UK Open 2012

Some twat +2'd a solve when the slice was only 25 degrees out

if you didnt sign the score sheet then it shouldnt have been prus2'd.

Ok so hast anyone seen my differentiational öl

I saw your dy/dx oil when you were using it but then you didn't using it and I didn't seeing it anymoáár.

 

[BillyRain]

Noone will have flash on don't worry

Lol... errr.. fail methinks. Right Alex?

Also, does anyone know when the times will be added to WCA site? And new profiles created?

Amazing weekend and great first comp experience. I have alot of work to do lol.. I will be sub 20 by next comp. Guarenteeeeeed.

I'm pretty sure its around the first table (where me and callum were at) during 3Final.

Yay Nevins! Nice 4BLD time and second Malaysian to have 5BLD success!

I think you'll beat me with a sub10 very soon whenever Malaysia decide to include 5BLD in events! Haha.

I asked Dan about it, he said its probably gonna be up around Tuesday/Wednesday just to be safe.

Finally I get access to internet, the comp was a blast, so is McD.

My DYKs
The desire for McD actually get heightened when there are cubers around.
I consumed alcohol at both Friday night and Saturday night.
I did all my BigBLD attempts in Saturday.
I enjoyed 5x5 moment because of good times.
If Ollie was here I wouldn't get 3BLD podium.
The only one who get podium for all BLD events.
Had double parity for first 2 solves during 4x4 and twisted a corner during edge pairing for 3rd solve which loses my chance to get to final.
Blake had a hell lot of sandwiches. (lol)
David Singmaster joined us in McD.
No moor magic next year.
My first 2 DNFs for 3BLD were because of 2 flipped edges.
I had same best time for 2x2 in first and second round which I failed so hard.

I'm pretty sure it was on the front middle table, where we were sat most of the second day, during the 3x3 Final

 

[5BLD]

I'm pretty sure its around the first table (where me and callum were at) during 3Final.

it was. Then where did it disappear to?

DYK:
Being at a comp doesn't screw up my times like I thought it might do
First official solve that wasn't magic was a DNF
Forgot the definition of consistency during pyra when i got a 7 and a 28 in the same average
Finished restringing my mmagic on the train after it broke during my first time using it, and somehow didn't finish last
Broke my minx PB by 14 seconds
Missed out on clock final by 0.1s
My friends made a massive cube tower whilst I was off doing minx
Managed to knock someone's clock over whilst judging orz
Got to meet ABoCKwS for the first time which was pretty awesome
Looking forward to next comp, got some good goals to beat!
Thanks to everyone who organised, couldn't have asked for a better first comp ^^

 

[Georgeanderre]

It may have been mixed up during the clear up or been taken accidentally by someone who has the same lube..?

 

[BillyRain]

If possible, could someone try and find the second scramble for 3BLD please? I desperately need to see why I ended up with 2 flipped corners

Currently sat in McDonald's (surprising for me) waiting for my bus home. I had a really fantastic time, and as ever some really frustrating results (0.90+2 magic, 2 square 1 pops costing me podium). The internet in here is really bad, and I can't really think of anything just now, so I'll save my DYKs for later or tomorrow. However I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for my errors in judging Nick in the final. I was aware that he wasn't stopping the timer correctly, however I wasn't completely sure what to do about it. I was also a bit nervous (sounds stupid I know) being in front of that many people. Thanks Dan for stepping in and having a word.

If you disagree with a judge's decision then please consult me. This is the first I've heard of this, and you could have called me over, or let me know later

I will review the video of the solves (as I couldn't see them irl) and make retroactive recommendations to the WCA board. Part of my job is to be available for rule consultation, so judges should be using that if they need to.

Also, does anyone know when the times will be added to WCA site? And new profiles created?

I have submitted the results, so it's any time from now. Hopefully it will be in the next 24 hours or so.

 

[CHJ]

Wait i can still get my good solve back? Yh it was definitely in but for some reason he +2'd it, I didn't sign it either and people saw it, it was the 3rd solve of the first round so it wouldve been a 15.90.
I thought it was beyond hope to disagree so i left it

Cheers Dan.

Did you see my post about the scrambles? Are the scrambles now available anywhere? Just want that one so that I can review.

It's too late now unfortunately. All +2s should signed before the cube is touched - not signing it is not a useful protest at all. Ideally you would have called me over immediately so that I could have a look at the cube. If you had told me later on the day and I could have spoken to the judge to see what was going on - maybe (s)he didn't even know the rules. Please PM me the judge's name/description if you know it.

Yes, I have written it down on my list of scrambles to find. I should have all the paper copies in my bag. I will wait at least until the end of the day in case more requests come in to save me delving in and out.

Oops, forget to say thanks for the room sharing. Had a great time in Leicester.

EDIT: Somehow I do felt like I break the 'WR' because I actually sub Feliks in 5BLD for less than 10seconds lol.

 

[CHJ]

Ehh oh well, im not too fussed, at least i know now, im not too sure who it was though, and he didn't even ask to sign so maybe the case there

 

[Muesli]

DYK:

CHJ could probably sleep in the middle of a main road and not wake up,
I have never felt so embarrassed by the state of my cubes,
I've been turned off half-bright stickers,
The hardest part of solving any puzzle is the AUF,
7.5% beer = Good night = Sore head,
I feel like a thief paying £5 to get in and eating at least £10 worth of lunch,
David Singmaster thought he recognised me,
I don't get nerves when solving in a competition, I get blindness and acute stupidity,
You should never let me judge you in BLD. I didn't see one success when I was around.

See you all next comp.

This has happened to me before twice - where a new or newish cuber judged me and then gave a +2 after they said it was ok and I'd left the table... Maybe the rules should be clarified when the role of judging is explained at the beginning of a competition ("45 degrees or above, if it is close get Dan to look").

This actually happened to me as well. I know for certain that my 14 in the second round was +2'ed for no apparent reason, after I'd left the table. I mentioned it to Mollerz, but didn't bother fighting it because it wasn't a good solve/average.
