Nottingham Summer 2014 (UK Comp!)

I aimed not to come last, and I didn't (2nd last..) so I'm happy :). Also got 33.12 which is my fastest single ever, which is pretty unlikely on my first competition.
 
DYK

- DYK's seem to be becoming less common after UK comps.
- Worst sleep of any comp I've ever been to.
- 17 UK cubers now have a sub-10 single (well done James)
- If you offer too many people a lift, they will all say "take the others instead" and almost end up taking noone.
- 4PB's, but all by small margins, really should have done better.
- Callum's clock literally has a mind of it's own.
- Me and Adam went for a completely innocent evening walk around Nottingham City Centre, taking in some fresh air and enjoying the tourist attractions.
- I do actually own some cubes, although I was borrowing constantly.
- I spent quite a lot of money on chips this weekend, lol.
 
DYK
-47.48 FINALLY
-Took me long enough!
-Clock is funny?
-skewb scrambles are bad?
-Simon is bad at scrambling Sq-1?
-Least sleep I've had a competition yet?
-FMC is more enjoyable when going for a mean?
-Ryan and Tim are super helpful <3
-I need to practice bigcubes again
-I'm still not fed up of organising comps? :D
-Impromptu sponsorship?
-I started the torrent of NRs?
-Rob would have got mega single NR if I hadn't got that 47?
-Not sure anyone actually wanted the extra round of 7x7? XD
-Can't wait to do it all again!

See you all at Euros / ABC!
 
did yuo kno

- i had a timer malfunction on a sub-6 clock solve (~5.95)?
- it had a 2 move face?
- the first extra scramble was bad, but the second extra scramble had another 2 move face?
- FM actual L?
- i did get a 6.30 in the final though which only sets me back a couple of rankings from where the 5 would have put me anyway?
- trying to beat NR average is getting annoying?
- i won a gans 3, which feels very loose but somehow never pops?
- i broke nearly all of my competition PB's?
- i'm now in the top 10 for both the UK sum of ranks?
- i should probably improve my 333 rank? (and my other nxnxn ranks in general)
- FMC = football, men and cheese? (pizza, that is)
- 1-look 222 solve that would've been even faster had i seen the cancellation?
- somehow came 4th in pyra?
- i might actually try and get good at it for next comp?
- i forgot how to do cubeshape a good way before sq-1?
- luckily most of the cases were easy?
- hardly anybody went to mooch this time?
- this was probably the most tiring comp for me yet?
- breandan told me about how much shengshou 5x5x5's have changed over the years?
- i've joined james in the 'not quite good enough to make every final' club?

Thanks for coming, everyone! It was a great weekend, and I can't wait to do it all again soon.
Hopefully see you guys soon :)
 
Hey guys, I'm late to notice this but I'm pretty sure I took someone else's Aosu 4x4 home and they took mine. It's got the standard stickers and no logo.
My one (the one I think someone else has now is quite new and feels new, not too much corner cutting).
The one I have here isn't too bad so it's not too bad but I should stay post this here in case someone is missing their cube. It's got a rather loose tension and feels like it's been somewhat overlubed (not too fast).

I know this is probably just a coincidence but I took someone elses 4x4 Aosu home at Oxford, the one I left was rather loose and the one I accidently took home was less so.
 
Dear MoYu,

Could you please start making awesome cubes with terrible stickers so these problems don't keep occurring because people actually have to change them.

Thanks,

Smug cuber with unique colour scheme.
