[Competition Cuber]

Will Callan got a 1.39 2x2 NaR, and also the first counting sub-1. I was there, it was crazy!

 

[JustAnotherGenericCuber]

Max got 3 sub 20s on 4x4 today in 10 solves

Jay and Martin both nemisize over 100,000 people!

Jay and Martin both nemisize over 100,000 people!

Wow. For me the most amazing part of that is that there are over 100,000 cubers that have competed and thus can be nemesized! It's astounding how far cubing has come.

 

[Gomorrite]

The top 3 in Kinchranks is competing this weekend, although the most likely outcome is Stanley Chapel getting further away in the lead.

Wow. For me the most amazing part of that is that there are over 100,000 cubers that have competed and thus can be nemesized! It's astounding how far cubing has come.

That is nothing, I already calculated that by 2052 the whole population of the Earth will have a WCA profile.

CubingUSA Western Championship 2018

Daniel Lin? He has multiple 17.xx 3BLD ao5s, but he competes very rarely. I'd be surprised if he didn't get at least one sub-20 this weekend

 

[Loser]

Megaminx at New Hope Spring 2018 will likely be wr podium with Patrick, Nicolas, Aj Kamal, and Alexei Sinyavin.
Edit: Drl (sor3) is also competing at Quizzical Quabbin Qualifier this weekend. He has 2-7, bld, oh, pyra, skewb, squan, mega.
Another edit: Brandon Lin has squan at Western Champs

Drl (sor3)

"Daniel Rose Levine, Sum of Ranks". But not that easy to guess by everyone if you don't really write it.

 

[Gomorrite]

Martin Vædele Egdal got a 1:53.67 average in 6x6, meaning he will improve his rank from 96 to 44, distancing himself quite a bit from Jayden McNeill in Sum of Average Ranks.

 

[weatherman223]

Tommy hasn’t had exciting feet averages today, but Kevin Min set AsR for Feet single. Congrats!

 

[Gomorrite]

Max Park improved this 3x3 Avg12 UWR from 5.28 to 5.22.

22 comps this weekend! 11 are one day, 9 are 2 day, and 2 are 3 days. This is everyone who is competing in an event they are top 10 in the world in for average (either single or average for blind events). I also added in a few ppl who weren't top 10 but were noteworthy. Anyone else who you think should be included just reply in this thread and If I agree I'll add them. 2 comps didn't have pysch sheets but I knew one person, any help on those would be great as well.

Peru Nationals 2018
Juan Pablo Huanqui (second in the world) has megaminx, and will also be attempting the 24 hour megaminx Guinness World Record as well. Gianfranco Huanqui (3rd for 3bld and 10th for multi) has both of those. Pedro Alejandro Condo Tellez (7th in the world) has 7x7.

Svetlye Gory Open 2018
Alexey Zharikov (8th in the world) has 7x7. Artyom Martirosov (9th in the world) has 3bld. Dmitry Gundin (6th in the world) has clock. Roman Strakhov (3rd in the world for 4bld and 5bld) has both of those. Grigorii Alekseev (5th in the world) has 5bld.

LLS VI 2018
Tymon Kolasinski (wr holder) has pyra. This comp isn't on wca and doesn't have a pysch sheet so I'm not sure about anyone else. If anyone knows of other ppl and they could tell me that would be nice.

Brisbane Winter 2018
Jack Cai (7th in the world for single and average) has 3bld. Tomoya Firman (9th in the world) has 4bld. And some guy named Feliks has 3, 4, 5, and oh.

DFW Cubing Fiesta June 2018
Jeff Park (wr single holder and 3rd for average) has 3bld. Timothy Goh (10th in the world) has 4bld. Dylan Miller has 3x3 and is 11th in the world.

Please Be Quiet Beijing 2018
Kaijun Lin (4th for 3bld single, 5th for average, 2nd for 4bld, and 1st for 5bld) has all 3. Baiqiang Dong (4th in the world) has fmc. Yucheng Chen (5th in the world) has multi blind.

Maryland 2018
Yi-Fan Wu (8th for 4x4 and 10th for 5x5) has both of those. Justin Mallari (7th in the world) and Pavan Ravindra (8th in the world) both have oh. Tommy Szeliga (10th in the world) has squan. Rowe Hessler and Eva Kato are 11th and 14th in the world and also have it. Ryan Deline (6th in the world) has fmc. Neel Gore (7th in the world) has 4bld.

Vantaa Open 2018
Amos Nordman (4th in the world) has megaminx.

Peterborough Open 2018
Ciarán Beahan (7th for 5x5 and 5th for 6x6) has 5-7.

Maru X 2018
Kai Wen Wang (6th for 3x3 and 10th for oh) has both. This is another comp without a pysch sheet, so any help on this would be great.

 

[Gomorrite]

Nice PB improvements by Max Park in OH:

Avg 50 from 10.03 to 9.8
Avg 100 from 10.36 to 9.95

Even though his unofficial times are still very far from Kian Mansour's, he is clearly a better competitor, so I think he could still get the WR back one day.

 

[Loser]

And he's max park and could average 8.5 in a month

 

[Loser]

Kian got an 8.86 ao100 on one handed how tf.
I might be late on this but max got a 6.03 ao10000 as well

 

[Dancing Jules]

6.03 ao10000

Oh wow. global sub6 just around the corner.

 

[MattP98]

2 comps didn't have pysch sheets but I knew one person, any help on those would be great as well.

Michał Krasowski is competing in Skewb at LLS VI (10th in the world) and Rafał Waryszak is competing in Pyra at the same comp (6th in the world). Unfortunately both are from Poland and so are unlikely to break any records.

Kai-Wen Wang is by far the most notable competitor at Maru X. Kuo-Hau Wu (~30th in the world for 6x6 and 7x7) is competing in both, and so is Ping-Yueh Huang in 5x5 (21st in the world) but that's about it.

 

[Gomorrite]

Oh wow. global sub6 just around the corner.

Considering an avg10000 includes solves from several months ago, I think it is quite safe to say he is sub-6 already for a while. He is probably not yet sub-6 with stackmat timer though.

On the other hand, I find this global sub-x concept quite vague and meaningless. Anything above avg100 doesn't seem like a good metric of speed to me.

 

[Loser]

So far this weekend:
Svetlye Gory Open 2018
Alexey Zharikov got a 1:40.55 6x6 mean, putting him 10th in the world.
Peru Nationals 2018
Gianfranco Huanqui got a 3:13 and a 3:19 success in 4bld, and dnfed the other attempt, so nothing noteworthy.
