I'll be there!

Great competition everyone! I had a ton of fun. Nice that Dene managed to sneak in some Tekken time, haha.

 

[jfly]

Another great competition! Probably the smoothest one I've been a part of. Adam really has a great venue down there.
Shelley and I both royally screwed up some potentially amazing solves, though.

Guys can you post times

 

[PhillipEspinoza]

I still can't believe you didn't place in OH Jeremy, that's not right.

I also can't believe I ALMOST pulled off an 11.55 avg in the second round. Damn man...

overall though it was a good competition and I liked the awards, they were really nice.

Good stuff

Hmm, I'm guessing you messed up a really nice OH solve, and Shelley with a blindsolve?

Jeremy messed up his OH average, he had a 17 PLL skip(i think), and a non-lucky 19, 21, and 2 solves over 25( i know one is 27).

Shelley was 1 cycle off of a 1:05 BLD solve.

1:04

You apparently did pretty well in OH yourself though Sikan, a 22 something average and second place I hear?

 

[Ellis]

I can't believe I almost beat Phillip's average in the first round

I also can't believe I placed second in bld, what happened guys? You're not supposed to let these things happen.

The awards were definitely awesome. Major props to Adam for that and also for a pretty awesome competition.

I pretty much messed up everything except for 3x3x3 blindfolded. I nearly had a 14.xx average in the second round but I just had to mess it up. And it's crazy that John was second place in the first round! Oh yeah, nice 12.xx again, John, haha. You now are better than me in both average and single officially. That's not fair! I am definitely going to have to take you down at the next competition.

That's entirely fair
and you know I've been waiting for that!

I am definitely going to have to take you down at the next competition.

It's on now

 

[MrData]

I'll beat you both at the next competition.

Okay, fine, it is fair! Oh, and yeah, it is completely on. Next competition I'm taking over in both single and average!

@MrData: Crap, I'm scared now. It'll feel just like at DSC. +_+

Haha, okay 1:04. but a 3 cycle would've taken 1 second, lol.

I placed 2nd with a 22.24 average , Phillip had a 22.x also.

Feels good to compete again! (even though I sucked at most events)

 

[fundash]

i was ther, i was the one that was crappy and solved in over 2:00

My OH avg was .02 faster than Jeremy's. I barely placed...

Here' s a video of the fastest OH solve of the competition by Jeremy:
