Am I totally wrong, but were not the first and third man in 3x3 avg. roux players? If so, this should be a moment for reflection.
 
Ok, I've finished going through my videos, here are the ones I got. Let me know if you want me to send you them/upload them to Youtube myself (I can't promise I'll be able to send you them, as some of the files are quite large)

Kind of relevant: I didn't get my 4x4 before the competition, but I just got it about an hour ago (it's a dayan 4x4). Worst 4x4 I've ever used, probably can't even get a sub 2 on it, but I got a 46.86 solve on Chris's ssv3 at the comp.

DayanMF8 4x4 is REALLY good. You just have to break it in for a while and play with tensions a lot which is a pain. Mine is awesome now, I tried so many SS4s at competition and I still prefer my DayanMF8 to all of them. They tend to have a rather heavy or gummy feel I'd say compared to a SS4 which is light and clicky.

I just disassembled mine and loosened it by half a turn on each screw and its still super stiff and explodes all the time.
 
DYK
I met Joey in the train on my way to James' house?
Chris Wall looks like spef?
I fell asleep in a chair the first night?
If you have a problem, then it can always be fixed with lube?
McD sells vegetarian food??
5bld recognized me straight away, and I didn't realize who he was before he totally owned me with an 8 roux solve? O.o
If not counting penalties, my pyraminx avg first round had a slowest solve of 3.66 (which is faster than the 3rd place for average!!!) and yet it wouldn't even have been NR??? wtf?
I got another sub 1 avg for 4x4x4?
and messed up the NR avg with a counting 1:04? (no NR for me then)
I got another sub 1 avg for mega?
and messed up the avg with a counting 1:04?
and yet I still got NR? (56.39)
I still haven't had an official sub 50 mega single?
Sillybrits are awesome people?
Thom didn't seem to dislike me as much as I thought? cheers! :D
Joey, Zoé and Geert is a nice car seat? too bad you have to lie on them since AvG's car is too small.
Zoé popped her pyraminx while stopping the timer?
I tried to do the same, but since I was using a very tight old mefferts, it was hard to pop it? (that explains my DNF in the final ;) )
*someone gets 3.11, everyone begins clapping* me ~ "I think that's Luke!"
I solved my first 7x7x7 since 2009!?!?!? (even though I have done some attempts a few time each year since 2009)
And I did it twice?
The SS 5x5x5 is insane?
Breandan went into child-mode whenever he saw one of my 15 puzzles? He is TOTALLY addicted to them!
No one noticed I was lying under the table while solving OH in the final round :)
I am slower at comps than in warmup for pyraminx? but I am faster at comps than in warmup for megaminx?
I want to go to a sillybrit comp again?
I slept in the airport after the comp because I had to catch an early flight, and I used my shoe as a pillow for my head? And it was EXTREMELY comfortable!
Robert Yau and 5bld is just WAAYYYYYY too awesome! I guess it's because they look asian!
ohh wait, everyone was just way too awesome over there!!
I thought Ben was a girl?
There is so much more to say, but I guess it's already too long for anyone to bother reading this?

THANKS FOR THE COMPETITION GUYS!!!
