wow nice job everyone... dan a 13.xx!? wow

 

[alexc]

Wow, that was an awesome competition, besides the gusty wind.

I pretty much sucked in 2x2, except for a 5.68 single. I got a 16 s average in the 1st and 2nd 3x3 rounds, but I got like an 18 avg in the finals. (yuck) I got a 1:23 avg for 4x4 with a 1:13 single, which was better than I expected. In 3x3 bld, I came in second with 1:28.86. I won multi bld with 5/6. It really should have been 6/6, if not for a REALLY stupid exe mistake. I'm so bummed. In 3x3 oh, I thought I did terribly, but I came in third anyway.

Wow, Alex - awesome multiBLD (and BLD too)! You're as good in competition as you are at home. It looks like that is the third highest non-perfect multiBLD ever (to Rowe's 22/30 and Dennis's 14/20).

I think Mike means since the new rules have been in effect.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Actually, I meant in terms of actual score (which is practically the same thing as saying under the new rules). The others all officially count below 2/2.

 

[Pedro]

oh, right

 

[Alex DiTuro]

It was definately a great competition especially for my first. I'm kinda upset because I didn't do so well on the 3x3x3. And because I came in last in the 4x4x4 and the 5x5x5. It was a great competition nevertheless.

 

[pjk]

Dang Dan, congrats. Amazing times. Congrats on the 4x4 NAR.

 

[masterofthebass]

Yeah, it was a great competition. I'm actually w/o internet and am writing this in the driveway of a friend

The 13 came out of nowhere. Every solve just came together, and didn't have anything especially bad about it. For 5x5, I was getting like nothing over 1:36 during warm-ups, so I thought I would've had a chance at the WR. I just couldn't get my lookahead down. For multi... I think that's my biggest disappointment. I decided to use 3-cycles for the corners, because it was just 3 easy cycles. On the bottom I had the Pi orientation and I did a cool alg that Jason Baum showed me at DC, F (RUR'U')x2 F' and then the edge fix. The thing is, I did the wrong one of 2 edge fixes, and ended up only a 3 cycle off...

Either way, a fun competition in the sun (I ended up having sun-burn on my left arm only, and my dad (since he feel asleep ) is as red as a crab).

 

[Alex DiTuro]

Dan you're really lucky you didn't get sunburned bad, my neck hurts pretty freakin' bad and my arms are burnt to a crisp. Maybe cuz it's my first burn of the season. Anyway, I got some pretty good videos of your solves. I only caught one of your sub-1 4x4x4 solves though. I'll probably post them to youtube today or tomorrow.

 

[KConny]

Wow, Dan, awesome results, I'm really impressed.
