DYK...

Chrissy boy is a nub?
Staraek (spelling) is pretty nice IRL, and asked me to sign his 4x4?
Signing a 4x4 is freakin hard?
Chris sucks at 2x2?
I, and the rest of the 2x2 podium gave Chris a special shoutout for making this (being us all making podium) possible?
I failed last round of 3x3?
I suck at every event?
I had an 8 move+4 tips pyra solve, 4.50?
I suck at pyra?
#yearofwalker?
Walker is seriously really good at skewb?
Skewb and 2x2 are wastes of time?
I suck at 4x4?
My 4x4 is actually really good?
PLL parity 30 with fail PLL?
Mountain dew failed me when I needed it most (dammit Hays!)?

I'll think of more later... Fun comp

DYK...

...Texas still needs to step up it's game?
Every time people from out of state (or especially out of the country XP) comes to a Texas competition, they place really well (or win). What are we, a greeting center or a state full of skilled cubers!? Come on!

Ahem, good job everyone. :tu :3

I'm sorry, but how the heck have the results not been posted yet, it's been 5 days since the comp.

I'm sorry, but how the heck have the results not been posted yet, it's been 5 days since the comp.

Possible reasons:

- Shelley had to (presumably) fly out to Houston to delegate this one. Depending on connecting flights, she might have lost significant time getting home due to weather delays.
- Checking scorecards takes time. Better to send good results later rather than bad results early. (I learned this one already.)
- There might be an incident, a workbook error or a data entry error that is being worked out with the results team.

While we all would like to see results posted as quickly as possible, delegates are volunteers and have their own lives to deal with too. If there's a significant delay, there's likely a good reason for that.

Sorry, you're right. I was just shocked that it took so long by comparison to many comps where the results are posted the day of or after.

DYK... (Some lessons in southern slang I learned)

If y'all is the southern slang for "you all" then is "we all" pronounced "w'all"?

If a feeder is slang for an on-ramp (like on a highway), then what is an exit-ramp? A pooper?


"W'all better get on this pooper so w'all can get to Wal-Mart."
