Indiana 2011

Can I have a link to any results that are up? Nothing on the WCA website yet. :P

EDIT. Nevermind. Found them. :fp

EDIT2 : iEnjoyCubing, I know I could've asked, but I just accidentally found your WCA profile. >.>

This competition was so fun! Every single goal I set for myself I completely obliterated. The most surprising one was my 4x4 single. My "at home" personal best time was only 1:16, and I got a 1:18 on my second solve!
 
My 3x3 first solve in the first round is actually 12.63, not 12.66.
My last solve in 2x2 second round is 15.46, not 15.48 (like it matters)

DYK:
-Anthony sat in my seat for most of the competition?
-Some person broke my master magic, so I had to rush to string it back together?
-Staring at the celing while solving is a bad idea?
-John doesn't like sushi?
-I pwned John at Magic?
-1.69?
-John sucks at throwing?
-Cube towers fail?
-Wasabi makes you faster?

That's all I can think of for now.

Will check and let you know.

I checked the scoresheets, and your 3x3x3 first solve in the first round is clearly recorded as 12.66, not 12.63. And your last solve in the 2x2x2 second round is clearly recorded as 15.48, not 15.46. I also noticed that you have the habit of initialing the first solve and then drawing an arrow down through the others (which is what you did on both of these sheets). Next time, please consider initialing after each solve, and checking the times before you do so, so you can correct any mistakes. Situations like this is what that is for. I have often noticed mistakes and had them corrected before initialing when I was competing.

Note too that video evidence is specifically disallowed by the rules to change a time. So I'm afraid there's nothing that can be done. I'm glad they're relatively minor errors.

(I would also like to point out that neither of these times were entered by my "kid judges" - both were written by quite experienced cubers. In a long day of cubing like this was, it's easy for anyone to make a simple mistake entering numbers.)
 
There is mine:

There's this, but it's really only worth the novelty of having it on video because it's from decently far away.
