Eindhoven Open 2012

[Kattenvriendin]

Cool! It'll be fun.

Total reminder to all that I am hard of hearing/deaf. One might not notice but when I respond saying something stupid I likely didn't hear things right *laughs*

At most competitions there is no podium at all...
Do you have a podium for me?

Not literaly a physical podium, although the regulation also applies to certificates.

6b) Competitors should attend the winner's ceremony to be eligible for awards/prizes/honours.

But as it says 'should' and not 'must', I am free to ignore it. I already made you a certificate for Fewest Moves.

I see in your signature that you have improved great the last few weeks. How do you do today? Any records broken?

 

[arcio1]

Is Mats' ER on video?

 

[kbh]

Yes

 

[jla]

Yes

Where?

 

[hcfong]

Have some patience, please. The competition has only finished an hour and 15 minutes ago

 

[Kattenvriendin]

NOOB alert whahaha!!

MarcelP: two sub-1s!

Best time was 51.66 which for an event where I was nervous as heck wasn't bad AT ALL.

And -I- couldn't solve that thing in 4 moves lolol! mind went totally blank and I opted the DNF after fudging for over 3 minutes there.

The last one was fun.. or was that the 51secs one.. in any case.. there were two of the cross filled in already, blue and red. I picked it up, saw it, and then said to myself.. ohhh boy.. do NOT f this one up. I think the judge must have heard me say that one out loud whahahaha.

I am going to be there in The Hague (or close to the city anyway) pretty sure. I need to look at the dates still but it was FUNNNN!! Thanks Endgame and crazycubemom for being so wonderful to me, and thanks to Hwee-Chong for making me laugh with his drawings of things that should be numbers

To the others that I cannot remember, thanks as well.

At least I know now that a v-cube is not for me and I have a really loose cube *snickers*

 

[MarcelP]

No, that is reeeeeally close to your PB. Awesome!!

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Indeed! I even high fived people after that one hahah!! :tu

 

[Reinier Schippers]

Was a very nice competition. Thanks for organising HC!

Some DYK:
-Mats really likes gangnamstyle
-Safari makes you sub 8
-Mats cube explosion in the final was so violent that a piece nearly flew to me.
-Not practising 4x4 makes you faster.
-The pyraminx scrambles in the finals were very easy
-The gap between number 1 and 2 at 3x3, 4x4 and OH was very big, Mats refers to Total Domination
-The entire podium with FMC was sub 30
-People at the Cafetaria do not ask for ID
-The waiting room for the 3x3 finals was a kitchen (with a lot of oppurtinities)

 

[Crazycubemom]

Congrats Kattenvriendin for your first competition with WOW great results ( 2 times sub 1 minute) and Nice to meet you hope to see you again.

Endgame is my new rival after Oliver Polspoel )

Ton is very happy with his new avg @ 4x4x4 and as one of Finalist @ 3x3x3


Thank you Hong Fong! ooops I got my second sub 20 : 18.43 sec Non Lucky the rest pops and was not in the mood.

 

[hcfong]

Okay, I guess I should mention some DYKs as well.
So... did you know

- this was Arnaud's 100th competition?
- I have probably used up 200+ sheets of A4 paper and 2 inkcartridges for this competition?
- Cubecomps is so nice to work with?
- some peoples' handwritings are horrible to read?
- that for that reason, I now have an enormous respect for people who usually enter the scores?
- I completely missed Mats' cube explosion? I was dozing off and the next thing I knew, the timer had gone past 1 minute with Mats sitting behind it.
- I want to thank Ron for trusting me in organising a competition?
- And Geert, Ton and Hanneke for helping out with entering scores?
- And everybody else for being there, especially the new people?
