Indiana 2014

DYK...

Ryan Deline has lost weight?
By which I mean he trimmed his beard?
4th 2x2 scramble was R' U R' fruruf?
So naturally I locked up and +2'd?
How does Lucase do so well?
Seriously 7.52?
He's very sixy?
Six times as sixy as I am?
People thought Kennan and I would destroy skewb NR?
We didn't.
Kit was very apologetic about beating us?
I failed the last pyra solve really bad?
Tied WR is less lame than no WR?
But still kinda lame?
Only one person found the solution to my 1.78?
GJ Josh?
I'm slow at 3x3?
But I still went from tied with Antoine to tied with GJay?
After every solve Lucas tells you that you should have used a different alg?
Some guy I had never heard of got first overall?
But he wasn't there at the end so I got honorary first overall?
That's fine by me?
After every solve the judge asks you if you +2'd?
Kevin got a 29.xx 4x4 solve?
And no one even noticed?
Chris did not make finals?
So right after semis Mike asked on the mic for him to scramble for finals?
lol?
Andrew Ricci thinks random 3 cycles are cooler than the checkerboard pattern?
He's wrong?
And he's good at blind as well?
I spent like 10-15 minutes on FMC?
And still podiumed?
Lefty Sune PLL skip helps?
It's really hard to remember to scramble pyraminx in the right orientation?
And I wish Shengshous had a fixed color scheme?
Scrambling skewb was a wrist strength exercise?
And the good news is that now my wrists are ripped?
Andy Denney lives really close to me now?
yay?
GJrew doesn't really work?
Neither does GJlucas?
Prisma coleslaw?

Just wondering: what's the reason that there were only 31 of 120 competitors in the second round of 3x3?
Time? :)

If you're asking about why there were 31 instead of 32 competitors, it's probably because Mike said that there were only going to be two rounds of 3x3, so everyone was expecting the second round to only have 16 or 8 people in it, so some people probably left after doing their solves and looking at the rankings on Cubecomps, thinking that they weren't going to get into the second round.

If you're asking about why there were 32 competitors instead of 16, it was because Mike eventually decided that because we were ahead of schedule, we would have 3 or maybe 4 rounds of 3x3, so he increased the competitor number to 32. Then, the next rounds were 12 and 4 competitors.

If you're asking about why there were 32 competitors instead of more (31 of 120), it would be impossible to have 64 3x3ers in one round after having 120 in the first round. The cutoff for 64 people would be a 26.91 average. That's just not realistic, considering the time. So you're right, I guess.

Yes, sorry for the short and ambiguous question.

I was surprised that there were only 4 competitors in the final and there were 4 rounds, so I took a look at the previous rounds. Since 3x3 is the main event for many competitors they are often disappointed when there are comparatively few proceeding to the next round and 1/4 proceeding to the second round is quite a few.
It was not meant as criticism or complaint, I was just curious. ;-)
 
We had 18(!) active stations, and 32 was a comfortable number that allowed us to have all solve simultaneously. One was a no show.

Mike really wanted a 4th round, and the fact that we had only 4 competitors may have been partially influenced by the video Noah and I wanted to make. :)

We were also pretty close to overstaying our welcome in the library, but I guess 2 or 4 more competitors wouldn't have made that big a difference.
 
Overall, I thought the competition was good, but I wasn't too happy that it ended an hour after the schedule said it would. I had been planning to stay for awards, but because of that I couldn't because I had something else that night, so I never got to see if I ended up in the top 30 or not.
