Please don't feel like you're obligated to post the footage. As enjoyable as sub-6 solves are to watch (even with +2s), I don't think anyone would hold it against you too much if you decided against uploading it. It's up to you.

well thank you very much! I haven't had many people say to me that you don't have to upload it if you don't want to, they've all said they want to see it like they're impatient

Well to be fair, your solve is likely the fastest ever official solve with a penalty :p

I can't even imagine how you must feel though. Despite doing amazingly in so many other events at the comp, you also got to experience probably one of the worst things that could ever happen in cubing. Try to brush it off as best you can, it's one of those things where a second chance can't really be expected :s

Whether you upload it or not doesn't matter. Knowing me, I would just feel really bad watching it even though I'm interested in the specifics of the solve. That aside, great job on everything else, because honestly you still kicked ass overall. You got your first ER (Making you the first Irish cuber to get an ER which I'm sure is huge for you guys), a very good 4x4 average/single, and a better 3x3 average than me :p

I was judging someone else doing 3x3 at the time, so I didn't see it properly happen, although I've seen that it was a +2 on the D layer, which makes it even worse.

I heard him shout in happiness, but then literally fell back off the bench onto the ground when he realised what had happened.
 
This was an amazing competition. Loads of NRs were broken and lots of new Irish cubers got to log official times. Hopefully this is the start of more competitions in Ireland. Congrats to Ciaran on his ER 6x6 Mo3 and Ollies WR 4bld.

Goals

2x2: Sub 3 average maybe? Would need a bit of luck. No. Ciaran even beat me lol.
3x3: Sub 10 average, sub 8 single Yes! :D
4x4 Sub 50 average Yes. By a pretty big margin as well. Also got my overall PB of 37.02 in the semis.
5x5: lol No. Started caring about my times halfway through :p
3BLD: sub 1 maybe? I don't want to put too much pressure on myself for this one, or else I'll get too nervous. Yes. NR is nice as well. Just missed out on top 100 though... Also got a 33 off by a 3-cycle :(
OH: Sub 15 single? Yes. 0.03 off NR though :( (NR is 13.38)
FMC: Sub 40, I guess 45. Bleh I need to learn FMC techniques.
Square 1: Don't mess up parity alg No. Messed it up on my first solve. Got it right on my second though.
skewb: Umm I don't even know what I average at home or what my PB is. Got a 6.63, which I'm pretty sure is PB.
MBLD: 3/3 (Current home pb is 2/2 lol) No. Attempted 2. First one was off by two flipped edges which I memoed using visual. *facepalm*
4BLD: get my second success ever :P (I should really do some attempts at home this week) 3xDNF :/ I think this might give me the motivation to practice it though.
Other: Have fun and don't get lost. Yes. Especially proud of this one :D Huge thanks to Greg (Lucidcuber) for helping me out :)

Not too bad really. I think I'm happy :)
 
Got home not long ago (flight delayed)

As well as congratulating Ciarán on the personal achievements, I'd also like to thank you for organising what was honestly my favourite competition ever.

DYK's tomorrow.

Goals: Beat Adam at 5x5, although 1:48 is setting the bar high for an official average.

Otherwise standard goal of 3 PBs which I still think is achievable.

Got both goals, and ended up with 6 PBs overall 5/6/7/pyra average and 6/7 single

DYK:


-Hilarious plane driver slammed the brakes on during taxiing because someone refused to put their seatbelt on.
-We hired a very small car, suitable for two people, then ended up giving another 3 people a lift
-that ended up like the clowns in a mini trick.
-Me and adam both ended up accidently wandering into the ladies toilets at the airport
-Ciarán's mum was basically a full time taxi driver
-Ollie fulfilled his duty as a tourist in Ireland by drinking Guinness
-I ordered a total of 5 soups over the weekend.
-6x6 Team Blind UWR
-I fail at snooker
-My entire diet over the weekend basically consisted of SupaValu potato cubes and soup.
-I failed Square 1 again, but made my WCA profile slightly more complete with 7x7 mean
-This was my favourite competition in 9 years of cubing.
-Ciarán must have aged a few years this weekend due to stress.

I managed to beat Tao in 2x2
