Well, the later the better for me :P

Does anyone know where I can get a blindfold? I tried the warehouse but they didn't have any.

You could buy on online but then shipping comes into it. There's a website where you can have a custom blindfold.




I'd love to see 3x3 finals filmed. Does anyone have a HD camera I don't think my ipod would do. I am happy to film myself with it but the battery may not last that long.

All the best for those competing tomorrow! Have heaps of fun and break heaps of records :P sorry won't be able to attend, but hope there will be more comps next year~
 
I'd like the 2x2 scrambles. For both rounds they were quite easy. Especially the final.



Also how do you feel you did.
I got my sub 4 2x2 avg like I wanted. Got a good single in 3x3 but didn't improve on average from last year. 4x4 was good. 5x5 was average. 6x6 I somehow. Bet my pb single by like 20 seconds. The mean was okay but the two singles were the lower end of average. 7x7 mean was a pb. Two sub 7 singles. Oh was alright I got two sub 30 singles. 28.40 and 28.41. Feet a got a corner twist on the second solve. Pyraminx I got 2 dnf without those a could of won. But a had the fastest average in the comp. square 1 was okay I can't seem to sub 1 much any more but I don't practice.

I place in one more event this year than last year and won something. 2x2. Feet doesn't really count when you are the only one completing.

Well my only goal for 3x3 was a sub dene average to justify my plaque from worlds which i did in the first round so i was happy with that but then failed next two rounds and got second. Angelu is to damn fast.
When Dhanasit says he averages something on big cubes at home he will be a lot faster in comp (like more than 30 seconds faster on 6 and 7)
Dhanasit held 4x4 NR avg for like 3 hours (cause of almost no parity) when i failed first round with 3 DP one OP and one PP barley even getting sub-1 (58).
Then finals got 3 DP and one OP but got 46 single and 52 average national records and was so happy.
Overall Pb for 5x5 single and average (by 5 seconds wat) as well as 7x7 single
Dhanasit and i suck at 2x2 but i still managed to podium (also last place in pyraminx with my pb average and first solves since worlds)
Sam got 1.84 2x2 NR single in finals using ortega and i have no idea how cause i couldnt see anything that good (easy face but nothing else)
I should work on my 3x3 to OH ratio cause i suck at OH

Dhanasit and Aneurin were convinced that i failed 4x4 first cause i do orange and apparently that makes you slow

Also when youve only been cubing a year and smash the 4x4 NRs David calls you over and the judges/scramblers all tell you to double your practice time, and if you need a coach/manager

Great comp and looking forward to next year already

First of all I would like to thank all the organisers, judges, etc. Without you guys we wouldn't have this comp. Also thanks to all the competitors who turned up even though they knew they wouldn't podium and such; I'm sure you guys have had a great day. This also gives people who do manage to podium a sense of accomplishment :p. In particular congratulations to Sam Paul for his 2x2 NR; Tom Nelson for his 3x3 multiblind NR; and Alex Asbery for his 4x4 single and average NRs you guys are awesome!

As to how I felt, it was a great competition with so many new faces who turned out to be so much better than expected (#Alex). Hopefully I'll see even more people next competition!

No it was the srcambles being prejudice. They don't like you if you use orange.

Even the scrambles in finals didnt really have any nice orange or red first centres so it tested how far i could plan in inspection. But 4x4 was still intense between 1st and 2nd (3rd was just a bit behind, like over 20 seconds :))

I still dont know what sam did to get such a fast single, he must have done something weird for the face but was a good reaction after :tu
