UK Open 2012

I was extremely nervous. In the second round i turned slowly to relax and at least get a sub-9 avg. but that somehow didnt work.

You probably should have relaxed first ... you don't seem to do too well at contests, we'll have to work on you dealing with adrenaline. I never do well at contests, but I am autistic, and cubing isn't serious enough for me to apply myself like I do in martial arts ... anyway, you'll get used to it.
 
As rob said to me, it's my first comp where I am very fast. I should get used to it in time.

Nonetheless it was a great comp, met a lot of people including david singmaster. Oh also, winning head to head was fun :D
 
It's over. Wow. I had such a good time and have been running on adrenaline alone today. I am actually struggling to type now that I've realised just how tired I am. Once again, thanks everyone for coming and hope you all had fun. After all, having fun is more important than results :)
 
loved Breandan's reaction to the 7.40 skip :o

Fantastic weekend even though I got slightly worse than average times. My first comp and I enjoyed judging too :)

Can't wait for the next one!

[Possibly more to follow if I think of anything else]

Had a really good time, didn't improve on as many events as I would have liked, and it's a shame about 4BLD, but I had great fun, and did what I wanted to do in Megaminx :D. Anyone planning the next comp yet? :b
5BLD: I have your 2nd round average on tape, want it uploaded?
Callum: I have some OH solves of yours on vid, what do you want done with them?
 
Lol laurence, funny thing is i didn't recognise you at first

I recognized you because everyone said oh, roux is coming. (and cause asian)

I'm sorry, it turns out that we have an assessment on Monday (it was kept quiet...) and all my revision stuff is in London. I'll have to get home early tomorrow and spend the day revising, because my degree comes first. This means I'll miss my events (I can live with having just a 4x4x4 BLD time on WCA!)

Thanks to everyone for today, especially all my judges for BLD. :)

I missed you :( I also have your gold medal for 4bld at my house! i'll meet you sometime soon!


Had such a great weekend met so many people, wish i had more time to speak to more people!

Thanks Laurence :) I regret not being able to do 3BLD, would've been nice to have an official time and possibly even podium. I may not be back in Leics. for a while, probably not until Xmas, so hopefully see you around then!
 
ok so, didst thou know:

2x2 finals hate me?
3.20avg first round, 2.34avg second round, 3.77avg finål because of a 2.25 +2 D:

lol the maff thingy? only 5bld en'tered, then I was asked about his SOWOOSHUN n stuff, so I decided to try one of the questions and got it wright (probabirity of sideskip on 3x3).

It's actually incorrect, i think, i lost the solutions. only had time to check it briefly! I realised after I told you it was right. I think theres a solution somewhere in the probability thread :p

your solutiong was better than alex's nonsolution though :D so you were worthy winner of the £15 :p

My DYK's
Spending £10 to yourself in mcdonalds is easy
no one likes my cubes, especially my 3x3 stickers and clock (right dan?)
Chris's camera is very hard to figure out but i did work for the NR lol
get the right ticket to start with and save £50 unlike me
Chris finds something in 10s which i cant see in a minute
i should have magic silver but i DNF'd
i could've had 3BLD gold and medals in big blind but SUPAULTRAMEGA FAELZ!
Some twat +2'd a solve when the slice was only 25 degrees out
mega PB, 1s off 4x4 cut and just off 2x2 finals by one person.
aBoCKwS group was awesome and so was the london meet group, nice to see you's again!

Im feeling that it wasn't as good as my last comp but its always worth it, see you all next time!
