Melbourne Winter 2012

[RCTACameron]

2x2: 2.5ish, 2.32, 2.25

So at least I beat my PB. Edit: If, in the finals, the last solve (2.84) was sub-1.80, it would've been 2.08 WR.

Also 12.00 3x3 avg and 19.77 OH single. Meh.

Both Tim and Cameron are insane.

 

[ottozing]

well this was a great comp for me. sub 14 3x3 average, sub 55 4x4 average, sub 3.57 2x2 average (now in the top 100 for 2x2 average ), sub 4 6x6 average, and sub 22 oh average.

im finally happy with all of my official results .

EDIT: aww poo, to get top 100 now i need 3.46, hopefully i will still be their because of one of the other averages .

Anyone going to Melbourne Central?

 

[Alan Chang]

Thanks everyone for coming yesterday and making the competition so much fun! I'm glad I got the chance to meet all you guys! (at this competition and at Sydney Autumn and at Melbourne Summer and at all the cube meetups.) Hopefully I'll be able to attend another Australian competition in the future!

Also, Luke has asked me to advertise his Melbourne Winter 2012 photo album. Have a look at the nice pictures! (They're not all up yet. I'm over at Luke's place right now and watching him work on the photos. Hmm... maybe if I stop distracting him, they'll be up more quickly, haha!)

No faz?

 

[TimMc]

well this was a great comp for me

Your times have really improved since January! It's good to see "orange" numbers on your WCA profile.

I just improved my 4x4 single/average and OH single by a second or two. But you've shaved off 5-15 seconds!

Man I did so well in master magic, only 4 DNF's!

-2x2, reeeeeeally failed
-3x3 Ok, pretty good. Still no good singles
-OH, awesome. Somehow made cutoff and got a PB average lol. I never practise OH anyway though
-4x4 Decent
-Magic, lol

And I am unlucky judge :/

Your improvement over the competitions has been pretty darn good. You've gotten way faster since I saw you last year.

Why was Josh 3rd in 6x6 and not Luke?

 

[god of rubic 2]

Why was Josh 3rd in 6x6 and not Luke?

It does seem strange..

EDIT: maybe Luke's average was a DNF?

 

[Alan Chang]

Yeah, I think that's the reason. When I was writing the certificates, I used the results from the Excel spreadsheet. But Excel probably sorted Luke's DNF average after the people who had no average. So Luke was placed at the end, and Josh ended up third on the list. (Sorry I didn't notice this.)

 

[TimMc]

Lol Tim why do you still create new threads when you could just post here ?

I posted in this "Melbourne Winter 2012" thread except I used "Go Advanced" and put a title on the post for your viewing pleasure...

Tim.

 

[Dene]

Ursilly

Lol Tim why do you still create new threads when you could just post here ?

What you on about foo'?

 

[TimMc]

Why was Josh 3rd in 6x6 and not Luke?

It was due to a mistake with sorting. I just sorted the results based on: Average, Best and Name. Luke made the cut-off in the first solve and had a DNF and then DNS for the second and third solves so the average was DNF. Other competitors didn't have an average because of the cut-off. So the sorting failed.

I've updated the spreadsheet and manually changed it so it should be correct in the WCA database.

I'll try to remember to watch for DNF averages... and semicolons...

Tim.
