Thanks to everyone for coming out - it was a great showing, almost too great for the room that I had booked! Hopefully there will be another UMich comp before the year is up, but who knows what'll happen. Tomorrow, I'll try to upload some videos, but I'm totally beat now and will be sleeping shortly. I have video from all final round solves, all solves were done one at a time. I also have my 10.00 clock average on video, but sadly not the 9.20, we were behind schedule at that point and I was running around too much to figure out who could record it.
 
Lost Lubix Zhanchi At TreeTown 2013. Will make trade if not found for one.

Hey guys!

I know this is NOT the BST thread, but this is kinda a two way forum division beginner's method running into a G-Perm kind of thing.

I seem to have lost my 55m Lubix Zhanchi @ the TreeTown2013 Competition.

If you have found it please PM me.

If you have one to trade then I can probably make an offer with you

Thanks. Hopefully you can find it and send it back or something.
 
Sig change for your feet PB?:)

Nah, ttw scrambles suck.

Not many other ones but:

DYK:

YES! Oh wait, not a PB...
Blake should've taken me down in 3x3 finals.
I gave him $3.
If clock is stupid, Y U NO FEET?! xD
I'm a little child who stands up and wears earplugs. The next andy smith?! (well he isnt really a child but whatever)

DYK...

You can drink water from a bowl?
or saucer?
If chester says it, it's true?
Kit actually DOES know how to say John Brechon's name?
Karma stinks?
I didn't go to bed until 4:30 the morning before?
That was James and Chester's fault?
I set 6 competition PBs?
I still wasn't happy with my times?
Brandon DIDN'T get second place in BLD?
Quizno's will sometimes give your sub to someone else?
I failed hard at FMC?
I still came in 5th?
The soft cutoff for OH was 45?
My first two solves were 45.81 and 45.90?
Needless to say I didn't get to finish my Average?
Are you Calling Mitchell?
"Please let me do this" "LOL"?

There were so many DNFs in blind I got 8th/17 (and I suck)?
Lingao clock pins fall and cause you to get clock avg DNF and two 30s solves when your avg is 15?
3BLD is hard when pros sit down after you and leave before you?
When I got to the comp. I told myself "3x3 avg of 22 would be good" and I got it!?
I missed 3x3 round 2 by two people who showed up late and were allowed to compete?
Even though two late people passed me, if my avg was .26 seconds faster I would have moved on?
Missing Eric's speech makes me want to cry?
I invited Eric to Indiana 2013!?
Eric taught me how to do 3BLD from youtube and I competed w/ him at my first comp.?
Competitions are fun?!?!
 
Did you know...

- Our motto for the car trip was "Don't leave the 401"?
- I typed Kit's phone number wrong and sent a text to a 9-digit number instead?
- AJ came all the way from Colorado?
- I initially thought Trevor Spitzley was emolover?
- Kit used my certificates from everything I've ever podium'd in for the BLD papers?
- Kit's girlfriend talks to her cube when she solves?
- She is awesome?
- Yuxuan had the best 4x4x4, that at least 3 other people used to compete?
- She is awesome too?
- I unintentionally DNF'd the first round of 2x2x2 and clock?
- For FMC I found a 19 move F2L solution with 1 or 2 premoves in 20 mins?
- I could not find I decent LL, and DNF'd the solve because I wrote a LL down in the last 5 mins and got it wrong?
- There was a deer near one of the parking lots?
- I touched it?
- After the competition, we went to Krogers to buy American cereal?
- Eric was overjoyed when we found Fruity Pebbles?
- I owe Eric a road trip, so we'll probably both be at the next Michigan competition?


Sarah got a DNF avg in finals
She had two rage DNF's
And two f perms before

Sarah Strong DNFed intentionally of rage?
Sarah got a DNF avg in finals

...yeah. The first DNF I screwed up the cross and just stopped, and on the second one I did 5 or 6 F2L pairs and just stopped. I haven't made 3x3x3 finals in any competition for a long time so I'm not used to it being so intense. :P

On the bright side, I beat my PB 3x3x3 average in competition twice, which I'm super happy about. I've only been trying to sub12 in competition for over 3 years.

I had no business getting a 3:17 BLD solve?
My PB before that solve at home was 3:47?
I set a PB in every event that I competed in?
That at this rate, my comp PB streak will have to end soon?
I'm not calling Mitchell?
I added six people last minute to the 2x2 final, expanding the field to 16?
I was 16th in the first round of 2x2?
That I had no idea that I was the last person to advance to the final when expanding it?
The scrambles for first round clock were incredibly lucky for me?
Brandon Mikel 69 lol?

- There was a deer near one of the parking lots?

Yeah, that's pretty normal for our north campus.

- I touched it?

Whaaaaaat. That's not normal for north campus deer at all.

I am amazing at FMC...

My 13.65 clock average in the finals has got to be a PB Ao5 for me...
I gave myself parity on 6x6 and then stopped the timer to DNF the solve...
Eric is the first Canadian I've ever met that says "Eh?"...
As an American, I take Fruity Pebbles for granted...
The judges were very hard workers...

Okay I'm gonna try my first DYK, here's goes nothing...

DYK...

I'm a decent business man?
Cause I sold 7 cubes yesterday?
All for about $50?
I had the same judge for almost all of my 2x2 solves?
I suck at thinking of things for my own DYK?

Okay I'm done I cant think of any more. Haha hopefully I'll get better at these in the future!
 
DYK...

Crabs are sharp?
Pink is beast?
Just because you have a 10 and two 11's in an average, that doesn't guarantee you a sub-13 average?
Eric is one of the nicest "Greats" that I've ever met?
I drove from Denver?
I have SO much respect for Ryan Vall for letting the judges know his 6.26 Clock solve was a mis-scramble?
The judges were rooting for me the entire time?
The judges love my color scheme?
Silence is my worst nightmare when cubing?

I'll see if I can think anymore later on.
