World Championships 2013 - Las Vegas

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

I think the organizers and helping staff should all get hugs.

Any idea on where and when the next worlds is going to be?

Mats would've won without the +2 in the last solve. So sorry for him. Anyway, congratulations to Feliks, he definitely deserved it.

On the other hand, from what I saw Feliks took it very easy on his last solve, since he know he already won.

THIS! This was a GREAT comp/Worlds and I appreciate all the hard work Tyson, Tim, and crew did for this! I think it turned out great and seemed (from participant perspective to run smoothly. SO HUGS TO ALL!

So I'm going to be around here until Friday (I'm taking a proper holiday while I'm here), so I have a lot of time to fill in with activities. I've already decided I'll go on a bus tour to Hoover Dam one day, and possibly to the Grand Canyon (although that seems less practicable). Other than that, I'm short of specific ideas other than having a look around.

If anyone else is going to be around for a few days and has room for someone to tag along with their plans I'm keen (if you can bear putting up with me ). Send me a PM or something if you're interested.

Otherwise, I'd love to hear suggestions from people of things to do around Las Vegas.

NOTE: I do not intend to participate in any gambling or strip-show type activities.


EDIT: Oh and congratulations to everyone that did well in this competition, and specifically to my homie fazzles :tu

By the way, who won BLD? What's the time? Who won 2x2?

 

[David Zemdegs]

Cameron won the 2x2. I'm so happy for him.
I think this is the first time that the current world record average holder going into the world championships has actually won the world championships.

Team Canada won SSBM crew battle. Mad hype.

WHAA?! When and where was the SSBM??

Did Feliks use a Dayan Zhanchi for the final?

Worlds was such a blast! Katie and I had such a great time seeing everyone and also meeting many new people! Many congratulations to Feliks for becoming World Champion in the main event! Congratulations to all the world champions, but I would like to send a shout out to Cameron Stollery for becoming the 2x2 world champion, Marcell Endrey for sweeping every BLD event, and Kevin Hays for winning 5x5-7x7! This competition was so awesome! I can't wait for Worlds 2015!

Time to compare Worlds 2011 to 2013. From what I could see there was only a very small improvement in most events and for some events the results were even worse. However it seems the major progression has been in 6, 7, 4bld and 5 bld. 3bld and 3mbld were "not living up to expectations" although still awesome

Massive thanks to Chris and Austin for running the live stream all weekend, I know we in the chat probably ruined the experience for you but it was excellent to watch and talk to other cubers, albeit about BS half the time. You did a great job in the finals especially considering that we could see each solve with poor quality cameras.

Congratulations to all that won. Kevin Hays was a beast at big cubes, I felt a bit sorry for faz when he lost 5x5 finals despite winning the three rounds before it. 3x3 finals was too epic, not one sub 7 yet it was probably the most intense cubing I've seen, all the finalists did fantastic under pressure.

@fazdad: was that really you in the chat?
