The competition was a smashing hit!
We had about ~29 people present, and the competition ran very smoothly.
I do not believe there were any records broken.

There was no mystery event... I was planning to have Jason Baum, Phil Thomas, Dakota Harris, and Issac Wappes race, but two of the 4 didn't show up. :(

Mike Hughey won with 8 minute something on 4x4 BLD, Takao Hashimoto won all non-Rubik's puzzle events, and Phil & Issac the speedy boys took almost everything else.

I got sick the day before this :(, and I believe I did not do as efficiently as I could have had I not been so worn out.

Anyway, Tyson's new competition methodology was tried out, and I ended up having enough time to make 4x4 a final instead of combined final, add another 2x2 round, and add megaminx.

I hope everyone had lots of fun, and I believe I will try to organize another competition in Bloomington in around September. Hope to see you all in a competition nearby!

Wow, Mike! Great job on the 8 solve!

Thanks, Hadley! As I recall, it was 8:2x.xx, which made it my fastest ever non-lucky 4x4x4 BLD, and in competition no less! It totally made up for the fact that, for the first time, I DNFed all three 3x3x3 BLDs right before it.

And right after that I got a 38 move fewest moves solution, even though I only had 40 minutes to complete it because I came in late from the 4x4x4 BLD event. I found the 38 move solution in just 23 minutes. (Phil won fewest moves with 34 moves.)

I was also happy because I got a sub-3 megaminx average, and another sub-1 square-1 average. And a low 27 3x3x3 average. Everything went great for me except 3x3x3 BLD!

Thanks to Joe and Jim for running a great competition!
 
Thanks to all those who helped, and congratulations to the winners! I'm going to try to organize another one in the summer -- anywhere between May and September -- hope to see you all then!
 
Another awesome competition! My results were mixed, probably due to my surgery the thrusday before

2x2 was okay, i got the 2nd and 3rd best avgs in NA (I now have 2,3,4,6,7,8) 3.53, 3.61. The 3.53 puts me at 3rd in the world.

I extended my streak to 8 straight avgs with a sub 3, but then snapped it in the finals, although I kept up the pace of 1 sub 3 per 5 solves through my last 9 avgs by having two sub 3s in the first round :)


3x3 was terrible for me, I had one good single (11.84)

OH was also terrible for me, again only one good single (22.25)

4x4 was pretty good for me, it was a nice avg (1:00.26), I just want a faster single than 55.28 and eventually a sub-60 avg

BLD was awesome for me: 1:41, 1:29, and DNF The second one could've actually been faster, I almost couldn't find the last edge cycle

Minx was alright, barely broke my single and avg bests 2:31, and 2:45, but i never practice

Fewest moves was pretty good, 34. I got a pll skip. I also found a 19 move F2L but could not do any manipulations to find a good ll

Magic was bad, I dont have one but I competed anyway, got like a 2.7 single and a 4 avg haha


Really nice job Isaac, winning 3x3, OH, and 4x4 (with 49/59)
