Great couple of days so far! Hope tomorrow is as good!

Daniel won :O

2,3,4,5,6,7,OH,Pyra,Mega,Clock,Sq1,FM

Is this the longest time (since their first competition) someone has taken to win their first competition?

If it is, I hope one day I can take that record away

 

[~Adam~]

So the only events he didn't win, he holds NRs in and I presume he didn't enter? Awesome work.

 

[Ollie]

If Dan had done blind he could've won everything...btw has that ever been done before? (In a competition where all events were held?)

 

[stoic]

Thanks to the organisers for a great comp (my first)! Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend the whole weekend due to family and work commitments but I still enjoyed the experience immensely.
I'm delighted to have recorded an official sub-30 3x3 single, and although I DNF'd my third solve by not starting the timer properly (noob mistake), with nerves and a chronic lack of practice it's all good. I've known for some time I'm not going to be challenging for WRs...
Great to see Northern Ireland finally on the cubing map!
Oh, and anyone have the scrambles for 3x3 round 1?

 

[kelseymckenna]

I'll try to get the scrambles from Daniel in the next few days for you

 

[antoineccantin]

Wow, great multi BLD attempt

 

[kinch2002]

I'm happy that I won but Tao is a faster cuber really. He popped on the 20 and left a slice off for the DNF.

I have all the scrambles, so PM me with your email address if you want any particular ones. If you can remember what group you were in that would be helpful too.

I may not have time to sort out the results until Tuesday so apologies in advance for that.

 

[kelseymckenna]

Wow, great multi BLD attempt

Thanks man My first cube was the DNF :L I'm going to practise multi and big blind a lot more now

 

[kelseymckenna]

Results are up

 

[Ollie]

According to cubecomps.com Dan won 2x2x2 as well?

Final had to be cut from events since <15 people competed, so there is a 2 round maximum. See regs.

Yep pretty much. We had enough people registered, but when some didn't turn up we had too few without me realising. What do you guys think about which round should be cut? I'm totally biased because I won the final and not the 2nd round, but I think because the final was the final, it should be kept as the final. Obviously mindsets are different during the final, and that I what I am basing it on.

You could argue that the third round was an illegal round (referring to Chris's comment) and thus the second round should be counted as the final, especially as regulations don't take into account mindsets per se.

 

[kinch2002]

Tim Reynolds has pointed out that different people advance through the rounds so cutting out the middle round doesn't make any sense. E.g. James Hamm was 8th in the first round, so going straight to having him in the final of 6 people would not work. I have accepted the WCA decision on this.
