Toronto Open, Spring 2014

[Lazy Einstein]

Ugh wish I could go. Have a school trip to Ottawa

Quit school.




Jk. There will always be more comps. Ottawa one is in May!

 

[Coolster01]

I WILL be going!

Goals:

2x2: sub 1.45 single, something in between fricken 1.69 and 2.35 average to fill in the space xD
3x3: sub 8.93 single (2nd best), sub 10 average pleaaasssseeeeee!
4x4: gotta beat that 38.25, sub 46 average
5x5: sub 1:38 single, sub 1:48 average
OH: sub 15.5 single, sub 20 average
BLD: JUST SUB2 NOW, ITS BEEN LONG ENOUGH GODDANGIT STRESSFUL RETARD EVENT
Pyra: Sub 4 single meh, sub 5.75 average (not practicing this event much recently)
Skewb: sub 7.5 single, sub 9 average

All pretty easy except sub 10 average and sub 38.25 4x4 single might be tough.

EDIT: forgot about BLD means, just get one is a pretty good goal. Pretty hard actually

 

[antoineccantin]

Okay, I'll do goals too.

2x2: sub-2.99 average
3x3: podium
OH: please, please give me a decent single that isn't between 11.59 and 11.99
BLD: mean and/or sub-1 single
4x4: podium, decent single
5x5: lol, whomcares
pyra: remember how to solve
skewb: NR single and average (at least sub-7 average)

BLD will be the toughest.

 

[Lazy Einstein]

Second comp ever; just for fun still while I am learning.

But I'd like to see
2x2: Sub-5 single, Sub-7 average
3x3: Sub-20 single, Sub 27 average.
OH: None really. Still learning OH algs and have like 30-50 solves under my belt. Sooo I guess sub-1 single, sub 1:20 average or better than both if I get some practice time in between family and exams.
BLD: What's a commutator?!
4x4: Cutoff lolllllll
5x5: WR single
Pyra: Beat first comp average(Haven't practice since so unlikely)
Skewb: See Pyra goal.

They're ALL for fun, and there's always learning!

 

[Lazy Einstein]

Indeed. I apologize for the ambiguity. I meant that I was going with no particular outcome in mind. Those goals are more what I think I will achieve than what I am striving to. I am just going to solve and hope for the best instead of pushing myself beat PBs. Hope that better defines what I meant by "fun". No stress, no worries, just solve to solve and have a fun relaxing day. I am sure if I was at a level to compete for a NR, CR, WR, I'd be less relaxed. Hope that better defines what I meant to say.
Comps are fun, solving is fun, learning is fun.

 

[Genius4Jesus]

Goals for me...

2x2: sub-3.5 average, single doesn't mean much
3x3: sub-10.5 average, 8.5 single
4x4: sub-40 average, 36 single
5x5: 1:35 average, sub-1:30 single
OH: sub-19 average, sub-15 single
Pyraminx: Don't really care

Does this mean as soon as you get one PB you're going to sandbag the rest of the day?

Goals:

Same as Kit's ^
Also 2x2: WR single...

 

[Coolster01]

If I do an event, I'm not sandbagging it. (That doesn't mean I won't drop events... )

 

[antoineccantin]

4x4: sub-40 average, 36 single

New goal: don't let Jonathan beat me at 4x4.

 

[Genius4Jesus]

New goal: don't let Jonathan beat me at 4x4.

Funny, I thought you are the only person going who is faster than me at 4x4.

Edit: Possible first place? Maybe? Maybe not?

It would be hilarious if you'd get 1st place in Toronto after 4th in Montreal
You might actually win.

It's a possibility, but I don't think I can pull off a first place finish, more likely podium.

I just did a live Radio Interview for Radio-Canada in the GTA/Southern Ontario.

They said they might come to the comp to film some footage. I also slipped in a word to encourage sponsors

Ambitous goal, but i think ill give it a shot too. three weeks away from cubing isn't helping though
