Brown Cubing Day 2012

Broke my PB single and average. Am satisfied with my performance in the first round. I wanted to throw my cubes away during the second round. I always say my first three solves of the day are the best, and then it's all downhill from there.
 
I already mass-mailed all the competitors, but if you could check your bags for a modded black ss 4x4, I'd really appreciate it. I modded it last week, so the ratio of time spent modding to time spent using is absurdly high and I'd love to actually get some benefit out of the hours I spent on that. It was last seen during the 4x4 finals; I know Kian used it after I did, and then I was sitting at the scrambling table for a while, and he probably gave it back to me but I never put it away, or something like that.
 
-9.96 full step (not pb) (on vid)
-11.71 average (on vid)
-top 3 in 7 events, winning only bld w/ a 1:53
-something like 6 official pbs. 5x5 second best solve of life. good improvements on 4x4/5x5/clock avg.
-noice
-brb sleeping for 9,000 hours
 
Accomplishments for me:
-sub-6 2x2!
-sub-15 3x3 single, sub-18 average
-sub-10 pyraminx average (missed 3rd place by .06)
-won master magic

Did you know... my 4x4 only pops in competition?
 
Of note is scramble 1 from round 2: D2 L' B2 R2 B2 D F U' B U L2 U' B R U B L' D F. That's the one I got a 10.25 (pb!) on, Mike Kotch sub-10ed, and other people did well too.

51etm/9.55 (+2 = 11.55) = 5.34tps

Also, you can hear me in the first 15 seconds of Andrew's 9.15 average video.

Yeah, I know at least Tim and I had that same solution as well.
 
9.96 sec. Both of my official sub10s had h perms. The other had a lot higher tps. The pauses/failed oll ... Bobby also had the same solution, but w/ cross on top, lolnoob. Def switching to the OLL alg everyone else used.
