Dixon Fall 2016 (Competition)

[JustinTimeCuber]

why are there so many trolls in my pickem thing :3

there's only 3 serious responses, and one of those was only half serious - they put Kit Clement, Kennan Lejeune, and Jayden Mcneill for 3x3 1st, 2nd, and honorable mention, none of whom are actually going, and me for 3rd, even though that isn't happening

and now someone thinks I will get 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and honorable mention in 3x3 (which of course will happen) and nothing for anything else

Can't tell if there are lots of trolls or one person responding lots of times

 

[gateway cuber]

I put a serious response...

I know you did, and I also responded (just so there's a chance I don't have to give someone a gift card :3) but right now it looks like we're the only 2 people xD

also peeps here's the link to the Pick'em again

Pick'ems is not my original idea in case anyone didn't know that - it was Corey Sakowski's idea

That $10 gift card made me actually try... If I win I'll have $15 combined in giftcards, so maybe I can finally get a squan or valk. Or maybe trade it for a clock at Lawrence. We'll see!

OOoooo I'm going to do a serious response. Even though I'm not going...

 

[biscuit]

So I totally screwed up my 5x5 picks. If ire pick later today, would you edit my entry for me?

 

[aybuck37]

Wait Justin did you make it?

Sure. You can edit your entry at any time, just make sure to let me know and I won't count the first one and only the second one.

Wait Justin did you make it?

the Pick'em? Yee.

Are you saying re-submit everything? I didn't write down my picks, and I'd have to go through everything again (took me a while, Wasn't just picking off the top of my head)

I'd prioritize your second input, i.e. if you put Feliks Zemdegs for 1st place, Barack Obama for 2nd place, and no one for 3rd place, and then the next time put no one for 1st place, Neil Armstrong for 2nd place, and My Pet Cat for 3rd place, then your final answer would be Feliks Zemdegs for 1st place, Neil Armstrong for 2nd place, and My Pet Cat for 3rd place.

Hahaha HYPE!! Did you see my 3x3 comment on my pick'em

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

Hahaha HYPE!! Did you see my 3x3 comment on my pick'em

lel yeah I did, but I think you believe in me way more than I do... if you put honorable mention for me that would be a lot more achievable, but 2nd will be hard unless I get a sub-10 avg.

well anyway I'm here in Dixon. Is anyone else staying at the Magnuson Hotel? Just wondering :33333

So... good luck everyone! I'm wearing a black hoodie (and if I decide to take that off I'll be wearing a US Nats 2016 shirt) and I'll probably find a seat that's not in the middle of the crowd :3

Hey! How did it go

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

Hey! How did it go

I'm in the finals waiting room ATM :3
There was a 6 move scramble in the 2x2 finals, but I didn't see it and was 4th place lol
I have this amazing ability to place 4th

3x3: sub 11 avg 10.95, 10.98, maybe comp PR if I'm lucky, mid 9 single 9.56, top 5 is good 4th
2x2: sub 3 avg 2.85 (MO SR), podium should have, WR single lol
OH: sub 30 avg 28.xx, sub 27 single 23.xx
BLD: success??? lol
6x6: sub 4 single, make cutoff if they raise it to 4 minutes :3 4:11.xx so no
Mega: Sub 2:15 single would be nice, probably won't make the cut lolwut I made the cut hey that rhymes
few other observations:
1. Carter can't a Rubik's cube in competition (what happened???)
2. There was a 6 move 2x2 solution in the finals, which obviously I didn't see
3. Waiting in the kitchen for finals was kinda intense... I felt like I was one of the slower people there but ended up 4th, so not bad
4. 5x5 team factory solves are fun Jared
5. Megaminx is a weird event
6. The solving area was significantly colder than the audience area
7. I like head-to-head 3x3 finals
8. They should have done head-to-head 2x2 finals, because then I would have been third probably idk
9. Comp venues should really have WiFi
10. Don't go like 10 miles out of the way to get dinner at a Panera
11. The STL skyline looks cool from across the Mississippi River you guys should be jealous
12. I am not able to get 8s in comp for some reason

And also...

Blake Thompson has around a 30% chance of beating me

Lol.

Lol right back at you Blake


e: one other thing- being in the back room with the other finalists made me feel like I'm in the fazt kidz klub lol

Carter can't a Rubik's cube in competition (what happened???)

Migraine + pressure + DNFing a 12 = bad average in 3x3
Bad CLLs + Overconfidence + nosey Judges + Accidental EG-2 face + a plus 2 = the true cringiest 2x2 average you will ever see.

But despite this I had a blast, + we got to go to Giordano's that night for my B-Day and a got a bunch of free cubes (via cheap trades and stuff)

nosey judges???

 

[gateway cuber]

nosey judges???

yes! this dude was like what do you average at home? what do you average at comp? the last kid got an LL skip on this scramble. Another guy got a 2.something on this scramble are you under pressure is this your first official solve? are you ready? are you ready? are you ready? are you ready? GO! this happened twice.. So what are the results for the pick'em

 

[aybuck37]

we got to go to Giordano's that night for my B-Day )

Happy birthday!

Goals:
3x3: sub-14 avg, sub-13 single, make second round (not sure how many they're advancing though, so that could change)
OH: sub-30 avg, sub-27 single
2x2: Don't suck.

R.I.P. sub-14 avg... I didn't even get sub-15. But then I went home and got 13.34 avg of 50 and this, so I don't know what to think. XP Still made second round no problem.
I did get a nice OH avg (29.42) and a couple sub-27 singles though, and 2x2 didn't suck.
