Detroit Competition

[Dave Campbell]

I'm leaving for the tournament now. First stop is Columbus to grab Jim, then on we go!

Holy geez, you are leaving early. I won't roll into Detroit until after 10PM tonight. It will be around the time you guys are getting back from the airport with Bob. Let's meet up tonight briefly at the hotel if we can to touch base about tomorrow morning.

I suppose i am talking to Jim and/or Bob if Shaden as left already.

Dave, you noob! You beat me at 4x4x4!

Official WCA results are posted.

I blame Bob and Dan for the Canada sweep. Bob for not winning magic, and Dan for being cheap and not traveling there.

Canada is awesome! I should go to Toronto randomly.

I did badly in 3x3x3, but twas still a fun competition ^^
Scrambling for 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 was more fun than I thought twould be.

 

[JustinJ]

Yeah, was lots of fun, even though I did terrible in 2x2 I did great in 4x4, and OK in 3x3. I'm happy I came second in Magic (to Señor French), and Bob's 4.9x OH solve was pretty funny too.

Was really fun

Great job organizing Kit.

If "randomly" means when we have have a competition, then i agree.

Highlight of the competition for me: Jon Morris. He is one of my cubing idols, from back in the 2005 days. I got to know him at WC2005, so it was so cool to see him again. One of the nicest guys in cubing. And that says a lot, as there are a lot of nice guys.

5 things I learned at the Motor City Open:

1) Scrambling can be fun, as long as there are no/few Mefferts 5x5x5, Rubik's 5x5x5 with tiles, REALLY loose Eastsheens that feel like they will fall apart, and cubes with colour schemes like the one Doug Li uses.

2) I really suck at calling in Team BLD when we're sitting across from each other at a table

3) Getting sub-30 mins of sleep the night/morning before a competition is BAD.

4) There are green Exit signs in the U.S.

5) Pop tarts still exist




EDIT:
6) Pillows can be used as umbrella hats during thunderstorms
7) Kit is the nicest guy in the whole world [/sarcasm]

I swear, I know I did that fifth scramble on Jon's cube. >.<

Yeah, it's too bad you couldn't get sub-20.

4) There are green Exit signs in the U.S.

There are blue exit signs in Canada.

Y'know, I got really happy when I read that up until the sarcasm part. xP But seriously, I'm the nicest person in the world!

Thanks to everyone who competed and volunteered, I had a great time at the competition yesterday. A big thanks to Dave, Simone, and CanadianCUBING for doing so much of the work for this competition, you shoudn't only be thanking me for this. Hopefully I can host a Detroit competition sometime in the future (less events next time), I think Detroit is a great common ground for cubers all over this area, and would love to see you here again.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
