Not suggesting there is! At the end of the day I was given a scrambled cube and failed to solve it blind. Fair as fair can be!

Just means I can't review thats all. But oh well... I'm over it :p

Maybe you scrambled it with a different orientation?
 
I don't remember setting any particular goals for UKO, but the main goal was to do better than last year.. which I did in everything bar 5x5 which I didn't get to finish an average of :(

Every other event though.. phenomenally well considering I didn't practice until Friday; sub 20 3x3 average, sub minute 4x4 single, sub 30 OH single, sub 10 Pyraminx single, made second round in 2x2, pyraminx and 3x3 :)

All round, a brilliant weekend and hope its even better next year :tu

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").

+1 to this. I had 2 +2 in 4x4. I know one of them is a bit less than 45degrees so I'm fine even if the judge gave me a +2, not like I'm gonna make it to final anyway. The other one was that I twisted a corner during edge pairing and twisted back the corner at the end of the solve before stopping the timer, it was 1:01.xx could've sub 1, but got a +2 to 1:03.xx. Oh well, I'll be more aware to my own time next time and not get over excited of a good single and not see what I get for other solves.

Did you twist the corner back without disassembling the cube? If so it should've been DNF.
 
DYK:

* The venue was very good
* ...featuring its own St*rbucks
* ...I went on to spend somewhere between £20-£30 on coffee over the two days of the event!
* It was great to see everybody again - esp Sam although it was brief and he had to rush off after winning clock as usual
* I think I achieved my goal of a sub-30 average in comp (official WCA results still not yet up?)
* I have a 0.07 master magic in the live results (http://live.cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=84&cat=9&rnd=1) - I'll take it!
* goodbye magics - sob!
* finding a pub with a real-ale festival AND a live ska band? Amazing!
* then moving on to a pool hall with table football and comfy chairs perfect for blind-solving? Even more amazing!
* I should have given Breandan more covers to keep himself warm whilst sleeping on the floor of our room
* much love to all - see you soon I hope
* much love to all!
