Waterloo Open, Fall 2012 (Canada)

Oh, if anyone wants a copy of the condensed WCA regs (+ other stuff) that I posted around the room, here it is:

Wait...what? I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a +2 for clock.

Inspection. The scramble was particularly bad.
It was an 18 anyway, so I don't care. The only decent solve was mid 9.

edit: wtf, if you click on the quote in your post, it goes to a Rowe BLD world record thread...
edit2: nevermind, its a rowe BLD NAR thread.

Might as well put this up here:

Goals:
2x2: sub-2/sub-4 no / 3.7ish
3x3: sub-9.5/sub-11 no/no
3x3 OH: sub-14/sub16.5 13.05/16.35 :)
3x3 BLD: sub-5 no
4x4: sub-50/sub-54 not even close... I suck at 4x4 official :P
4BLD: success no
Clock: sub-10/12 9.5x (I think) / DNF
Magic: sub-1.5 single... ;)
MMagic: sub-2.2/sub2.5 no/no?
SQ1: sub-40/sub-45 27.xx/ no

Okay competition in terms of results I guess. Succeeded in a couple goals.

From your condensed version:
"You must keep your blindfold on until after you have stopped the timer"

This is not true according to the current WCA regs.

B5c) The competitor may remove the blindfold before stopping the timer, but after removing the blindfold no moves must be applied to the puzzle anymore. Penalty: disqualification of the solve.

Interesting, thanks. I'll fix that.
 
Hahaha, counting 27 in my clock average. Still sub20! The DNF was a 12, off by one edge at the back because I screwed up the cross and didn't notice. ):

Woot, this is fun. Apparently I have a 10.56 OH single I didn't know about :P
I think it's 19.56 but I'm not sure. Sarah was my judge for the last solve.
I guess my 9s look like 0s. It was definitely not a 10.

Just wanted to thank everyone responsible for organizing this event in Waterloo, I had so much fun and am absolutely hooked now. Thanks Ken for teaching me the ropes and I hope to make it under a minute at the next competition. It was very nice meeting everyone and extremely impressive to watch you guys at work. I am looking forward to the next competition and will be practicing until then!
 
More DYKs:
- I had the fastest clock single of the competition by almost 2 seconds, but got second last.
- I had the fastest OH single by over 2 seconds
- I had the fastest OH average of the comp by almost 2 seconds, bu got second.
- I suck at magics.
