The Fantasy Cubers competition we ran alongside the final round certainly made things even more interesting. Did anyone here participate? I think we looked at the results later and calculated the optimal Fantasy Cuber team had an average of 12.99. Adam Zamora got a 13.18. Anyone do better?
3x3 BLD was exciting. After Tyson's 1:23.27, I got a 1:23.10. Only problem was that I messed up my last setup move, should have been an R' but I did a R2 instead, ending with a +2 penalty. Leyan then proceeded to kick both our asses with his 1:17.

For Fantasy Cubers, you have five "solves." For each solve, you pick a cuber from the final round competitors. You then use the cuber's actual result for that solve for your solve. For instance, if I picked Dan Dzoan for my first solve and Dan got a 11.91 as his first solve, my first result would be 11.91. You can only pick each cuber once, and at the end you drop the fastest and slowest times as usual and average the middle three to get your final result. It was a fun little game anyone, even the non-cubers, could participate in, and it put more suspense in all the final round solves. We did these solves one by one, and the room got quiet during each solve just like at US Nationals 2006.
This was an idea conceived last weekend and implemented very informally yesterday. We had people write their picks on extra scorecards and keep track of their own scores. Perhaps some enterprising programmer (with access to the WCA database?) can put something together so that people can participate over the web and have results calculated for them? That would make things even more interesting - you can pick your final round cubers before the competition actually takes place, but if you pick a cuber who doesn't show up to the competition or doesn't make it to the final round, you get a DNS/DNF for that solve.

I think I got last place in fantasy cubing. I ended up with a 16.01 average. It shouldn't have been so bad, but my last two results failed me *eyes jun*

Jun, in the future when you register for competitions, please write your name as Kim Jun-Hyuk, which is how it appears in the database. Unless you want it changed...
Just as a reminder for everyone... spell your name correctly, and write it exactly as it's in the database. Don't suddenly decide that Daniel becomes Dan...

Okayy, sorry about that

It's okay. Had you not failed, I wouldn't have been last. Then my result would have been unremarkable.

i failed at caltech... especially OH.. im suppose to be getting sub 25's but no, instead i got 2 counting 31's ending me with an average of 29.5... 3*3 speed sucked for me too... i accidently warmed up too much so when i got to the actual solves my hands were tired and twitching like nothing else , they even twitched when i put my hands on the timer GOSH!!!
well now at least i know not to warm up too much before an event... 10-20 should be fine
