I agree with everyone so far, it was an awesome competition! i broke most of my personal records: 2.69 2x2 solve, 24.62 OH solve (30.39 avg) and 18.44 3x3 avg.
I'm just kinda ****ed that i missed qualification for 3x3 and OH for nationals :(. maybe ill go next year...

Oh, and at magic: if i get one that works maybe ill practise a bit ;). and my master magic is too loose to practise with so i really cant even do that until i get more strings. So dan might be right, those records could be there for a while...

And Dan: 2 5x5 rounds IS lame :p.

Congrats Jason for the NAR sub 12!!! Gah, I'm so pumped right now but i can't practice as I have to study for my exams :O And Dan for the WR 4x4! and Mitchell for the NR single! (I heard his avg would've been 11.74 without that plus 2).

I looked at Harris Chan's WCA profile right now, and I find it funny that his 4x/5x single/avg are the same rankings, haha.

Harris, you didn't go to the comp in Canada today ?

I don't think so - I think it's great! I wish I could have been there if for no other reason than the 2 5x5x5 rounds. The only thing that would be better than that would be 2 rounds of big cubes BLD. Maybe I'll organize a competition someday so I can do that. :)

Oh, and amazing results everyone! Awesome 4x4x4, Dan - I hope you can match it with 5x5x5 tomorrow! And I'm so glad Jason finally got a good 3x3x3 round!

Nah, I didn't go to Vancouver, that's like all the way on the West side of Canada, which is like traveling from NY to California or something lol. Plus, it's exam time, i have a few tests/exams next week.

Yeah, first round was way better than the final.

I, for one, got super-2 averages. :(

Although, Patrick Jameson beat me by .11 or so in the first round, and I beat him by .04 in the final. XD

Pretty lame, imo.

@ExoCorsair I hate you. lol jk. That was insane how close we were.

I dont know what you guys are talking about, I did great for me in 5x5. I got a 1:46.xx single which beat my previous record by 6 seconds! I did much better today than yesterday.

Yeah, Dan is WR-capable and didn't get it, while I used to average low/sub-1:50. :p

Congrats on the new PB; didn't know it was a best. :)

Man, I need to compete on 5x5. When you're 40sec below your best competition average, it's pretty lame that people are too slow to have it as an event at any competition you go to.
