Wasn't quite sure how to announce, so oh well. This will do.

You didn't use any grouping?

they were all final rounds, so I didn't want to split into groups. Luckily Jon Choi was there not really competing in much (i.e. scrambling), and Chris was very generous with his helping out.

Thanks to Dan and his family for the awesome competition!

Did you know?
I broke at least 5 PB at the competition and most of them were official solves.
I dropped my 4x4 average by over 10 seconds in less than a day.
I had 3 +2 for my official 4x4 average.
Jigaloo made my Meffert's 4x4 better and I used it instead of my Eastsheen for all my official solves.
My parents got lost on the way to pick me up, so I stayed at Dan's house for 2 hours after everyone else left.
I could not solve the master pyramorphix at all.
Thanks Dan for letting me stay there and cube with me for a while. Dan is a very nice person. Thanks for lending me a V-5 for my official solves.
I failed pyraminx.
Many people failed pyraminx.
Waffle's pyraminx is too loose and unusable.
I did a team BLD with Bob in 2:18 (first time). His system is quite clever.
Patrick Jameson got 3.71 on OLL parity then dropped the cube on a cake.
Chris Hardwick gives awesome advices and good luck.
Chris Hardwick warms up for his solves by exercising.
Waffle is faster at LBL than Roux on big cubes.
Waris has an awesome shirt. (I can solve the cube in 9 seconds, what can I do for you?)
Erik Johnson is more amazing at EJF2L than I imagined.
A competition without 3x3 is so much more fun.

I told you it was great after using it.

Hey everyone,

I just got back home after a fun trip and a great competition. I took a detour through Delaware on the way there and back to hang out with Daniel Beyer, which was fun. Also I learned quite a lot from trying new ways to prepare for big cubes BLD. I'll probably post a thread soon about this, as Daniel and I were trying to come up with good ideas for best ways to prepare the day of, and the days leading up to a competition.

Yes congrats again to Dan for the amazing results! Also, thanks again for holding big cubes BLD as events! All in all I had a great time, and am looking forward to seeing many of you, and of course many many more, at Worlds which is my next competition. It was great seeing so many familiar faces, as well as meeting lots of new people. I had a blast everyone! Hope everyone else had a good time as well!

Chris

My pyraminx is godly
and second
the only reason that my LBL times are better then my roux times on big cubes is that my LBL is godly as well

Oh and the 5x5 races between Siraj, Kian, Kyle, Patrick, Gavin, Ethan, and I were epic

And Anthony "Don't call it a comeback" Hsu!

Indeed they were. The only thing I was competent at all day. I recall the one race where I got a 59.xx and came in FOURTH. That was pretty nuts.

I had more fun at this competition than probably any I've been to, despite the fact that the phrase "miserable failure" doesn't begin to describe my performance.

Any videos of the 5x5 WR single?

The reason you did so well on 4x4 is because there were no 3x3 n00bs there.

good square-1 solve !!! ;-)
and congratulation 5x5 6x6 and 7x7 ;-)

Any videos of the 5x5 WR single?

No. Dan was doing his solves at the registration table so that he could do other work as his cube was being scrambled and then solve after. My brother was the judge .

So there was a competition at Dan's place, where he did a 5x5x5 solve and a live webcam (and other camera's) were present.....yet nobody thought it might be a good idea to tape it :confused:

I guess that is one point for improvement next year

 

[Paul Wagner]

We should have cameras at every table one per every two solving stations.

Well I got a few solves on tape (not one, though), or so I thought. I got home and realized my memory card was still stuck in my computer. And I couldn't read the "no memory" alert on my camera b/c the screen is broken.

Or not. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets nervous when they know they're being taped.

I had the webcam on for the first 2 solves, but after the 1:26, I turned it off. It had made me pop on 6x6 during OLL parity making me lose a WR avg.

That is an evil webcam. Are you sure it wasn't a transformer? (check if Megan Fox is near)

I sense a conspiracy here! There was no 1:07, it's all fake! You just wanted my WR! GRRRR
