Athens Fall 2015 -- October 24th 2015, Athens GA

Goals, because why not? :3

2x2: Sub-2.5 average, I guess? Don't care that much.
3x3: Sub-Pavan average (probably not happening, but I can dream ;_; ), sub-7 single (also unlikely)
4x4: Sub-37 average
5x5: Sub-1:10 average (haven't practiced much, so unlikely)
OH: Beat Clark, if he goes :3 (please go, Clark ;_; )
Skewb: I might not even take it seriously, skewbin' sidewayzzzzz

Mega: Sub-1:08 average?
Pyra: Sub-6 average

2x2: lol I thought I would never beat that average
3x3: I mean, I did pretty well, guess I can't really complain too much ^_^ (but I'm going to anyway, freakin' Pavan ;_; )
4x4: ayyy lmao
5x5: Can't really complain about that one, solid average ^_^
OH: I honestly wish I didn't beat Clark, I feel really bad that he didn't podium ;_;
Skewb: I have no words for this one, it was beautiful :')
Mega: Barely :)
Pyra: +2 cost me first place :( but not that big of a deal

Had a great time! Thanks to Katie and Jacob for organizing (lol Jacob, that 3x3 podium guess, you got lucky XD), and Chris for delegating (is that a word?) :D
 
2x2: Sub-3 average (Probably not happening, I haven't done 2x2 seriously in a while)
3x3: Sub-9 single, sub-10.57 average. Sub-10 probably not happening, but I can dream right?
4x4: Sub-40 single, sub-43 average.
5x5: Sub-1:30 single, sub-1:38 average.
Pyraminx: Sub-6 average, closer to 5.5 hopefully.
Skewb: Sub-7 average (Really depends on scrambles). Beat Ray. :)
OH: Sub-22 single, sub-26 average (I really hate OH and don't really practice)
Megaminx: LOL, I hate Megaminx. Sub-1:40 single, sub-1:45 average. (I averaged over 2:00 a few days ago. Amazing what a decent Megaminx can do).

Help run a smooth competition. Like Jiffy.

2x2: FINALLY A SUB-3 AVERAGE.. by .01.
3x3: :(
4x4: I'm so happy about the single and average. 4/5 solves had OLL parity, including the 37 and 39 :D
5x5: Should have had a sub-1:30 single, but foot cramps and N-perm.
Pyraminx: Eh. 2nd solve should have been sub-4, but I suck.
Skewb: I hate Skewb.
OH: Crap average, but sub-20 single!
Megamix: Holy crap 1:27 average and 1:17 single. My actual PB single is 1:16.00. And last week in the weekly comp, I got a 2:10 average lol.

This competition went so smoothly, I'm amazed. Thanks to Jacob and Chris for being awesome organizers/delegates. We worked great together! Can't wait to do this again sometime! And thanks to staff and everyone who helped judge, run, scramble etc. It would not have gone so well without you guys. :) By far my favorite competition.

In other news, I have a huge bruise on my shin from sitting like a pro. But it was worth it.

I also have updated the GA records sheet (signature) with the results from this competition!
 
I already posted goals, but it was a bit too early, and my goals have changed. Also, I wanted to bump this thread, since this is happening in a few days.

2x2: Second Round, MAYBE finals
3x3: Second Round, Sub 20 Average
4x4: Sub 1:25 Average, Sub-Noah Single
OH: Make Cutoff
Pyraminx: I recently switched to L4E, and my times have reduced greatly. Sub 10 Average
Skewb: PLZ SUB 10 AVG ;-;

2x2: yay and no
3x3: 17 average and 14 single 0_o
4x4: 1:22 average! ehhhhhhh
Skewb: FML ;-;
Pyraminx: *says in southern accent* barely
OH: I officially hate Ra Perms and V Perms.

Pretty decent :D Couldn't stay for the "surprise", but excellent competition nonetheless.
 
We doing goals?
2x2: lol
3x3: loler
OH: lolest
4x4: sub-1 avg
5x5: sub-2 avg again..

3x3: +2
Oh: made cutoff
4x4: 1:00.40, next time
5x5: yup
Skewb: pb I think?
Pyra:
Mega: 1:12 single 1:21 avg, not going to complain!

Competition did not catch on fire
 
But this competition was fireeeeee

It was legendary! Y'all were incredible organisers!



Anyone know when the results are coming out?

I'm still checking data against the score cards. There were A LOT of score cards.
Since after all, we ended up doing both tentative events AND added 3 additional rounds that weren't originally scheduled.

I've got a meeting and a paper tomorrow, so I'll probably finish and submit everything to results Wednesday or Thursday.

Maybe you guys can organize a COUGH COUGH supercomp COUGH COUGH

Cool, I'll be on the lookout :)
 
I don't want to hold a "supercomp", because of the following reasons:

1. Initial investment into securing a large venue for multiple days isn't just a few hundred dollars, it's at least $1,000+.
2. We don't have enough experienced staff like the midwest, northeast, west coast, etc.
3. It's a a logistical pain, which generally isn't that fun for organisers. Atlanta Open in particular was tough because of the competitor to staff ratio. That's not happening again anytime soon without some changes, the next few competitions are probably going to have <100 competitor limits.

However, Katie and Jacob are planning something really cool really soon. Really soon!

Just a thought :P
