I wouldn't think you could disclose, but it doesn't hurt to ask: What DID you guys pay for them?

I cannot disclose that information.

Filming for the local ABC station in Las Vegas (Channel 13 KTNV) took place midday Sunday. Here's the article and video that aired Sunday evening:

Did you know...

Spoiler

Such. A. Troll.

I have to say though, it was thoroughly amusing watching you tap people on the shoulder and sticking this in their face.

Start making competitors bring their timers
At my first comp, I thought I had to bring my timer, a stackmat, and a tournament display. I ended up asking bob and feeling stoopid

Weird how they got some of information they got wrong. As far as I know Breandan doesn't go to Ohio State, or got a 10.13 avgerage..

He also wasn't national champion since he's not from the USA. Dan Cohen was 2011 US Champion, and he got a 10.13 average.

ABC should have said National champion. I think Breandan was the "champion" of the competition while Dan was the National Champion

It's the National Championships so I'd assume they were referring to the National Champion

Just clarification. :/

Not when Tim's the one posting them. He's usually pretty quick.

but w/ an event like this, it's crazy

 

[Tim Reynolds]

We had a scorecard-checking party every night. I flew out right after the competition, got to California around midnight, and Jim had already sent me the results to post. I also made sure they would be ready to post when I was preparing the workbook before the competition, so it was pretty fast.

Thank you so much to all of the organizers and staff!! The competition was awesome and I'm sure a lot of work went into it. Congratulations to Andrew and all of the other winners!

 

[Sa967St]

Such an awesome competition.
It was great seeing all of you again! I was looking forward to this all summer and I'm so glad it was THIS awesome.

I'm still here until Tuesday evening, so if anyone's sticking around for a few more days, let's cube and stuff.

I'll post DYKs when I get home. I have A LOT.


edit: I forgot to mention that I lost my stackmat timer Friday night. It has my name on the back. If you have it, please let me know.

edit 2: I had some spare time, so my DYKs are up already.

 

[Cool Frog]

It appears that I have picked up someones ShengShou 4x4 white.

 

[sa11297]

I also have lost a white modded shengshou 5x5 and a LA rubik's clock. (the 5x5 has huge holes on the the corners where it has been modded and one of the blue stickers has a hole in the middle that looks white. The clock is missing a blue peg.) If you have any of these, please tell me, and maybe we can work something out.
