As with the Benelux Open, the location and setup were just perfect for a nice and relaxed competition. Splendid organisation!

I learned one important thing: I should make sure that I get enough sleep! It was great fun to play freestyle table tennis with Erik, Sven and Arnaud until the early hours but unfortunately I'm the kind of person that gets very grumpy and unenjoyable when he doesn't get his sleep. I hope it didn't affect the others too much but it certainly got to me and as a result I ended up getting rather frustrated with my results. I won't let that happen next time.

Yes Lars, that's why I chose not to have a fun-night-time, but to sleep early on friday.
It's hard to choose between being serious or not serious, but I notice I am more concentrated when I have a good night rest.
 
As for myself, no matter how I sleep, I just suck (as bad as Rama is good ;-). Maybe next time I'll take some kind of relaxing pills... Is drug use approved by WCA?

BTW, I am just kidding and this was a rhetorical question.

well, you should have gone to f***ing bed, f***ing earlier then, shouldn't you? that is meant to be said in your voice, which is hard to convey on a forum.

So, do you want to share a room with me for the European Championship, Rama? ;)
 
Hey people I was there as well
my first tournament and it was way cool I really enjoyed it and got to learn quite alot thanks everyone
 
Basically its cool if other people would make Did You Knows too!
Actually I think I forgot a lot of cool things already since I've done much stuff since. I'll give a start though :)
Did you know?
Erik's house turned in a cubing mekka when 4 other cubers arrived 2 days before the competition??
2 of them were actually girls? :D
Dennis and Joey were totally cool too of course!?
Felix is just adorable?
Lars learned how to play tabletennis a bit?
Mr Pochmann's name should be changed into mr Kicker (foosball)?
He's good at tabletennis too?
Oliver 'Jesus' Perge broke a Kuti record??
We all congratulate him so much with it!
Guus Razoux-Schultz finally got what he deserved?
There are now 2 WR holders coming from Enschede (although Guus moved)?
Guus is amazingly nice???
Rama and Erik are trying to make good friends with Mats so we can be happy for him when he'll kick all our buts in about a year?
Ron still struggles to make a nice 3x3?
Erik still misses Misa? :(
Arnaud got 2 girls from the housething next to us (womens -read: girls- football training camp) to join us for the Skatenight the next wednesday?
We didn't see them, but Joel joined us? :D
Charlie did me at 5x5?
I warned her I'd maybe be done a bit quick?
She was ok with that?
Anika decided she want's Erik's baby after he did the 43 on 4x4?
He still has to discuss this with Dennis? ;)
Sven has to made some ***ing did you knows?
He's still ***ing funny? :D
 
did you know?
muttering about hitler, spiderman and terrorists is all the rage?
as is fumbling?
joey likes the purple spoons from the swirl place so much that i had to force him to throw it away about three days later?
the women in the youth hostel next to us were only interested in lars, no dutchies?
lars also had a lot of attention from a green friend of mine?
erik has a nice rabbit?
charlie learned some dutch (she can't spell it though!)?
sven *IS* ***ing funny?
he is also very good at table football?
mcdonalds in the netherlands are incredible?
nobody understands what joey says?
 
All this information in such a short amount of time is very overwhelming... but yeah, I'm ****ing funny???

I'll post my pictures on saturday, sit tight.

Sven
 
Did you know that...
Pim is a former now retired colleague of Ron?
Pim is crazy enough to drive 1000 miles to Bilbao just to volunteer at Euro 2008?
it is very hard to make competitors stay in the waiting area when their puzzles are scrambled?
we bought 70 liters of soft drinks and still at the end of the weekend we had drinks left? The 12 cans of beer were gone after the first evening?
I hate organising a multiple blindfolded event?
Arjan and Conny are also a cube couple?
Daniël (6 years old) waited 5 minutes after donning the blindfold, then asked if he could see the cube again? After that he donned the blindfold again and gave up.
Rama was very afraid that his one-handed WR would be broken in Niagara and Taiwan that weekend?
the Polish competitor was lost after exiting at the wrong bus station (wrong town) so we had to pick him up by car?
Mats' main goal for the weekend was to beat me?
I sold 40 puzzles and 8 Stackmats, but noone believes a pillow cube is rare and expensive?
one buyer used a new Pyraminx for 30 minutes, then bought it for 5 (!) euros and came back 5 minutes later because he had had a pop?
unfortunately the Stackpods I ordered did not arrive in time? (next stop: Brussels Summer Open)
ROLL works: 10.13?
Guus checked his FMC solution 10 times because in past competitions he was known for making writing errors?
the competition room was a mess on Sunday morning, when we started setting up the timers again at 7am?
we killed 4 table tennis balls during the weekend?

Ron does not know why he moves so slowly and inaccurately in competitions?

Help!

The 5x5 BLD seemed very fishy to me. It was something like centers, edges, then solve like a 3x3.
