Captains Cove 2011

[masterofthebass]

Well that went pretty well.

7.59 3x3 single
9.69 3x3 avg (7, 10, 10, 12, 8 <_<)
1:11 5x5 avg

4x4 avg still eludes me though :/

O and thanks to Peter for ruining an almost good magic avg

Did you know:

Dan is too cool to react to sub 8 singles.

If John Tamanas gets world record, we all jump into the bay.

Bob Burton will throw unsolved cubes into the water.

Dan "accidentally" hit Jeffrey while "stretching his arms". I'm on to you.


Thanks to Peter for organizing and Bob for delegating. Awesome competition!

He shouldn't be walking right up next to me when I'm stretching!

Also, let it be known that some people should have put on some sun screen. Outdoor competitions always leave a few victims.

You shouldn't be stretching when he's walking right up next to you!

I also hit Bob in the face.

Ah, no loss really.

 

[Kian]

Ah, no loss really.

In all fairness, he was out of line.

No idea where you get this idea from.

Well, congrats to everyone, and I wish I could have been there. How is John's comp. looking?

 

[nlCuber22]

Ah, no loss really.

How'd you do?

 

[Andrew Ricci]

How'd you do?

Assorted high 10 singles and an 11.6x average in the first round. Second and third rounds weren't great, but that's not too big of a deal.

It's a no go until December

Nice, nice. I really wish I could have gone.

Oh, well. Next NE comp, okay?

Excellent story at Kian's expense:

On the fourth solve in the semifinal, Kian was solving, and because it was a bit windy, the scorecard blew off the table onto Kian's cube. He got a 16.xx on the solve. But this was pretty clearly an unfair distraction, so in accordance with the WCA regulations, we gave him a replacement solve. On the replacement, he got a 20.xx. Now, since Kian had already gotten a 23.xx, the 20 counted. So, because he did the replacement solve, Kian's average was more than a second worse. He missed the finals by about .3 seconds.
