Euro 2012 - Poland

Yes but... I think it's not fair to the 128th european competitor, who can't participate to the second round of the European Championship because of non-european people.


And I don't say that because I was #131

I prefer to turn this around. Everyone from all countries was allowed to compete. It was a gift to the 13th competitors in the finals who should be happy that they did not make it in top 12 and still they could compete!

Yes, and it's sooooooo unfair to me that they took the top 128 and not the top 201

Seriously, the organisers have to cut somewhere, and there will always be a first eliminated.

What ?
What if 12 non-european cubers are better than the best european ? The European Champion is not even in the final ?

If there would have been 12 non-Europeans with chances for a final, we would have taken measures regarding the number of finalists.
Wake up man! You are missing the mission and spirit of WCA.

Great competition, thanks to the organisation! It was great to meet everyone again and making silly jokes all day and now I'm looking forward to Worlds next year (if I can manage to go) even more.
Didn't really do anything great result-wise. Only PB was 31 in FMC which actually almost got me a podium place.
Pretty disappointed with 4th place at 3x3 but I guess I could have done worse At least now I can pride myself having the fastest (9.37) non-podium average of all time (although I did have a 9.30 3rd place once ).

Did you know....
Corny apparently shouted "Don't speak Polish!" to someone working in the pub?

Not exactly I was fooling around with Rowe cuz I took his coaster and he was like "Dude don't take my coaster!!! " so I took it for fun and he tried to to get it back and accidentally knocked my bear glass out of my hand which made it fall down and break.
A waitress came and talked to me in Polish really fast which of course I didn't understand at all so I said " don't speak Polish..." but I guess I must've mumbled and didn't really say the "I".
I only realised that it must have come across incredibly rude a few minutes later xD (so I apologised but she wasn't mad)

I found out that it is possible for one person (Breandan) to eat 20 McNuggets and french fries and a large coke?

I think Rob Yau ate like 30 on Sunday night.

He did, but he didn't have anything else. It's still probably more impressive than Breandan's feat

I still rank Maarten's 7 hamburgers highest!

I just found 2 white Shengshou 4x4s in my bag and as I only own one, the second one must be someone else's. If you're missing one, please let me know.

I'm missing my OH cube, for what it's worth. It's a black mini A-V (I think).
