Yaaaay

Haha, following your trends, you should have gotten WR at Nottingham Summer, so if you're not on schedule to get WR then, maybe I have a chance of winning!

Daaaang, congrats, Evan! Your first WR average without a DNF!

 

[Ollie]

Woop

6.64 average in the final too, with a DNF... Whoa
3/5 DNF's and 2 fails on that scramble, though xD

Thanks! Haha, as a world-class clock solver yourself, you have a good chance of winning no matter what. That being said, what could really improve your chances of winning would be to keep round 1 in the morning. It may be a small sample size, but my round 1 results at Nottingham and WGC were both rubbish, and it wasn't a coincidence. Really though, please don't put it in the morning!!

Thanks! Still had a counting 7 though - I almost like my finals average more since it's the first with all counting solves sub7, even though it did have a DNF. Hopefully even the worst solve will be sub7 (and also not DNF) someday. My average is now once again better than your single!

Also, this was my first WR which wasn't by 0.11.
Scrambles for both rounds (including both groups in round 1; I was in group 1) were pretty nice - I can probably get Daniel or Mollerz to post them eventually.

Somewhat off-topic: new PB single of 4.44 while practicing today.
Scramble: (-2, 2) / (0, -5) / (3, 0) / (-2, 5) / (-2) / (2) / (-2) / (-1) / (4) / (-5) / Uddd

England is really rubbing off on you, eh?

Chris is putting the schedule together, not me (he has a lot more experience with how long everything takes to run, I don't really have a clue!), but I know you've already posted in the comp thread about it, so it should be a consideration! I would also prefer clock R1 to be at least after the first couple of events ^^

Yes please!!
