Euro 2010

Hi all,

The results are online now. I am aware that there are still some errors (like some positions) but I will correct them tomorrow when I have a decent internet connection.
If you see problems in your own results then please send me an e-mail.

Have fun,

Ron

Hi all,

Sorry about the winners ceremony. That was one thing I could not control. I was promised that everything would be OK. Actually I was upstairs working on the results, so I missed the chaos.
The feedback I received about the ceremony was:
- Some certificates and trophies were missing. If you did not receive a trophy or a certificate, then please contact me.
- The ceremony was rushed, so there was no time to celebrate each winner.
- The order of the events was a mess, so it was hard to find the right winners and trophies, and to the audience it was not clear for which event the honours were awarded.
Sorry this happened. I will not accept someone else to take control next time.

Regarding Rafal: I was very sorry for him. He could have had 2nd place. But I think it was a correct decision to not accept his time, because his judge stopped his timer.

Any other feedback on Euro 2010? We are always looking for improvement.

Thanks to all the people who helped with the organisation. Especially Olivér Perge who worked like hell, but also the people who helped with scrambling and judging.

Have fun,

Ron

Back home again;-(
Missed the 3x3x3 and blindfold finals to catch my plane.

Poor dutchies Erik & Mats, all those 2nd places, but still a great result!
More workouts next time Erik?
Did some FMC on my way home: 30 moves for Euro2010 scramble in (another) 20 minutes! Why!
And a fine sub-30 for weekly fmc-comp......
Had a great time with that chess-clock Teemu!
Gus
 
I found a timer in my bag at the airport (I think it may belong to Kai), so if anyone is missing a timer, please contact me and I'll do my best to get it back to you.
Sorry!
 
Erik looks puzzled.
"How did a random Russian beat me?"
:p


I think he's more puzzled at the age demographic
"Did I just place 2nd in a Sport Stacking competition?"

Seriously though, how'd this happen? Tomasz didn't place, nor did Breandan, Kaneti, or Mats? 10.31 second avg when a year ago he was 22 second avg. From what I hear though the kid's cross on left so that's a plus.
 
Extremely tired and about to finally fall asleep but a few things to say (more will come later):

Thanks to everyone that organised, especially to Olivér who is really amazing at what he does considering he hasn't been doing it that long! Everything ran very smoothly and the organisation was fantastic.

It did not feel like a big competition, which was both good for results but bad because the atmosphere was lacking a bit.

The winning ceremony was very peculiar indeed, especially the random discussion at the end from a Hungarian man about cubers having a lot of pride and there being no doping in the speed cubing community. This is apparently a reason to respect cubers. We have doping tests.... right?

The guy speaking with the microphone and the facts is useful but talks a bit... too... much. Quite a few people said that this was putting them off when on the stage.

I am pleased for the Russian kid that won, but extremely gutted for Erik who has a habit of coming second for things when he is really awesome and deserves a #1 at a big competition. I am so happy Cornelius aka mini Charlie has 3rd place - you are the absolute cutest!

Mats is nice, he gave me one of the cubes he won <3

Hungarian meats are sometimes a bit weird.

Hungarian cake is often laced with alcohol without any warning.

THANK GOD IT'S GOT A HANDLE.

Sleep now.
