4x4 used to be a mo3 event.

Pyraminx used to be best of 1.

it was switched in the 2011 regs i think

Interesting Delegate.

At first I thought she did not participate in 3x3 to not demotivate the locals (who are obviously quite new to speedcubing).
Then I checked her profile: she doesn't have any official 3x3 results

Still: awesome comp!
Spreading cubing all over the world!

2010, actually.

TOSp 2010 was mo3 so i assumed it was changed for 2011

Funny competition:

Am I the only one who thinks names are stuck with surnames?

 

[Renslay]

If I remember well, there are people who faster with 3x3 than 2x2. Is there any other odd speed comparisons? Like, is there any who faster with OH rather than 2H? (At least officially ) What about 4x4-5x5 or 3x3 BLD - 3x3, etc. comparisons?

 

[vcuber13]

breandan is faster at 3x3 than 2x2
4x4/5x5 was like 2 pages back
haiyan is faster at 3bld than 3x3

I could see them only having one name; Tibet doesn't feel too mainstream.
HIPSTER TIBET

The thing that really confuses me is that 常方圆 (Fangyuan Chang) took consistently over 4 seconds in the Magic whereas he is usually much faster. In fact he's never had a competition before where he didn't at least get one sub-3. I almost wonder if there was some kind of weird circumstance at play in the whole competition, like everyone was blind or something.

And I just realized he doesn't even do 3x3! o.O
