Manchester Open 2016 (UK)

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

This comp is cursed, I tell ya! Always things happening to divert cubers away from attending. Funny, there were a couple of things this week that almost stopped me from coming.

Still going through.

Gonna have to be a late drop out for this one, sorry... We've been without water in the flat for 48 hours so I'm not even gonna be at home this weekend probably, never mind travelling or finding practise time

Don't worry about it man, take care.

I poured boiling water from the kettle all over my hand a couple of days ago and the competition was my first concern. Luckily I got to the cold tap quickly.

That's no way to warm up for the OH event.

Ha ha. I nearly had to become a one handed specialist like yourself.

 

[SenorJuan]

I just like having one hand free to scratch my head in bewilderment during solving.

Only goal:

Break Ricky's arm with a high five.

Pyraminx final (12 competitors) is at 16:40 then 6x6 at 18:00 - is that correct? Is there a break?

Yea it's a mistake, probably no break but time for unlikely over run of schedule.

 

[Tyler Comfy Hat]

3x3: comp pb single (sub 28), probably crappy average, dreadful final solve as a result of of a botched alg attempt.

Not too upset.

 

[Hssandwich]

Congratulations on your sub 10 Isaac!

Hehehehe

And unlucky on no sub 10 single yet Eli...

 

[~Adam~]

Only goal:

Break Ricky's arm with a high five.

He didn't turn up =(

The only decent high five I had this weekend was with myself when I got 1:34.xy 5x5 pb single.

 

[newtonbase]

OK. Goals.
Pyraminx - get close to PBs (I think I fluked last comp) Not that close but as expected
OH - Sub 1:30 (I don't do OH) Nearly
2x2 - sub 10s single, sub 15s average Lucky 5.37 single,14.03 average
3x3 - sub 30s single, sub 40s average No, yes
4x4 - sub 2:10No, but 2:15 PB
5x5 - close to 5 mins, maybe PB 4:37 PB by over 30s and a 5:03 that was DNF due to time limit
3BLD - don't go home crying DNF but getting closer

Results were good overall and it was a really enjoyable and well run comp. Thanks to the organisers.

I have heard rumours about James getting an 8.99+. Are they true? If so, unlucky James...

Oh well. I can imagine Adam laughing his head off about it.

That hurts me.
