Liberty Science Center Open 2012

[RyanReese09]

That awkward moment I don't practice for a year and I smash my single PB by .5+ and average by a bit.

I should have probably done a few blind practice solves. They were all extremely awkward.


Had 1:40 DNF because I switched up two sentences (I had AB CD and I executed as AD CB. Switched the ends).

14.11 3x3 avg, comp PB by .05 -_-
Two BLD successes in a row
Comp PB(and possible overall PB) OH avg, but I dunno exactly what it was, maybe 24 or 25 or something.

Fun comp, but I was frustrated with the judging. I had 4 judges that messed up (either not saying 8 and 12, or writing down a normal solve, and me having to point out that it was a +2, etc).
Also, I scrambled 4x4 and 3BLD, and we had ~3 judges the whole time.

 

[Ollie]

Any live results?

 

[Noahaha]

I was due for a bad BLD comp, but I had a sub-30 OH average nevertheless. I think OH will become my new main non-BLD event that I practice (as opposed to 4x4/5x5).

3BLD was during lunch, so you shouldn't expect many people to be there to judge.

What happened?

 

[Noahaha]

What happened?

3BLD: DNF, DNF, 46.11

4BLD:
DNF(5:11) off by two centers and a twisted corner.
DNF(5:xy) off by two centers and wings
DNF(5:4x) did my fourth to last and third to last cycles in the wrong order.

5BLD:
DNF(18:11) forgot four letters for wings, tried to fill them in but got it wrong.
DNF (14:10) on one of my last few +-center cycles I correctly remembered GR, but executed it as HR, so H and R were switched at the end. (video to come soon)

Ahh, I see. IMO, memo seemed like the issue - twas harder for me at UKO. I felt like I had to memorize differently because I was in an 'exam' like environment. You were still close though - congrats on the 3BLD 46.11 too!

I was very relaxed for my 5BLDs and my last 4BLD. I count the last of each as bad luck that they were DNFs since I really memorized well on both.

You'll get successes next time, which will probably dominate/humiliate my eventual successes in big cube BLD

I'm really just counting this as a learning experience, being my first time competing seriously in big-BLD. Now I know what to expect.

 

[antoineccantin]

Apparently Justin Mallari got a 13.67 OH average.

 

[Bob]

Kian Barry set the Magic WR...who would have thought that he had been practicing all these years but just decided not to compete?!?

 

[A Leman]

I did terribly today. My memo was garbage in competition and the more I tried to make them safety memos, the worse they got. I need to start practicing under pressure. It felt completely different than at home. With that said, I still had Alot of fun.

To sum it all up, I was really nervous at my first competition and made some mistakes. It was fun meeting everyone and I plan to come to competitions again. Next time, I plan to be much more prepared.

 

[cityzach]

Bump, please, does anyone have my timer? It says Zach on the back.

Remember that I take everything very literally, so I currently think that it is true.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Eh, 4x4BLD sucks.

 

[danthecuber]

Where are the BLD results?

 

[brandbest1]

LOL rowe won magic
