Fort Lee Winter 2009 (NJ)

Another great competition. It seemed like it was going to get into a time crunch, but with expert handling from Kegham, Tyson(SIT DOWN), Bob, Jacky, Tim, etc. it went off like clockwork. I sucked at everything, but got a 6x6 that counted. And Connor got sub-3 at Magic.

P.S. Oh yeah, and congrats to Dan, David, Patrick, and Rowe.

Despite my noob-like times, this was a good competition for me. I got my best ever competition averages in 2x2x2 and Square-1, my best competition BLD time (my 2nd success), and my two fastest competition 5x5x5 times. (I barely got a then PB in 5x5x5 the week before.) I also had good (for me) 4x4x4 times.

TPAM lent me his spare "springy" Eastsheen 2x2x2. Thanks Bill. I really liked that cube. Thanks also to skipped steps on my first three solves. I dropped my 2x2x2 average from 15.00 to 10.20.

I'll also note that at Twin Cities last weekend, I got my best ever competition 3x3x3 average, 45.00. So for a week my best competition averages in the database for 3x3x3 and 2x2x2 were nice round numbers in an exact 3:1 ratio: 45.00 for 3x3x3 and 15.00 for 2x2x2.

prizes were little flashlights, little alarm clocks, some play balls, just some random objects.

SQUISHYBALL!

I am playing with mine right now

BTW, during clean up, I found a core laying on a table and something that I think might belong to Shoot1510. PM me.

Congrats Dan on the 1:10 BLD. And nice NAR on the 4x4, Patrick.

LOL. I found a video of Tyson Mao yelling at everyone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrirGP77ujk

I didn't post that video on YouTube. Tyson was angrier I thought.

That was quite a moment.

Just to make my comment clear, I think it was exactly what was wanted and needed. As a judge and competitor I was getting frustrated and Tyson had asked 3 times if I remember right.

By the way, the video has been removed in response to Tyson's wishes.

I'd like to see Tyson make a tutorial video. "Hi! I'm Tyson Mao, this is how you sit down in a chair. Have the chair behind you, and bend at the knees and hips until you are seated in the chair. As you can see, sitting down isn't that hard." Much like his other tutorials where he has a nice calm voice explaining it.
