Rubik's Cube World Championship 2017 - Paris, France (13-16 July 2017)

[Iggy]

Time for goals I guess:
2x2: sub 2.5 average
3x3: sub 8 single, sub 9 average
4x4: pb average, may not happen though
5x5: sub 1:20 average pls
6x6: borrow firstian's cube and lookahead properly
7x7: sub 4 mean
Mega: decent average, make finals? though very unlikely
Pyra: don't fail, but at this point I know it's gonna happen
Sq1: sub 12 average, make finals? but again unlikely
Skewb: sub 5.5
3BLD: sub 30!! make finals
Big BLD: don't do terribly, a 4BLD PB would be great but highly unlikely. placing top 5 would be nice
MBLD: hoping for a random PB out of the blue
Don't fail others
Meet, talk, race and take photos with lots of people

Been looking forward to this for a while My cubing skills are quite rusty so I probably won't achieve many of my goals, but I know it's gonna be a great comp. See everyone there!

Gah, I forgot about you (blind competition wise!) Maybe we can be washed up and fail together

My goals:

Get there.

Have no expectations whatsoever and yet miraculously come out with awesome PBs in every BLD event.

Failing that, go home with at least one half-decent achievement I can report to all those non-cubers who have asked me if I think I can win

Have fun and meet lots of cool people from around the world.

I wonder if there's gonna to be live stream of Finals - like during US Nats?

From FAQ:

Will it be possible to follow the competition from home? A commented online streaming of the event will be created. So you will be able to view the best cubers live !

 

[h2f]

Thanks. I looked throught FAQ but missed it. Any other info about it? Is it gonna be on youtube (what channel) or Facebook?

Spare Eurostar Ticket (London -> Paris)

Understand that at this late stage everyone will already have their travel booked, but thought I'd put it out there that there is a spare ticket on tomorrow's Eurostar group trip to Paris with us (26 people).

Departs at 13:31 and the ticket costs £51 (It's only one way).

Like I said, unlikely that anyone will need it, but just putting it out there.

^ I already have my ticket, but who else is in this group of 26? I may linger at the Paris station, so I can meet up with you guys (my train is an hour before).

This is tomorrow, right?

 

[I_<3_SCS]

I'll be watching from home!

Does anyone have a stackmat timer (with or without a mat) they can sell me at the competition? Mine stopped working properly.

Woah you're going. What events have you been practising leading up to this? Only 2x2?

Yeah, pretty much just 2x2, but I've been busy so I haven't even done much of it.

The stream had some problems at the beginning, but now it's working beautifully.

 

[JohnnyReggae]

The stream is not working very well IMO ... doesn't stop buffering.

The feet competition was very close for 3rd place. I'd like to see that on video.

 

[Liquorice]

I saw some people on the livestream wearing electronic headphones during some solves. Someone should be looking in to that, as it's not allowed.
