those are some pretty HQ pics!!!




Also, is there a list of scrambles from all rounds somewhere?

 

[Tyson]

I don't have webspace, but I'd be happy to send them to someone who could post them up.

You can send them to me... cpenticuff(at)gmail(dot)com and I will put together a quick page and post the link.

No, Eric Limeback had a 9.55 at Cincinnati with the same OLL and a PLL skip with no AUF.

I have scaled down version there also. No page, just a list of files.

costing me a full set of VCubes as well as national champion. Both Tim and Lucas had a +2, but it was on their fastest solve, not affecting their average. Why did that have to happen to me?

2x2 winner won a full set of Vcubes ?!??!?

You bet I did.

 

[philkt731]

yep and also winner of 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, OH, BLD, 4BLD, and 5BLD

Its kind of lame that a little thing like a +2 penalty is worth 200 dollars. I'm also quite sure that my second scramble was wrong because the one Tim showed me looked nothing like what I had (he got a 2.08+2 and Lucas got 2.02+2)
Oh well my NAR still holds, and actually the worst time of my NAR 5 was 4.34, the same as Tim's avg
