The least amazingly fast is Michał Rzewuski 7.69s average I think.

I don't think he knows the dot cases, great accomplishment anyway. Is he the only person that has ever accomplished this?

In the 13.76 solve I hit the keyboard to stop the timer, saw the timer continue and realized I missed any button and hit again. Could have been very close to 12.xx otherwise. It was a very nice solve with fat anti-sune and PLL skip.

A quick summary of the morning and early afternoon... PBs in green, mistakes in red.
2x2 - "3.70" 8.35 12.50 6.75 5.09 5.33 = 6.81
I managed a 3.70s single on my first solve (PBL skip) but the timer switched off as it was stopped, due to a loose battery. I was given an additional attempt but the other solves were not close. Solves 2 + 3 destroyed the average.
Pyra - 8.16 14.43 11.95 9.01 5.01 = 9.71
Three bad solves due to a failure of muscle memory during the last layer. The same case came up in solves 2, 3 and 4 and I didn't have a Pyraminx to re-learn it between solves. It got slightly better with each solve!
4x4 - 1:04.56
A decent single and about as much as I could hope for with limited practice. The video is at the bottom of this message.
Skewb - 7.16 11.45 10.98 14.45 19.04 = 12.29
Unfavourable last layer cases for solves 2, 3, 4, 5. Two really bad solves at the end messed up the average but it was still a PB by 0.02 seconds
Watching and filming the 6x6x6 WR single + average was very cool!

Thanks for the well wishes guys. My events have concluded but I will probably stay to the end. I had a PB OH average and that was it. 4x4 did not make the soft cut of 1:10 (I actually forgot there was one). Messed up edge pairing on second solve and quit at 1:09, did not like the idea of a 2:00 solve. Just did 3x3 and got right at my global average so was happy with that. The 24s solve I somehow turned the M layer on an F2L pair. Haha. Those are the ones I typically throw out in practice, and this is why, it doesn't count here either. 
The highlight was my last warm up solve before 3x3. New all time PB! I haven't even reconstructed my last one on paper. I'll see if I can do this one too.
Here's the image with scramble. I can reconstruct.

@Jason Green I've seen your results in cubecomps - congrats of your all pbs!
I started OH using a set of 42mm Zhanchis. Then played with a 50mm Zhanchi, but really used the 42mms... Discovered, I could start using a 55.5mm Valk 3. Now I can use anything I want to, and in fact, will flick around a Wuque OH. I've considered really trying to solve a 4x4 OH for fun.
Your hand just gets better at it... take it slow... give it more practice. Also realize OH is probably the most hardware intensive event you can get into... You'll want to make sure the cube you use is really one you like for one handed. I use different OH and 2H mains. (Gans AIR UM for 2H, and a GTS 2 that I magnetized and put Valk springs in. It is full cutting, and the tension is acceptable. I couldn't set it up right with normal springs, they aren't long enough.)

I've done quite a number of 444 OH solves, it's not that hard, I found my cube (Weisu) was not OH-friendly, particularly on the 3x3x3 stage, where I would hope to get some speed up, but catches /lockups spoiled it.
I've done a few sub-3m's, for what it's worth, but I'm rubbish at the puzzle, maybe I should do it more than once every 3 months...and buy a newer puzzle, too.
Cantin and Park have some Youtube vids of sub-60s OH solves, worth a look, plenty of table abuse, I can proudly say I used no table in my solves.

Sub 3 min with no table abuse is impressive.
Are you going to the UKs this year. They're in Stevenage again.

Congrats to all the oldies on comp PBs these weekend and hope you all had fun.
Wow - London was a fast comp. Gotta feel for the guy who got sub-10 average and didn't even get top 16 to make the final!

My times were shocking today (18.46 3x3 average, 34.77 OH average) but I enjoyed watching the best competing. Apparently the 3x3 final was a WR podium - i.e. fastest 3 in a comp. The number of 6 second solves we saw today was ridiculous!
Feliks came good with 4 new WRs (6x6 and 7x7) and he just missed out on the 5x5 average by 0.09s.
I have a lot of video footage to sort through but probably that will probably be after Paris.
Great to catch up with everyone as always. Nice to meet a new member of the club - Nico!

Thank you Phreaker, Johnny and Muchacho, for your comments about one handed solving.
The one hand drills are such a big challenge for my fingers, that learning these are my primary goal.
The biggest obstruction is my pinkies being droopy on the ends, repeatedly slipping off R' or L,
and the layers not moving. I'm practicing the exercises from this video, and hoping to improve them.
I've ordered magnets for the MF3RS, and a 42mm Qiyi Mofange for practice.
Best times so far, 20s one hand for R U R' U' or L' U' L U x6. Any other ideas? Best regards.

Pay attention to where you hold the cube relative to your hand. Adjusting how close to your thumb, or far away, will make things easier and harder. If you have problems with R', it may be easier to push the cube back in your hand a bit to make the pinky not have to reach as far. Exactly how to you hold the cube and where relative to your hand makes a big difference. That's one of the big adjustments I went through from 42mm -> 55.5mm.

Got another sub 20 single a few days back, 2-look LL with a J-perm if I remember correctly. I'm feeling close to the brink of another lookahead break-through as far as being able to harness it more consistently.
Blind: good progress, both improving memo speed and dropping my success rate. Mostly failures ~7 mins at the moment but that's fine, I already know I can do it consistently given 10-15 mins. Best is now 6:48 and a near-miss 5:48 off by a twisted corner. Also took another shot at doing two without pushing speed and went 1/2 for a second time, so I might start thinking ahead to trying three. I think I just stupidly missed an entire edge cycle with the final 3 edges on the 2nd cube this time.

I've done some solves after seeing (part of) this video:
I expected to be only a bit slower than 2x that time, but no, best Ao50 was around 5.5, Mo100 6.032 (Ao12 4.437, Ao5 3.614).
edit: I've also done some 2H LSE solves, Mo100 improved to 4.385 (from 4.499).

Nice results and congrats on the OH PB!
I'm glad to find out I wasn't the only over-40 competitor there. I have to admit I was feeling really old compared to most of the competitors this weekend at US Nats. It seemed even more youth-skewed than usual.
Are there any other people from this thread that were there?
