Ok, here is a drawn out 'essay' about the comp.

3x3 round 1:
I forgor to warm up and the venue was very cold lmao. i was chatting with @Kaedenthecuber before the round.

Solve 1, 14.58: ok
Solve 2, 20.52: would have been a 17 if the timer stopped when i first touched it. Lol g2 timers
Solve 3, 14.47: ok
Solve 4, 17.90: i did keyhole f2l a lot but had bad cases lmao
Solve 5, 16.08: just bad solve lol

Ended up being a 16.19 meaning no round 2 for me


2x2 round 1:
I got my PR avg on 3.10. I did warm up this time and I did better than 3x3 tbh.

Solve 1-4 (3.19, 3.02, 3.09, 2.59): ok. On solve 3 I locked up a bit on auf costing me a sub 3 but I don't really care
Solve 5, 3.86: could have been my best solve but i misonelooked a 2 move eg-2 face.

Pyra round 1:
I started with a decent 5.94, but dnfed the second solve because the timer didn't start. then, I got a 7.55 (which was counting ). then, I got a 5.81 which would have been the best solve until on my last attempt, I got a sub-5: a 4.46!!! It ended up being a 6.43 average which is kind of decent.

3oh round 1:
I beat my PR average of 31.39 by 0.76 seconds- with a time of 30.63 seconds. I don't really wanna go into details of the solves, but here are the times:
28.63, (32.64), 30.66, 32.61, (27.30)

Skewb round 1:
I got first . everyone was cheering at my 3.59 single
The 3rd solve (4.15) should have been a high 3 but for the same reason as the 20.52 on 3x3, i missed the sub 4

2x2 Finals:
Ok, this was the highlight of the comp. I got a beautiful 2.42 average which placed me 2nd in the comp and 5th in singapore.

Solve 1, 2.40: This was a well executed solve with no lockups etc. Couldn't have asked for anything better
Solve 2, 2.04: I cannot exactly remember my solution, but from the video it looks like a one-look solve. Had a bunch of lockups which may or may not have cost me a sub-2 but I will take this lol.
Solve 3, 2.81: This was a well executed solve with no lockups etc. Couldn't have asked for anything better
Solve 4, 3.65: This was just a bad solve. I could have done an 3 move anti-cll one-look, but decided to do CLL instead and paused on recog.
Solve 5, 2.00: The scramble was funny, with a side solved so I went straight into the anti-cll. I could have got a sub-2 (and should have), but I had to safety this so that I don't +2 and get a counting 3.65

Pyra Finals:
This was bad. I started off with a 9, then an 8, then 2 sub-6 solves and ended with an absolutely terrible 12 counting the 9. Average was 7.83 placing me last in the round.

Skewb Finals:
I started off badly with a 7.04 but recovered with a 4.68, 3.95 and 4.56. I needed a 5.81 on the last solve to podium but guess things weren't meant to be and I got a 6.07, placing me 0.08 off podium.

Several people got sub-3s on the fourth solve and when I asked them about it they said it was a few moves into a u perm. If I saw that and did it, I could have got my best solve and a 4.90 average placing me second. Why must this happen on my main event??? There's always next time though.

And during the awards ceremony, because I got 2nd in 2x2, I got a prize.

Spoiler: The prize

A megaminx, which is an event that I do not even practice lol. Still, nice cube.

Using my new Aofu WRM cube that I absolutely love, might get me into 7x7.
