Sorry I had to leave early, just wanted to say I had a great time at the first ever Irish competition, and enjoyed meeting some new Irish cubers! It was also really nice staying at the venue, this was the first competition I've been to at a hotel and I really liked that aspect of it. I felt my results were a mixed bag, I didn't manage to do as well as I would have liked in a few, but I was pretty pleased with others.
Any other interesting or exciting results happen after I left?

My 3 3BLD times were all within 0.5s

 

[Tao Yu]

My 3 3BLD times were all within 0.5s

On the WCA page it says your first time was 1:02.30.. I assume that is a mistake?

 

[Tao Yu]

I will let some else make a thread as I don't know the scramble cube etc

also, my 15.83 OH single.

Does anyone know the scramble?

 

[spyr0th3dr4g0n]

Tao, what other footage did you get?
I was hoping to see my megaminx single.

DYK...

- 16/17 podiums but still
- I finally managed to get an official 4x4 average that wasn't shameful
- Irish accent is confusing
- Zoé is amazing for typing in almost all the results herself.
- My 28 move FMC is here
- Every competitor scrambled and judged when I asked them too
- Only 4 competitors didn't podium
- Joey is consistent at 3bld. Very consistent.
- Thom won with a nice average!
- It was easier for Blake to say when his solves weren't NRs
- My first comp where there were no sub-10 3x3 singles
- I owe Joey 2 drinks for my sub-1 blds.
- He owes me the value of 2 drinks for staying in my room
- 9th on sum of single ranks
- Tao prevented a UK clean sweep by winning 2x2
- James got a nice FMC F2L, but has no idea how to LL.
- Kelsey is much faster at bld than anyone expected, and accurate.
- 3:07 winners ceremony = 11 seconds per podium - UWR?

 

[blakedacuber]

- Daniel's WR had a slow reaction from everyone?

DYK:
Ireland is expensive?
We found a judges/auctioneers hammer, among other stuff, when setting up the venue?
The hammer is called a gavel?
The thing a gavel hits is called a soundblock, or base of the gavel?
I was so annoyed with clock (first solve DNF when I solved one side to 6, 3 sub 12 solves then one sub 12 DNF with one corner at 5 past)?
We couldn't work the lights in the venue?
Joey is pro at magic?
Thom snores?
Loudly?
I was 13 cents off the bus fair for the bus journey from the airport to the hotel?
The bus driver got angry at me, not for being slightly off the fair, but because this meant I wouldn't have any money once I got to Tuam?
Tuam is pronounced 'Choom' and not 'Two-am'?
Knock airport charge a 10 euro 'development fee' to use the airport ?
The competition was far more expensive than I had planned, but it was still a really awesome weekend?

 

[Cube-Fu]

How many people were threre?

 

[blakedacuber]

15 which is why didn't have a "final" as such but we had a final with i think 10 or 11 people
