Amstelveen open 2012 (22-Sept)

[MarcelP]

So.. how was it! Do tell us more!

It was fun. There is a really cool and mellow fibe between competitors. It was nice to meet Ron and Anneke. Joing a competition really puts stress on my solves.. LOL My hands where shaking like crazy and I had no control over my cube. My look ahead was absolutely zero.. Still managed to get a nice 40.04 average.

Fastest solve:

Well gee, you did really well there if I may say so :tu

 

[hcfong]

damn, that venue is big.. at eindhoven open we were stuck in a small room somewhere on the second floor with 50 or so competitors >_>

Oi! The room we were in last week was perfectly adequate for the purpose of the competition. You have no idea what stuck in a small room is really like ;p

Thanks! You will be there just as fast in no time. I saw that you progressed from 1.30 to 50-ish at the same speed as I did..

That is WITH practice indeed. I don't practice NEARLY as often. I cube all day when I have the change (lunch breaks and such) but I don't go hours on end practicing an algorithm for instance


Endgame.. imagine the same number of people we had, in half the space. *giggle*

Bruno Vervoort told me Zonhoven Open 2012 was a nightmare in terms of the venue size, can you confirm this?

Well I believe that's called The Netherlands

Well, I am away from home 12 hours a day for work, and I have a family with small children and I do a study at night so it is not like I could practice hours per day... LOL But I must admit, I have put in a full month of learning PLL's only. One hour a day..

WHAHAHAHA!! :tu :tu :tu

Marcel, you looked very nervous, yet you did some good solves. All except the 4th one actually

So can I

The N8W8 venue is actually the same building but obviously MUCH bigger

Yes, I was very nervous. That is strange because I am not a nervous type person. My hands where shaking a lot. So therefor I am more than happy with my first results.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

You did great for a first time! My first was a DNF since I went totally blank, you finished all 5! :tu

Found at Amstelveen open: 1 Stackmat timer. It does not have a name on it, but there are a LOT of little stickers on the back of it. Please send me a PM or reply in the thread if this is yours!
