Hey congrats to Ben too! Just been looking through all the results. As well as MBLD he got a pretty impressive sweep of PBs.

Nice to see Bertie propel himself to the top ranks of UK MBLD as well

And Mark it looks like they entered your 5x5 time so it's official

Congrats to everyone who got the results they wanted.

Great fun today, looking forward to tomorrow!

Thanks Mark! Yes, today was very pleasing. PBs in every event I competed in except 2x2. And MBLD was definitely the most pleasing of all. Also nice to discover that berd is a lurker on this thread. Happy birthday Bertie!

Today was amazingly well organised, and considering how many competitors and events there were, all seemed to go very smoothly. And a pretty good showing from the oldies!

Congrats to today's competitors!!

We should keep a ranking of competitions with oldies to plan a global oldies event in 2016!!!

Thanks Bertie. Well done on your podium.

It's been great meeting some of the guys from here. Looking forward to a busy day today especially 3BLD (and buffet breakfast).

Thanks guys. Ollie was my judge and I'm sure that gave me a bit of extra focus too!

Also got 7.15 PB average in 2x2.

Congrats Mark. I am looking forward to any video's you guys have. I am also glad I can keep my Rubiks average highscore for a little longer..

Nice! I went online to see if it was an official solve

Yay to sub-9 average Pyra. Boo to sub-25 average on 3x3!

Hoping to redeem myself in OH.

Edit: I have table footage of the Pyra average. The 3x3 solves might have got lost due to technical difficulties.

OH average PB by 4 seconds and single by 7 seconds, you are redeemed, sir!


I received my stickered Megaminx, 7:46 ...so slow... but better than I expected, I no longer get confused by the colors (after changing 3 of them) so I'll continue trying to see where I get.

 

[Logiqx]

Shame i spoiled the avg with a counting 43. The 50 would have been good if i hadn't got pll wrong and gone back to f2l. Could have been a 33-34 avg.

I've been off for the whole weekend so congratulations to everyone for your official PBs and to Mike for his first time as comp organizer.

That was exhausting but the event was a success. The worst thing about organizing is that you don't have time to warm up before your rounds. None the less, I managed to set 9 comp PBs including a global 3x3 single PB thanks to a PLL skip. By the time we did 6x6 and 7x7, I was completely fried so I didn't get any good singles but thanks to the organizer setting really generous cutoffs, I was able to set my first averages in those events.

 

[MarcelP]

That is awesome Mike! Congrats

 

[mafergut]

Wow! That 3x3 single! And also great 2x2 and 4x4 averages. And lots of PBs. Nice!

 

[Logiqx]

Nice average...

Cool video Mike. I think I saw some one in shorts.. You guys don't know it is almost winter?

That was probably Daniel. As far as I know, he *always* wears shorts...
