It was fun! Thanks Sesi!
Noteworthy things:
-I failed at pyra in the finals (that never happens /sarcasm)
-I got 3rd place in 3bld (I don't even know when I last did 3bld)
-I'm not completely terrible in Skewb
-First comp ever where we were AHEAD of schedule the entire day
-lo(h)l
-When you don't practice 2x2 and 4x4, you get bad.
-It was very rainy outside. My jeans are still wet after almost 3 hours indoors.
-It's bad when all the scrambles completely disappear. Like, legit bad. (Did we end up finding them? I think I heard that we did, but then later someone said that what was found didn't actually have the scrambles.)

Sorry, should have worded that more properly. What I meant was that at home I practiced on a QJ timer so using a different timer (stackmat) in competition messed me up.

-Keaton has anger issues
It was only for that though
I shouldn't have gotten so excited after the second 13, made me too nervous.

Didn't perform so well, but I am glad I finally got to organize my first competition, and that (from what I have heard) people enjoyed it! 
A little late but...
Did You Know:
-This competition really happened
-Running a cube competition is like playing Diner Dash in real life
-Random prizes are cool
-Always wait for the green light to go
-When you run a competition it’s pretty hard to practice for the events you’re in (oops)
-What I lacked in cubing skills I made up in organizational skills
-Having people from my dorm and hall judge was very helpful
-We added 3x3 OH Finals, 4x4 Finals, and Skewb
-We finished 3BLD Finals around 3:50 when we were supposed to finish at 5:15
-Sweet 16
-Thanksgiving table of cubers is thing
-Clean-up turned into a very awesome and spontaneous 2 hour dance party

Kevin skipped us?
So I was the cool kid?
So many nubs?
Red light means stop?
Green light means go?
Group B pyra scrambles were lol?
But that's ok I didn't want the WR anyway?
Sesi is awesome?
Eli makes conservative schedules?
Fastest solve of comp was an LL skip?
I have now judged and had an official LL skip?
Keaton needs anger management?
Everybody thought that someone opened fire?
You're not allowed to talk to me while I'm inspecting?
And you're definitely not allowed to pressure me to break the WR single during inspection?
so shut up?

Well, given the fact that they were distracting you you could tell the delegate, you would get an extra attempt (do worse obviously), and then they know that if they want to see you break WRs they should just shut the **** up

Katie and I had a really great time! It was fun to meet lots of new people, and to see some familiar faces again! The competition was very well run. I was very pleasantly surprised that we were running ahead of schedule for pretty much the entire day, very nicely done! The staff was really great, and overall there was a very fun atmosphere! Thanks to the organization team and to Felix for delegating! This competition was a blast!

I'm glad that a bunch of you seemed to have enjoyed the competition overall! Hopefully we'll hold another in the fall (mid-October??).
Also the results are up!
