I really need to go over pyra scrambles, since there were so many good averages in the 2nd round
Oxford Winter 2014 (UK)

Because they had time?
Bear in mind there were no big cubes at this comp!
Sad to see I've been pushed out of the top 5 for pyra average now... I guess there's my motivation to practise again

We cut out 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 to save time.
Oh OK.
The thing that was most crushing about not being able to go to this contest is that if I got a decent average, I would've made the 5x5 final.

I won the Skewb final, but I got second place because of first round lock ups.
What was your prize?

Thanks Ben. Going to try to get up to 9 by next comp. My memo is solid, I just need to get quicker at working my way around the cubes. I still have a bit of trouble with lettering the sticker then finding it's target. I hope that will come with practice quickly.
DYK...
I drove up on Sat morning not intending to compete until 11:25 but checked into my hotel and was still one of the 1st dozen people to arrive?
so many judges?
left me lots of time to chat to strangers?
I shouldn't have bothered with 2x2 but I apparently got pb single?
My 3BLD would've been global pb if I hadn't timed myself the day before?
I never time my 3BLD attempts?
I did really well in 3x3, 4x4 and most of my 5x5 solves considering I haven't practiced hardly at all?
5x5 WR single?
gotta love L5C and tredges skip?
I won MBLD to get my 1st medal after 18 competitions?
meh result but I'm still really proud?
not sure how my hotel got all the way up to 1.7 stars?
79% Absinthe shouldn't be consumed so quickly in such large quantities?
that Massey shot with an English 8ball sized cue ball?
I can't remember it but I'm told it was good?
Granite can play?
Thanks to Greg and Robert. Great 1st comp Greg.

-This was my first competition after 8 years of competing, co-organised with Rob.
-Woke up at 4am on Saturday got back at 9pm.
-Knowing how terrible Oxford is for driving, I allowed 1 hour 40 minutes to get there. It took me less than 45 minutes.
-I spent almost £28 on parking over the weekend.
-The door wouldn't open on Saturday morning, and no one answered the emergency contact number, but eventually the cleaner let us in.
-There was some reggae club being held next door on Sunday, but only about 2 people were in there the whole day.
-and about 10 people spent 3 hours in the kitchen???
-I got quite concerned that we had let too many people enter for the venue size, but it worked out OK in the end.
-I did an Adam Greenwood on 4x4 :/
-My All time 5x5 Average PB before comp was 2:02, and I got an official average of 2:01.02
-I came 7th for first round of 5x5....What? I don't usually even make top 75%
-My worst event is becoming one of my best.
-6PB's at this comp, 5x5, 4x4, OH single/Average
-Having got 7PB's at the last Oxford comp, does home advantage exist?
-Thomas got Irish NR for 2x2, now Ciarán finally has a 2 on his profile
-Despite getting some very good times most of the weekend, I was so tired Sunday afternoon that my performance collapsed.
-It all went very smoothly
No Lost property fortunately.
Thanks to Rob for co-organising, James/Dan for delegating and everyone else for scrambling/judging. People were pretty efficient and all helped as much as they could. I hope you all had a good weekend

A HUGE thanks to those to who helped out a lot during the competition: Breandan, Daniel, James, Maria, Ollie, Thaynara, +anyone who helped out a lot with scrambling and judging (randomno!!!)
Also, if you didn't get the message: When a round has started and you're not doing an official solve, will you GET OFF THE GOD DAMN TIMERS

Couldn't have said it better myself!
Greg: How did you spend so much on parking? The car park around the corner was £13 for a day, so I used that on Saturday, on Sunday you arrived before me and all the spaces on that road we were on were free all day!

Is Bertie Longden's second OH solve in the first round right? 19 is really fast to be in a 45 average.

It was permit holders only, I didn't want to risk it. Also the machine didn't give change so I spent £14 the first day and £13.50 the second day.

The 'hotel' I stayed at was £25 each and that got me a parking space a couple of hundred metres from the venue =P
